Millions of kids unable to taste bread in the morning and this POS decided to waste all that.

Food waste drives up prices.
2
u/SpecialistWait9006 8d ago
That's not entirely true. If it was Walmart would be causing their own inflation because of how much food they throw away just off expiration regulations.
2
u/Soulstar909 8d ago
That's why they try to be as close as possible ordering what they know they can sell. Now this particular store might offer more next time thinking they will sell it due to increased demand and they won't leading to even more food waste and a slight increase increase in price.

u/SpecialistWait9006 8d ago
Lmfao that's a delusional thought.

u/TonArbre 8d ago
Not really that delusional. Supply, demand, and cost all factor into each other.

You’ve worked grocery at department stores yes? You know how much food we throw away yes?

u/TonArbre 7d ago
Yes its a lot. But the difference is it’s marked down as waste, not a successful purchase

You don't get why this is offensive because you've never struggled in real life. I hope you remember your line of logic if you ever have the misfortune of opening your pantry and seeing nothing but broth, rice, and beans.

And you know these inner life struggles about me how?
Bold of you to assume anything of the sorts.

Any person who has experienced what it's like to go to bed hungry or to be unsure where their next meal will even come from would never find this appropriate. Unless they're an actual sociopath lol

I worked at a bakery and every night we would throw away 75-150 pounds of artisan breads every single night. Fill up trash bags full of bread that were hard to lift they were so heavy.

u/iLuvFrootLoopz 9d ago
I worked at a deli for Publix in a major city where there's plenty of homeless and families going without food. By the end of the week, we toss out 2-3 barrels (literal barrels) of chicken tenders....just chicken tenders.
When I asked my manager why we don't donate, they'll reply is that it's a liability. If we give free food to someone and they get sick, the company is liable.
I asked if I could take a dinner box home of the ones we were throwing out for the night and was told it would be considered stealing.
Corporate America is trash.

u/Haunting-Round-6949 8d ago
damn that's lame...
Bakery I worked out would let us take any food that was being thrown out.
I always had great bread when I worked there.

It's bullshit, no one has ever been sued over donated food. Corporate America just doesn't think people should get anything for free

u/pro_shape_sorter 6d ago
Nope, that's straight up false. No company has ever been sued and in fact there is a law called the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act that prevents anyone who donates food from being sued for this. Corporations really just suck that much and they don't want anyone having their stuff for free. As an individual you can be ticketed and possibly arrested for just handing food to people, but if you donate it to a facility you are protected.

There’s a reason why “no good deed goes unpunished” exists. If they do give them away and someone gets sick you can bet your ass that the person who got sick would 10000% be the douche bag to ruin the free food for everyone else by suing the good-willed samaritan who just wanted to feed the homeless. It’s not 100% corporate Americas fault.

u/Drega001 8d ago
Sounds like a terrible business model and a terrible owner.

u/game_tradez12340987 8d ago
I believe it is a liability issue. Some places can donate others cannot depending on laws.

u/Admirable_Loss4886 8d ago
Yeah but if they’re constantly throwing away that much food they shouldn’t be making that much each day. They’re just driving up their own food costs which in turn will drive up prices. It’s a bad business model.

u/paintrain74 8d ago
Are you just now learning about this? Yeah, it's extremely standard. It's how the business model operates, across the entire economy.

Yeah… And this guy just does this, I’ve seen the same kitchen covered in both peanut butter and sliced cheese iirc
Edit: I wasn’t defending him y’all, I was agreeing and adding that this wasn’t even a one-off, he’s honestly just a disgustingly wasteful person

u/Godballz 9d ago
That should excuse the wastefulness. Did you read the comment that you replied to? People could use that food - This guy just does this. That's just his thing.

u/The_Chameleos 9d ago
You do realize that him using the bread doesn't take it away from others who need it right? It's not like bread is a rare resource
1
u/Dewshawnmandik 8d ago
Literally depends on where you live if it's a rare resource or not, that aside. Basically throwing away unspoiled food as a "prank" is an ass hat move.
Will a group of African children get that bread instead if he didn't do this? No. Does he look like a wasteful idiot regardless. Yes.

u/The_Chameleos 8d ago
I don't really see what the issue is other than trying to be a Karen about it. If it hurts no one and doesn't effect anyone than what does it realistically matter?
1
u/Dewshawnmandik 8d ago
It doesn't matter. In a physical sense. The bread was going to be sold or thrown out after sitting on the shelf too long. Food waste is a bad thing though. I don't think that's a debatable outlook.
The opinion people have of this clip will be worse due to the food waste, and it isn't as funny as an equally difficult prank that doesn't waste food in any capacity. Since that's not funny.
Contraversy is more important than doing the right thing on social media anyway though so he got what he wanted from the video.
1
u/The_Chameleos 8d ago
The right thing? It's bread that you yourself admitted would have been thrown out anyways. The food waste doesn't matter and no one really cares. To me it's just an over reaction to an innocent prank

I’m sure he could have donated this to help his local food bank and help some local people.
However, the majority of the food and water issues in the world are logistic issues, not waste issues.

No respect for his parents or ppl hungry all over the world.
Someday his parents will not be there to wipe his ass for him and he’ll be a bum on the street WISHING for a piece of bread and begging for it.

Here we see an influencer that regularly wastes money and food in every video during a time where many people struggle with both. I hate influencer culture.
