Actually Infuriating

Sadly, just about every product at retail has a version of this. Mass production produces waste at every stage, including the final product. At the same time, those waste streams have value and need to be managed to avoid hurting the bottom line. Usually it's a practical money-making thing, but I suspect that there's ample room here for spite.

For example, "expired" magazines get the covers ripped off, so they can't get re-purposed somehow. Also, new cars are downright rage-inducing when you learn about the full picture.

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.

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.

Then make less? Or set a number of how many to make so there isn't waste?

Has this company ever done LEAN transformation or any corporate practice to reduce waste?

Or are they just concerned about donating to conversion therapy and dumb Christian hate stuff?

yeah exactly what'd i'd expect from chick fill-a

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

When you're too stupid to work so you manage instead.

The part I'm mad about is that part of his job is to keep track of how many of what they make and throw out. He's literally wasting food because he's too stupid or lazy to do his job.

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.

Super simple fix:

Every employee gets up to five ~~free~~ cookies as part of their compensation for the day. Employees may choose to take from the surplus if they care about eliminating waste.

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.

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!
