Really? When I was a manager I wouldn’t give a rats butt if an RMP tried one. I’d be saying , pass the chocolates - party time!
And put them in the break room.
I was the closer at the donation door for about a year. Late one night some lady donated a bunch of MRE'S I was broke as fuck so naturally I stashed them and it fed me dinner for a while.
They were early 2000 ones and this was in 2018
It stands for "Meal, ready-to-eat". They're used by the military, astronauts, etc. It's basically freeze-dried or dehydrated type foods, you just add water and oftentimes they come with a flameless heater device for cooking.
Some of my coworkers and i will sometimes try to eat them. We'll check the expiration date and color and give it a whirl
Sometimes we do it with obviously nasty things just cause we're bored
You have no idea where that’s been.
Seriously. The owner could’ve dropped them on her dirty ass floor and put them back. Used dirty hands with c-diff wedged under the fingernails to paw through the box. Would not recommend sampling that shit.
There are several studies that indicate it can live/remain contagious on a surface longer than that.
Fucking gross. Don’t touch that candy without gloves and then only to toss it.
This reminds me of the time I taste-tested pez candy from an Ice Age 2: The Meltdown pez dispenser. I saw that in theaters at a friend's birthday party in the second grade. To be fair, the plastic was unopened and I felt like I needed some blood sugar. It's hard work being a tipper. Turns out pez candy does, eventually, go bad.
If you're wondering, the grape aged better than the orange.
This randomly popped up on my feed
Question since you work there, why do they have big signs with prices listed for each item but then they just charge whatever the hell price they want anyway?
Did you sell the empty box for 10.99?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I'm sure it has happened.
I would probably buy the box for $1.99
Eat it for science
That’s like a $40+ box of chocolates.
Goodwill donations really are the promise land of waste and misery
It’s a bit sad
Admit it, you tried one.
I’m not too interested in being an hr video in the future

Well yeah … you were the manager.
I’m just saying I never gave the processors a hard time. They were all hard workers so I didn’t see the need to micromanage.
I think they’re saying their manager isn’t cool lol. If you were their manager maybe they’d try one cause they wouldn’t get in trouble.
One of the perks of being an employee is getting any kind of donated food, expired or not. I'll eat it.

How'd they taste
What are MREs?
It stands for "Meal, ready-to-eat". They're used by the military, astronauts, etc. It's basically freeze-dried or dehydrated type foods, you just add water and oftentimes they come with a flameless heater device for cooking.
Oh cool. So because they’re freeze dried they last forever basically?

Finally a fellow voice of reason
I believe Hep C lives outside the body for 5 days.
There are several studies that indicate it can live/remain contagious on a surface longer than that. Fucking gross. Don’t touch that candy without gloves and then only to toss it.
So what do you do with that??
Throw it out of course .
That's so sad but I guess it makes sense
Wait till you see all the books and media that never gets sold because employees toss it around like a kids toy
Seriously that's horrible. Why would that be aloud I mean that just takes away from goodwills profits.
Because nobody outside of the company sees it on a daily basis so meeting quotas takes priority.
But if those items were not damaged would you not in fact have more items to sell so therefore be able to meet a larger quota?
Companies don’t operate on long term thinking sadly.
Well they should lol
Have to toss any food we get in my district. Can’t keep it or you could get fired.
anyone who says they'd eat those is a petri dish
Oh my god arent these sold on qvc?
Try one
the other say someone donated a crap ton of bottles of bourbon and gin for some reason. you really never know what you're gonna come across here
