These people probably exist, but are an extreme minority, and you should not change how the system works because of them. Maybe ban them individually if you see them throwing out at most. Trying to regulate extreme outliers usually costs way more than ignoring it.

I’m one of these students, I would never throw out food, same for all my friends here. It’s hard enough without wasting.
And I don’t like the idea of “stealing from hungry Canadians”. We all know who the real thieves are, and it’s not people going to food banks.
If someone is going to the food bank sifting through the box and throwing most of it out it is stealing from people who need it.

Taken from a comment above : Loblaws made 551 million Canadian dollars in net profits in Q4 2023.
And grocery stores are responsible for 12% of the food watsted in Canada
