You call him an individual trying to help other people. Is this something new to you? We have places here in Cincinnati that give away donated food...gasp...FOR FREE RE: Trader Joe's Ex-President Opens Store With Aging Food And Cheap Meals - GMDino - 06-05-2015 (06-05-2015, 02:14 PM)michaelsean Wrote: You call him an individual trying to help other people.

But apparently businesses should only operate for profit and not care about their fellow humans. At least that what I'be been told.

No. I assumed the business was non-profit. He might even, gasp, pay his workers! But please, enlighten us how this is bad.

Its just too bad if you can't afford healthy food...or medicine.

And when this guy ran a for profit business he made a profit. RE: Trader Joe's Ex-President Opens Store With Aging Food And Cheap Meals - SunsetBengal - 06-05-2015 I'm sorry, but where I come from, donated food is just that, donated. It does not come at a cost slightly below what the supermarket is charging for brand new food, it is just a donation for the needy. yes, the man is profiteering, and using people's tax deductible write offs to make a sale.

Well, those are some lofty assumptions that kind of destroy the preimise of your thread. As usual, you have NO understanding of how businesses actually work. You're good for 2-3 clueless threads a day. You're like the golden schlub for left-wing propaganda.

Exactly. He made his bank and is looking for a paycheck and status in retirement. This model is not new. It's slightly less self-serving than the Clinton Foundation. By the way, since some appear to be ignorant, execs at non-profits can make VERY handsome salaries.

And you win best non-response response of the week. As soon as I am back from vacation I'll get to work on your trophy. |
