[Peaches McPhee]

It is not wasted.  The workers eat it after the presentation.

@Peaches McPhee  According to other posters no host or crew members are allowed to eat the food anymore.  If you notice host just squish or move it around.

@elizabethl123  Beats me why they have to open so much. Such a waste IMO

It's a sales tactic.  Just like research done on grocery stores on where to put products, on-air food presentation has been researched as well.   All done to get the customer to buy.

It's kind of sneaky, but spreading food out on a large table makes it look like the buyer is getting much more than they are. 

Would one box of candy be as appealing as placing each piece out on the table, then breaking them apart to show what's inside?

I don't know if the food is thrown away because of Covid-19, but before that, I'd bet staff ate it.  

If the food is still sealed in bags and jars, I suppose vendors take it along when they leave or let it there for employees.  QVC has a lot of employees.

Unless you're on the set and sees what happens to the food after they move on to another item, then no one knows if it's a waste.

And we don't know if all of it is even real food...

@elizabethl123 Does it bother you when grocery stores take produce off the shelves when it's going a little south?  Or that restaurants and drive-throughs throw away food they can't sell in a certain time.  

Or how about Sams giving samples?  Or that you throw out food you can't eat or that you buy and it goes bad?  

What QVC puts out as samples is nothing to what they sell and is simply a cost of samples. Plus, it is handled, sits out for long periods, and sometimes is sprayed and painted with oils to enhance it.

QVC needs to show it to sell it.

With all the turmoil in our lives right now, I can't get excited or upset about a QVC food demonstration.  Who cares?

Because seeing all that abundance tends to make people feel they want to be part of it. Customers think they want the goodies, but the feeling of abundance and plenty is a huge part of what they are buying. I'm not sayng it's wrong. QVC is a retailer. It's their job to make delicious-looking, overflowing displays that are hard to resist. When customers buy, it may or may not end up being satisfying to eat the food, but there's usually a feeling of satisfaction at placing the order. Look on the bright side, you get to practice your sales resistance!
