Comment on Grocery stores should have food banks

  Just for clarity, when you say staff you mean like government employees? Or charity workers?

    Staff from the store itself. I see no barrier for a large business with m/billions in profit to add additional staff to run the food bank area

      So you’re not suggesting some sort of legal requirement? You want a company to voluntarily add labor cost, storage costs, any liability, equipment costs, etc on the chance people coming in for food assistance might buy stuff that not all grocery stores even carry?

      Companies aren’t going to do that voluntarily, that’s not a realistic expectation. The ROI on your suggestion doesn’t make sense, the only way something like that gets staffed is if you convince states to pass some sort of requirement that companies do this…

        This is an idea to flesh out. There are so many barriers. When you discover a problem, try to also find a solution instead of tossing it in the trash.
