What a weird crime.
Not that weird. Grab the wings with public money, sell them to some fast food chain with low standards and win a lot of money. Oh! And "fuck poor kids!".
Probably independently owned and operated, non-franchised restaurants. Fast food franchisees generally aren't around the day to day operations and are contractually obligated to buy supplies from the franchise. But it's not impossible that one is dumb enough or desperate enough to do something like that.
What a despicable crime. She stole them from needy school kids; they were intended to feed kids in low-income areas during lockdown.
