Supermarkets destroy food if it doesn't sell. We can always feed the world. We just don't.

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

We have too good to go, it's an app where shops can sell stuff that is near end of life at a discount. Some shops are better than others, we spent £3.99 for a portion at a local bakery recently and got 2 huge bags of baked goods.
Food doesn't get wasted and it costs very little compared to it's regular value. There is also a charity that focuses on similar things but ~~elitist cunts~~ friends and family have said I can't go there because I am not starving. They make it sound like a food bank when it's a shop selling products cheaply - or it was, they closed recently. Wanted to go but heavy social pressure/judgement not to put me off..
Olio is a similar one that takes the food a bit before close, and distributes it to whoever can pick it up from their "food waste heroes" at no cost
Thanks. Just downloaded it. In my area it looks like mostly baked goods.
Kinda makes sense as they have a short shelf life.
If I decide to pick up later I can get pizza.
I might have to not use this app. I kid.
If you know anyone else in your area that has used it ask them for recommendations. Some shops give stuff that is technically a deal in the sense that I paid £5 for £18 "worth" of produce but that is only because they sell a sandwich for £8.
Independent bakeries have been much better than chain coffee shops/cafes in our experience. Plus who doesn't want to support independent bakeries? Shame the butchers isn't on there, could do with a massive haul of surprise meat for when I plan to do a BBQ.
