Why not buy expiring milk from grocery stores and sell it to restaurants/bakeries/hotels/etc who can use it the same day, before it expires?

What do grocery stores do with expiring milk? Do they throw it out? It seems like a huge waste if grocery stores throw out all that extra milk - why not sell it to businesses that can use it all in one day?

A grocery store here in Richmond, VA called Ukrop's actually donates goods that are about to expire/expiring to the local food pantry. A church that I know of is able to feed 200 homeless and working poor people for 65 cents a plate because of this donated food. It's a tax break for the grocery store but a benefit for the community.

Do grocery stores really throw out that much milk? Would it be enough to supply a restaurant or bakery every day?

Sounds like it would almost be like the old milkman, who brought you milk every day because no one had a refrigerator.
