Covid-era benefits are coming to an end. For those receiving SNAP benefits for food assistance, this means at least $95 less per month. VICE News visits one food pantry in Kentucky that has seen mile long lines for donations since benefits were cut.
Fuck Joe Brandon.
meanwhile our warehouse is burying us with short dated perishable food items because they refuse to lower the prices. at least my store has a few food banks to pick up our stuff. talked to a woman the other day who uses the local food bank and was happy to hear she often gets the good stuff we donate (other stores i've worked at had problems with food bank workers taking high dollar items and selling them).
all in all though it's a shit situation and theft ramped up shortly after the benefits ended. i'm responsible for inventory but fuck it im not going to do shit if i see someone take something. i'll just keep failing until they write me up or whatever idk. anyway that's my on the ground worker report
