you reminded me too, I'd also be the one who would take out the trash and they'd throw away perfectly good meat that was just slightly discolored from oxidation/touching other meat all day, and I'd wrap it up the edible stuff in a separate garbage bag right before closing and go grab all that shit and cook it up or freeze it. The amount of food waste that both could be given to the employees or donated to the food bank (which ALREADY picked up ugly produce) was so fuckin annoying. I really hated that place, especially because they always fucking lied about their image being sustainable and all that fucking green washing garbage shit about uplifting communities.
The prepared foods section/deli area was the absolute worst though! They quite seriously filled two to three garbage bags of food cooked THAT day and threw it away, hardly ever signed off food to take home for people unless you were buddies with a store manager since they had to sign it off. It's insane how much shit gets tossed out
Yeah fuck Whole Foods. I once got priced out of a pretty decent apartment and the first harbinger of my eviction was the fucking Whole Foods moving in (that and the yoga studio).
lmfao almost the same exact shit happened to me too! I was thankfully moving already but all the rents were going up by an easy $150-250 a month when they put in a WF near my old place. It also happened to other people I know in a larger city as well after about a year of that store opening.
Yep, a reminder that there's enough food to feed the entire humanity several times over, yet hunger still exist because it's not profitable to deal with it.
