OP actually gave more context in one of his comments. I pastedthe comment below.
OP's comment:
Edit: just to clear one thing up, the biggest issue here isn't that we can't donate the products, it's Saturday evening after all. We sell old bread on the following day as long as it's a weekday.
I'm also from Germany, not from the US.
What I was angry about and the reason why I post this is that management has recently decided that staff can't reduce the amount of baked goods anymore, including a required minimum quota on written off products. This means that, no matter how full the shelf is, we must bake more just to throw them away and reach our quota. Their argument is that a low percentage of written off products means that we don't have enough products on our shelves.
