I'm working on a documentary about grocery store waste, but I need to talk to people who have witnessed this, not looking for full names, just store name, location, and what you saw/see on a daily/weekly basis.
Please call or email, Lisa
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
WOW, happy to help! You've found the right guy here, I guarantee it!!
I work at store # **** in M**** I*. Been in 14 yrs and in the last 5 I've witnessed countless acts---blatantly obvious acts, mind you---of prostitution rings among management...and even HUMAN TRAFFICKING with the foreign help!!!!!! One young gal (we'll call her 'Lucy'), from Singapore, was made to live in a make-shift apartment inside on our storage trailers out back. Actually, she's been gone for a while....but I keep getting a Dahmer-stink from behind the building. I sure hope she's ok.
Any way, I hope this helps! Best of luck busting these heartless bastards! Get hold of me here for any more inside help you want!

P.S.: Of course that's ^ not my real name. I'm the district manager, and I can't be too careful!
I'm not sure if you are the REAL Lisa DiGiovine (famous Producer) or if this is a fake post, but you might be better off trying to get productive comments from the Reddit "Kroger" subreddit used mostly by Kroger employees across the country, it also gets a lot more traffic and serious posts by actual employees.
Most of the posters on this forum are trolls or people who write inane comments that do not help in any way, shape or form.
I worked for Kroger for over 7 years. In my honest opinion, Kroger wastes more food than any other retail company in the United States. But that is just my opinion. (Don't sue me). They are also rather skilled in publicity and public "perception" of issues. HUGE quantities of perishable product is thrown away each and every day............ for a variety of reasons including:
Warehouses (distribution centers) are so short of help and under extreme pressure, so that the product is poorly stacked / loaded onto trucks - increasing damage; getting poor quality produce in from overseas - partly because of weather and transportation issues/conditions and beyond the control of Kroger; insufficient numbers of employees to cull and properly take care of produce; markdown policies that are often abysmal; too much of some things forced onto the stores by upper management who have never worked in a store (products are "distro'd") , (and which were not ordered by store dept managers) so that there is an overstock of product - and they go bad before being sold;
........ food that is meant for donation but no one picks it up and it is pitched in the trash; being so short of help in perishable depts that (sometimes) no one has time to mark down items in a timely manner and they are pitched; "go-backs" that are not promptly returned to their proper place because of being short of help; inconsiderate, sloppy, uncaring, dirty, rude, thoughtless customers who leave perishable items in random locations - to spoil at room temperature; etc.
Many employees might be afraid of commenting here because of the fear of reprisal. Modern 'Cancel culture' is increasing, is very dangerous and keeps many silent.
Hope this helps a little. Good luck with your project!

Dear Lisa,
This guy ^ cross dresses, diddles kids and is a chronic public masturbator. He's got a record from coast to coast. Don't believe him if he tells you McDonald's sells Big macs.
I appreciate your efforts but food waist is normal. Companies would rather toss their food than risk a law suit from day old food or partially expired food giving someone food poisoning. Their zero waist zero hunger program is a total joke. It is incredible how much food we toss out at the store level due to food standard safety rules.

Why focus on just grocery stores? There's food waste from farm to table. The whole thing smells of gotcha journalism.

You're not going to get any help from anybody here because you're probably too much like the mainstream news media: untrustworthy. You all probably have a narrative that you want to tell and will only report the side that fits that narrative while ignoring the rest.
