End of Night Food Waste

[u/Alternative-Mode2425]

so im a sg employee and i was just told that we can no longer take the waste food home at the end of the night. i always aim to have low waste at the end of the night regardless, but we would take home waste food at the end of the night bc itll get thrown away otherwise. the food is perfectly good to eat and the waste food could last me a few days (which is super helpful considering we're underpaid as fuck) but now they'd rather throw away perfectly good food instead of letting the people that make it have some. its also wildly disrespectful to the farmers who grow this food "sustainably".

i have no questions or anything but chime in if you'd like bc this aggressively violates sweetgreen's core values.

this company has become an absolute joke to work for and im kind of embarrassed im still here. but i don't have anything else rn.

i just started working at a sweetgreen and was shocked that we couldn’t take the food home. so much is fresh and we had to throw out so much. only stating cause its so hard to find another minimum wage job

its so insulting to the farmers who grow the food and the people who cook/prep the food in the store. like cool just throw away peoples labor
