Free Offerings

It was around lunchtime and my coworker had just gotten off of their shift and were waiting for their ride home, when they came in and were like "Hey....there's bags of free dog food outside." 

O.o 
Huh?

Upon investigation, someone had left two bags of opened dog food -half used- and then an unopened container of hot cocoa powder in front of our store with "FREE" written on them. O.o 

Like....why?

-One note explained further that the 'don't have grand-puppies' anymore, hence they don't need the food.

And while it was thoughtful for them to want to have someone else use the food that they could no longer use....

Leaving it randomly in front of our store is rather odd.
I don't know if they came in and tried to talk to a worker or not.
But regardless.
We couldn't let it stay there.

As who knows where the food has been or how long it was sitting there or how old it was.....

So we gathered it up and took it in the back to be thrown out.
Because we can't guarantee the safety of those who might possibly consume said food items.
Therefore we can't keep them on the property even if they're not ours and free.
We don't want to be liable.

I am still curious though....if the hot cocoa was used with the dog food....or of it was just like an offering to us people like "here you have some hot chocolate!"

The world may never know.
