Actually Infuriating

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

It's what Jesus would have done

What a cunt.

When I worked in a kitchen at a pizza place in the summer of '88, the restaurant chain's policy was that staff could have any food they wanted, free of charge. They just had to note it in a ledger (I assume so that the restaurant could record it as an expense). You could drink as much soda as you wanted without noting it because it was too cheap to care about.

It always seemed like a perfectly rational policy. It's an easy and cheap way to make your employees think you care about them.

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.

I worked at a Panera a long time ago on closing shift and we had an agreement with a local food bank who would send over a car to collect bread. Usually the car got filled up and we were allowed to take as much as we could carry of the rest. Only anything leftover after that was thrown away.

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

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

Fuck em, take it anyway.

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.

Most likely like this for every fast food place in the US. Wendy's did the same thing when I worked there. There's rarely anything that makes me more upset than wasted food.

Not wanting to incentivise waste is a legit point, but this is the cruelist possible solution to the problem. Which is another thing capitalism is great at incentivising!

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.

You wouldn't want to let people eat this food for free. It would kill the market!

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.

It it's core they were afraid a gay person might snack on one.

I'd love to tell your manager that he works at a Christian establishment and that this constitutes greed, perhaps with elements of sloth. Both are mortal sins. Shall the owners' sky-daddy beliefs turn out to be right, he's in for eternal punishment.

There should be laws that make this a criminal offense. Send managers like that to jail for a month for this, that might change their opinions slightly

I hope they piss in his car's ventilation every day.

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.
