In my area there is a small Franciscan friary. Every Saturday evening, they were given the leftover sandwiches and bread from a local supermarket (and it's a very big chain) that were on the verge of expiry date and couldn't be kept over a Sunday, take them into the West End and distribute them amongst the homeless. Since the introduction of more flexible opening hours, these leftover foods have become practically non-existant, because the shop is open more hours and one opens on Monday and doesn't close until Saturday night. It's got to the point where there is no point in distributing because there is just not enough left over to make it worthwhile (I'm talking 2 or 3 where it used to be 20 or 30 a week).
