‘Pay what you feel’: the supermarket giving wasted food new life

The Inconvenience Store in Melbourne is providing fresh produce to people doing it tough

A man places his shopping bag on the counter filled with canned goods, fruit, vegetables and a loaf of bread. He passes it to a woman, who weighs the bag, while her colleague makes a note on a clipboard. Then they wish him luck.

"Come back soon," 19-year-old Vincent Hui tells him. No money changes hands. Asked why he had come to the shop, the man tells Guardian Australia: "Some days are just tough."
