Stores like that have a huge pressure to reduce waste, because waste = lost revenue. - Beryllium Aug 21, 08:37
not at the one I used to work at. -- nm - Diva Aug 21, 08:36 1
- the one here was different than the ones I knew in upstate NY. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 08:36
how so? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 21, 08:35 19
- so much produce, so many kinds, all of it perfect. That means so much gets thrown away. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 08:36 18
  - very little is thrown away (I worked at one all through high school) -- nm - decline Aug 21, 08:38
  - I don't know anything about that, but i think you are assuming too much. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 21, 08:37 6
    - it could be a wrong assumption. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 08:38 5
      - they donate tons to food banks -- nm - decline Aug 21, 08:41 4
        
        I'd imagine a lot of grocery stores do this... - znufrii Aug 21, 08:43 1
        
        yup. most do it -- nm - decline Aug 21, 08:46
        
        ah, that is very good to know. thanks. :) -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 08:42 1
        
        huh 14.9 million pounds in 2011 -- (link) - decline Aug 21, 08:42
  - a lot of it is utilized in prepared foods and the displays. -- nm - Diva Aug 21, 08:37 9
    - glad to hear that. When I saw 6 kinds of obscure potatoes it was hard to imagine they'd get eaten. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 08:38 8
      - it's not some podunk operation. they wouldn't sell them if people weren't going to buy them. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 21, 08:38 7
        
        back when i worked there (a long time ago) all the ladies had crushes on Danny Wegman. He was a cutie. -- nm - Diva Aug 21, 08:39 5
        
        My mom used to be friends with him before she moved out west -- nm - decline Aug 21, 08:40 4
        
        bow chicka wigwams (all my visiting NYC actor friends call wegmans 'wigwams') - Diva Aug 21, 08:47
        
        Well, my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Danny Wegman -- nm - Don Homer Aug 21, 08:45 2
        
        Better hold onto that one -- nm - zork Aug 21, 08:53
        
        I guess it's pretty serious. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 08:46
        
        this is making me feel better. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 08:39
