Me and the gang tonight behind WF
:possum-party: :possum-mama: :possum-dog:
Look at all that capitalist efficiency, truly amazing, not a bit of waste ever happens under the superior capitalist system
(I never worked at WF but I did work at a hippy food style grocery store that did the same thing for years before a WF moved in. One of the few physical perks of working there was that we weren't required to throw away "unsellable" stuff, only stuff that we personally viewed as dangerous. So we'd try to hook up as many of our fellow workers as we could, but still wound up tossing stuff in the dumpster.)
The juices that looked like they were made on site are actually required to be "tossed" at the end of the night as they aren't pasteurized. This is pretty standard as far as US food safety codes are concerned.
Tossing perishable but prepackaged items that customers took from where they belonged but left where they weren't usually meant stuff was tossed. Like, a frozen pizza left out until it thawed, we just write off. Full carts of refrigerated items abandoned by customers would sometimes not get found by workers until well after the stuff warmed up, those would get tossed too.
Same thing can happen when receiving and stocking, somebody starts to break a pallet or stock a case of something, get pulled away for an hour, and comes back to find that nobody put away the ice cream they were stocking and its now melted.
Customers can and will lose their shit over single serving yogurt stuff being at or near their BB date. I always found that weird because... its yogurt, its literally food that is filled with bacteria and left to rot, that's why its cool.
yeah you'd be surprised how much you can find in those dumpsters. Irl boxes of loot.
when the loot box has the means to destroy the capitalist class :CommiePOGGERS:
How long till/where is this already illegal?
I can see how paying one dude to guard the dumpster could actually be profitable if it means that a thousand people won't have hand sanitizer to last them 2 years, because it would prevent them from buying sanitizer that they would have otherwise bought.
On the other hand: why haven't supermarkets started dumping excess food around their competitors' parking lots yet? Makes more sense than throwing it away
We did the most successful genocide in history so that we could steal the land to do this
It couldn't possibly be more evil
Reminds me of making YouTube vlogs with a ps2 eye toy. We’ve come full circle!
We have grown indifferent to all kinds of wastefulness, starting with the waste of food, which is deplorable in the extreme”.

:amerikkka:
The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.
There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.
hahahaha holy shit the one with the boxes of hand sanitizer & cleaning products that don't expire til 2023
why even throw that shit out if you over-ordered??? just keep it in a corner jesus christ
But yeah we all need to obsess about our own personal consumption because we as individuals are the problem.
