Have you ever wondered what happens to all the unsold and unconsumed food at Dunkin’ at the end of the day?
Sadly, the company doesn’t donate the food or even give it away to customers. Rather, according to one employee, it actually instructs its workers to throw everything away.
Dunkin’ employee Bryan Johnston uses his TikTok platform to showcase a day in the life of a Dunkin’ worker. Some of the 16-year-old’s most viral videos involve him throwing away more than 300 donuts right before closing, even though they’re still perfectly edible.
We throw out so much food at the end of the day,” Johnston said in one video. “I do get to bring some [donuts] home if I want to, but this is just the routine I have to follow.”
Naturally, Johnston’s closing routine has people shocked and appalled.
“Give them to the homeless. This is a waste,” one person said.
“There [are] people suffering give it to them,” another reiterated.
