> These kitchens can consume food waste
The risk of customers becoming community kitchen dwellers could be too high for the store. Stores need people buying the produce from the shelf, rather than helping themselves from the bin.
- ketzo 3y agoThis could happen in theory, yeah, but in reality (especially in America) I think there's zero chance of that happening at meaningful levels The audience who buys high-margin grocery items is almost entirely separate from the audience who would even semi-regularly eat at a community kitchen.
- tivert 3y ago> The audience who buys high-margin grocery items is almost entirely separate from the audience who would even semi-regularly eat at a community kitchen. Also many of the people who buy "high-margin grocery items" won't want to be physically near anyone who would "even semi-regularly eat at a community kitchen." Any store that ran a community kitchen to consume food waste would likely attract a homeless encampment. Even extremely liberal/progressive upscale shoppers would angrily complain.
