If Starbucks is donating the unsold food for free, that’s fine.
There’s that darn FREE word again!
Yup.
It’s their product and their money.
People here have no business complaining as if Starbucks owe them those sandwiches because they aren’t homeless.
I live in N.J. and the company that I was working for had a semi annual open house with plenty of catered food. There was always plenty left over and I volunteered to take it to Paterson to a homeless shelter. I was told that legally we could not do that. Apparently so called second hand food cannot be donated. In the meantime the food went into the dumpster. What a waste. But that was/is the law here in N.J.
I agree. Starbucks is taking product which is no longer of any value to them and letting homeless people scavenge the waste. They save the expense of waste disposal and they get "virtue signaling" points up the ying yang from the elitists they consider to be their main customer base.
It's smart management and free advertising. And the chumps who are part of the "I'm too good to drink ordinary coffee" elite cabal will never even realize what they've done.
