Idk about America, but here the fresh bread is fucking gone by 3 hours before closing. Well, except for the dark bread, there's always a little of that left.
i actually used to work in a grocery store in the US, unloading bread from the bread factory trucks and throwing out old bread. I'd usually have it done by 7 in the morning and very nearly I'd be throwing out exactly as much expired bread as i was putting on the shelf. at no point would a bread sell out.

So it does change then.
San Francisco here, we love fancy bread. Not sure if we entirely count as American though
