You can't win either way, I know large chain shops and supermarkets used to donate food that was on its sale by date until homeless people started suing them, heard the same thing for why they lock the bins.

The Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act protects people and corporations donating foodstuffs to the needy.
The locking of dumpsters is to prevent dumpster spaning as many foods tossed by markets are perfectly edible. Some markets do things like pour bleach on the food to deter people from taking it. It's bullshit.
For one I live in the UK, and second I have worked in stores where we were told to do this, it should of been clear when I mentioned and p for money.
I have also witnessed tramps coming in claiming they became ill from eating a stores food and wanting "refunds" despite having nothing but a receipt that they could easily of found in the car park.
