• Here's their "haul"

• Looks like the ends of about 15 or so rolls. I suppose a lot of sandwich places cut the ends off their rolls before making sandwiches, and this is what happens to them.

  This would be amazing to snack on as a worker, to be so real. If you worked there, and on your break you could eat like 4 or 6 of these with some kind of dipping sauce or some lunchmeat, that's a filling meal for free. 

  But… would you ever pay money for this? Would anyone want to pay to eat the hard, stale-ish ends of rolls? This is the type of food to delight a flock of pigeons. No ordinary person should be paying for this. 

• This is why I theorized about the employees being allowed to eat the bread scraps

• Because yeah, that one there has clearly been chewed upon. 

  The employees probably view the scraps as trash, and perhaps they aren't even allowed to snack on it. This signals that a hungry worker grabbed a quick bite, then tossed it back in the bag, unaware their manager was going to sell this off for $5.49 to a paying customer.

  Some people brought up a good point that this place is seemingly misusing the app. 

  The point of the app is to sell off your food that doesn't sell well otherwise. For instance, maybe if you run a donut shop, and notice that your bear claws and lemon tarts don't sell well, so you put those in your “mystery bags.”

  Using this app as your personal trash bag isn't the move! If this place wanted to do that equivalent, they should be making a sandwich out of whatever ingredients are near their expiry time, or maybe using a bread that never sells out. Just tossing the customer a bag of literal scraps is rather ridiculous. The shop could be turning those scraps into croutons instead.

• Maybe call up the restaurant to share this, too

  A good manager would be aghast that this got out the door, and would put changes in place to make sure it doesn't happen again. 

• Sooooo icky
