It’s just part of human nature when things infuriate us all of a sudden. There’s even this whole phenomenon known as “Mildly Infuriating” and we previously wrote about it here, here and here.

However, in some cases, we experience a more severe kind of infuriation that is beyond mild. You can blame anything from a car that won’t start, annoying flight passengers sitting right next to you, a surprise call from tax inspection, a morning that started on the wrong foot, or yourself, it doesn’t change anything.

This subreddit “Infuriating” is a safe place to talk about your infuriation, so no wonder its 10.1k members have already taken that opportunity.

The reason why they did that was because a homeless person that used to get the donated food Starbucks because he said that it made him sick and got like $70,000

Sadly, this is also why most bakeries choose to throw their bread away. There should be some solution to fix this but apparently it's not in most first world countries. In most third world countries, donations of food are welcome. Experiences may vary..

In the middle of the plague I was walking around town and went down a side street that's pretty empty of houses but lots of woods. I found a huge pile of share boxes on the side of the road where they were dumped. They were full of all kinds of produce. Almost made me cry.

Do charities run food banks in the USA? In Europe a lot of organizations run food banks where donated food gets distributed around the needy. When my employer tested vegetables on pesticide residues we donated tons of fresh stuff weekly. They were very happy with it.

Yes, we have food charities in the US. But the food must be in unopened cans/boxes/packages. I used to work in the restaurant & banquet industry. Instead of throwing perfectly good food away, the staff usually had a feeding frenzy & ate it, so it wouldn’t be wasted Lol

At the prison I was in, tons of food was thrown away every day. Granted, it wasn't the best food, but better than nothing. Government organizations are not allowed to donate.

I was involved in Food Not Bombs in the 90s. We shared food that would have been thrown away otherwise to hundreds of hungry people and I lived off the left overs for over a year. The fact that people go hungry in the US is grotesque.

But who dumped them? That's more than one store's worth of bags - Is Starbucks collecting them from stores and dumping them in one place, or whatever charity they are supposed to go to dumping them because the food is bad or otherwise unsuitable?

This was true at my old store too. I was prepping bags I had forgotten the night prior and was helping the guy grab what he needed and he told me just to trash them. I was baffled. He said they never arrive at any of the homeless shelters because the shelters won't accept the food, so they throw all of them away anyways.

I think corporations that throw out perfectly good food should be fined. I mean a hefty fine. An amount large enough that it's more cost effective for them to work with local food security programs to actually get that food to hungry people.

1) That looks more like a fridge/freezer failed and had to be emptied of food that wasn't held safely. No restaurant throws away that much food at the end of a day. 2) That doesn't even look like the back of a Starbucks store. It looks more like a distribution center. What strip mall have you seen with that much concrete out back?

My county once paid out $125 million as part of a settlement for several homeless getting deathly ill from food poisoning in tuna sandwiches & other mayo foods donated by two local, family-owned/small-business restaurants. Because the county had sanctioned the donation/pick-up location in county property, they shared liability. Both restaurants (multi-generational & renowned with tourists/travel guides) filed bankruptcy & went out of business. Two of the victims died, but they had other severe heath issues (one was apparently septic prior to the poisoning) that may have been contributed. The result: all county park ax& beaches were closed for half a year, libraries (only two) went to 3 days open for a year and all rec programs cancelled for year, including sports, etc. that we’re county sponsored. You ask folks there now, 20 years after this happened, & they’ll tell you never give a handout. It’s jaded everyone and they’re all cynical about it. Sucks!!!

This does not appear to be a dumpster behind a Starbucks store. It looks more like a dumpster at a food distribution center; notice the parked trailers in the background. There is probably a reason that the food was discarded. For example, the biggest challenge for food distribution that supports emergency missions, local food banks, and similar organizations is transportation. And transportation can be expensive and complicated. Yes, it's too bad this food ended up in a dumpster. But there are a lot of moving pieces and sometimes the most well-meaning and hard-working people still have failures from time to time.

Devil's Advocate here. A lot of donor sites won't take anything "expired." I used to work at a bakery and we bagged up everything left at the end of the night, to donate. The donor sites came to pick stuff up maybe once a month, so we had no choice but to trash the rest of it. We got done closing around eleven PM. Were we supposed to load pastries and baguettes into a van and deliver them to a homeless shelter twenty miles away? All of their gates are closed and locked at ten PM. I am sympathetic with the homeless, having been there myself, but there has to be a better way.

I tried to get my local Target to let me collect expired bread products including donuts, and other baked goods to donate to the animals and even after I promised not to let humans eat it, they would have none of it. Then I asked, if I bought bakery stuff from your store and let it sit in my kitchen pass the expiration date, it would be okay for me to eat it. Right? Yes, he said. Then why not give me the expired food and let me feed hungry animals especially with winter coming? No answer! Americans are without a doubt the most wasteful people on God's earth bar none!

This is very misleading and not confirmed. Picture was spread by a union organizer who did not take it themselves and was taken a year before and at a logistics company (Penske) not a Starbucks. Snopes.com did an article on this claim.

Americans have NEVER, EVER been truly hungry which is why YOU are so wasteful! I know what hunger was the first 6 years of my life! Your stomach literally feels like it's going to eat itself from the inside out! Horrible feeling, especially at night when there is no play to keep the pain at bay! A saying in my family.

Women, don't forget that men have sex with the same organ we pee with. I mean how gross is that? The hole where the ejaculate comes out is the same hole that we pee out of. When you see some neck beard incel walking down the street, thinking that he's better than you, just laugh, and remind him of how vile he is that he uses his urethra to also convey semen into his socks. NOTE: don't actually do this, incels are dangerous
