Another reason to hate Whole Foods…

There’s a news story in today’s New York Times that sounds like it was taken from the pages of Les Miserables. In the Victor Hugo novel, Jean Valjean is jailed for stealing bread to feed his starving sister and her family.

Whole Foods fired an employee for misconduct when the employee, Ralph Reese, retrieved a tuna fish sandwich out of the trash. The story might not be as dramatic as Hugo’s, but Reese is fighting the ruling with the same passion that Jean Valjean had for constantly escaping from prison.
