Actually Infuriating

How very Christian of them.

In a sane society this would be illegal.

There are services out there that even take rejected food! This is so infuriating! Shame that owner, and shame the capitalistic system that made this all possible!

It's what Jesus would have done

You know what would keep that from happening? Free food for the employees while at work.

I used to work at Chick-fil-A in high school for about 2 years. At first we were able to take ice cream home at the end of the day since it would just be poured down the drain anyways. Same with nuggets and fries. It was so fun and rewarding to have a little extra treat. Corporate said the exact same thing, so now we had to pour the soap cleaner into the ice cream machine before emptying it so no one drinks any. It’s so sad.

I just had to do a swap with Domino's because they gave me the wrong pizza. Just watched them throw the pizza in the trash. It pissed me off, they should have let me keep it. Bullshit sick corporations throwing editable food away. This picture pisses me off.

Manufactured scarcity. Millions of people right here in America are going without the calories to be healthy. And our government literally just burned millions of tons of USAID ment for overseas. They refused to give it to the fucking tax payers let alone donate it to needy people in Africa. Conservative beliefs is a death cult. (specifically the poor, queer, and minorities death...)

Back when I was in high school (and not super poor but my family couldn't afford good quality food) I worked at a sandwich shop that would bake fresh bread everyday, one day there was a power outage and we ended up with a ton of extra bread, I walked home with a huge trash bag full of fresh baked bread, it was fanatic. Worth the weight and the hour walk home.

That's very christian of you, chick- fil-A.

Those cookies are wrapped and sitting at the top of the trash.

The George Costanza in me says it’s okay to take them.

Fuck em, take it anyway.

Very common. When i worked retail we had to do this. I would make sure to always bag it in their own separate (clean) trash bag, and wouldn't you know it i just couldn't lift it into the dumpster. And somehow that food was always gone within a few hours before i locked up.

It seriously was fucked up how much food got 'wasted' every day

Shout-out to too good to go

Extra/not picked up food from restaurants and groceries gets bundled as a mystery box at discounted prices so they don't have to be tossed.

Rhett and Link from good mythical morning regularly do unboxings and reviews

When i was a manager at Michael's, I would usually be the one to "scan out" items that went past their sell-by date.

I would always put the expired candy/soda/chips in a box, write "Trash: These items are expired and are NOT to be taken home and enjoyed ;)"

Stick it in the break room in the morning, throw away the empty box about mid-day.

If you think this is bad, just wait until you find out how much food grocery stores throw away every single day.

They should be producing baeed on sales anyways. They wouldn't bake extra to keep because you would be reprimanded for baking extra at the start vs wasting food at the end. It takes the human element out of decision making which also, ironically, let's you react more humanely to the system.

This makes me sick. Had the exact opposite experience while working at Honey Baked ham. We were sent home with food almost every day. Even then, on Sundays we would donate bread and meat that was about to go bad to the local church. Was a wholesome experience working there honestly. Hope they still operate that way.

Solution. Have the amount of cookies made everyday set by management, then take the excess home/to the food bank.

The good news is crumbl cookies donates their excess to the kitchen where my local branch of FNBs preps.

The bad news is they have SO MUCH excess that we literally cannot get rid of all of them giving them away for free. Some end up in the compost.

Food waste seems pretty high across the board for every country in the world. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/food-waste-by-country

This is not infuriating, idc that a few cookies are being thrown out. People arent starving for some cookies in America. What is actually infuriating is the Trump admin throwing out entire shipments of food that could have provided people with healthy staple foods for a long period.

When I worked at Ruby Tuesday, any time a wrong order was made, or something was sent back for any reason, it would get thrown out. They wouldn't give it to their employees, they wouldn't donate it. This was back in 2007. But I thought it was pretty crappy then. Not sure if they still do this.

oh gosh i think the imperial cult themed chicken corpo might be bad

you there, reading the replies! do you think there is a possibility that the openly hateful soggy sandwich dump is bad?

nobody can be sure if Hater's Extra Christian Chicken is a bad establishment until we all weigh in

Shouldn't the number of cookies to make be a management decision, or do I misunderstand the word "management"? Make a decision, Manager, and if it's too low you run out early and lose a few sales, and if it's too high you let the employees take the leftover cookies home and maybe you get some employee appreciation. Either way, that responsiblility should be yours. More responsibility is one of the reasons you get paid more.
