Bakery waste practices and Split bar closure discussed on Reddit

Discussions on Reddit have highlighted varying practices regarding unsold bakery products. Former employees shared that some bakeries return unsold goods to suppliers to be used as animal feed, while others donate leftovers to charitable organizations or repurpose bread into croutons. However, some reports indicate significant food waste, with some establishments discarding multiple large bags of unsold items daily. Some bakeries attempt to mitigate waste by lowering prices toward the end of the workday, and apps like Crumbs are being used in cities like Zagreb to sell surplus food at discounts.

In Split, the closure of the bar Funky George has sparked local debate. An announcement on Reddit stated the establishment would close following what owners described as three years of repression by the City of Split. The owners expressed dissatisfaction with the local business environment, suggesting the city is becoming a transit hub rather than a vibrant destination, and indicated they would seek better opportunities elsewhere.
