A Twitter post by Fuckin’ Princess @8WithaTiara that reads “Everybody talking about how poor people shouldn’t be able to buy junk food on food stamps… Well, I don’t think billionaires oughta be able to buy 14-year-olds on private islands… But here we are.”
From my experience Kroger in Houston TX is pretty bad about throwing things out instead of passing it to the needy.
The only reports I have seen of this is due to a power outage. Do you have any reports on this? I have a hard time seeing an industry standard in several areas that I have worked in, being different in just that area.
I have seen many reports of farmers discarding their crops. But that is different than the distribution end.
a store near me had an unfi outage(wf) and they have throw ever refrigerated food, produce out and took a month to recover from.
Well that’s because if they can’t keep it refrigerated and it spoils it could harm someone and they could be sued for hurting people. Should they have given it away? Probably. But the logistics to do that may not be available at the time.
That argument has been shut down over and over and over and over and over again. Just FYI. It’s a non issue.
No it’s not. At least not internally. The companies do not wish to risk the liability. And it’s a sound decision. It takes weeks to stock a store. You cant just move everything and ensure that it’s kept to the same standards immediately. It’s a logistical nightmare.
2005 I was employees while in high school and told to bin a ton of produce when a coworker asked to take it to the local kitchen and a close friend who is currently employed by Kroger (working there for 7ish years now).
That said I have not seen any hard reports outside of my very old experience and an account from a current employee (friend).
