My bunch of my friends all worked at KFC during high school. At the time they could take home leftovers at the end of the day.

So of course a lady that worked there would routinely put on 24 pieces of chicken about 20 minutes before close and ruined it for everyone. She was ultimately fired for working a scam at the drive though.

Point is it only takes one to ruin it for all. I understand why a lot of places have policies like this... it's a shame though.

Well, the easy solution is to fire the bad apple as opposed to changing the process. I have been to KFCs at the end of the day and in trying to order a 3 piece meal, they told they'd give me a family meal at a discount or if I wanted to buy a dozen biscuits, they'd throw in a family meal.

Having worked as a supervisor and manager I can say /u/HiddenFox is correct. One rotten apple is all it takes to spoil the rest. That's why managers are expected to fire everyone on the shift who worked alongside that one bad apple, which is why it's in the employees best interest to catch the bad apples as soon as possible with audio/video evidence as well so they're covered for liability purposes. It's one of the reasons why some will dispose of unsold food to non-profits organizations who will feed homeless people at their own locations.
