Earlier this week, a man named Gary Joe Ahrns released a video that went viral, exposing a Walmart in Celina, OH that was tossing out what he thought was good food.
He went to the back of the store and noticed dozens upon dozens of grocery items all lined up and headed for the dumpster. The items included butter, milk, cakes, hot dogs and cheese. A manager walked out and noticed Ahrns making the video and told him that he didn't know why they were throwing it away, but it was a corporate issue. Another employee told Ahrns to call Walmart corporate and then leave. Needless to say, Ahrns was pissed that the biggest retailer on the planet didn't give away the food or even give it to the employees.
A few days after the video went viral, Walmart corporate did release a statement, stating that the Celina store was without power for 14 hours and have to dump all the food from their coolers as protocol like all grocers do when the power goes out for an extended period of time. However, I do smell something fishy, and it's not coming from their coolers.
One of the items that Ahrns took out of the cart was canned ham. Yes, canned ham that was good until 2020. Now, where I shop, the canned ham is not refrigerated. It's next to the canned tuna, soups and even packages of cooked bacon, which is also not refrigerated.
On my Facebook news feed, one person claimed that they've seen their Sam's Club dump out carts of food before. Dumping food is also something farmers do, especially when food prices bottom out.
You know, it's sad when people support this evil and disgusting chain, thinking that they will save some bucks. In the end, The real losers are their shoppers and the family-owned grocers they've fucked over. Remember their Walmart Express stores they had in tiny towns down south? When those town's family-owned stores closed, so did the Walmart Express stores, turning small towns into food deserts. Last week, I just read about a family-owned grocery store here in Michigan that closed after 60 years in business. The store had a cow head on the front of its building, making it a landmark. Now, because of its closure, people now have to drive 12 miles west for groceries. One of the options, of course is Walmart.
Of course, this is Walmart we're talking about. A chain that's worth billions and yet their employees don't make squat. I agree that if they can't sell the food, they should give it to their underpaid employees. But no! It's all about the almighty dollar. Another good reason why I try to support local when I can. And yes, Meijer is the lesser of the two evils between them and Wally World.
I'll betcha that if they could, Walmart could put their own bowel movements on their shelves instead of real food.
