Izikali Ezikhubiwe? Ukuthi Ukudla Okuphelele Kungakukhokhisa Kanjani
-Delile
Uma uke wakhamuka lapho inani lakho lokudla likhanya esikrinini kwa-Whole Foods, awuwedwa neze. (Uchungechunge lokudla lwezempilo aluzange luthole igama lesiteketiso elithi "I-Whole Paycheck" ngamampunge!) Empeleni, uMnyango Wezabathengi uvule uphenyo olubheka izinsolo zokuthi i-Whole Foods "ithatha abantu abaningi ngengozi", isikhathi-futhi kuze kube manje, bathola iningi lezikhalazo ukuthi ziyiqiniso.
Kodwa ngaphambi kokuthi uthi "Bye, Felicia" emakethe ethandwayo, yazi ukuthi akuyona nje i-Whole Foods. Abaphenyi abathengisa ukudla okufihliwe bathola izinkinga ezifanayo kumaphesenti angama-73 ezitolo zokudla abazibhekile, okukhombisa ukuthi izinkinga zamanani zigcwele embonini yokudla. Noma kunjalo, abaphenyi bathi i-Whole Foods yayinecala elibi kakhulu ohlwini.
Inkinga ivela kakhulu ezintweni ezilinganiswe kuqala nezisengaphambi kwentengo njengalezo ezisuka kudeli, ekukhiqizeni, nasezigabeni zokudla ngobuningi. Ngemuva kwezikhalazo eziningi zamakhasimende ezisedolobheni lonke, i-DCA inqume ukwenza "umsebenzi wokuluma" nokuhlola ngasese imikhiqizo. Balinganise izinto ezingama-80 ezahlukahlukene ezivela ezindaweni eziyisishiyagalombili eNew York bathola ukuthi izinsimbi, ngakho-ke amanani, aphrintwe kumaphakeji ukuthi anganembile ncamashi amaphesenti ayikhulu esikhathi, namaphutha amaningi hhayi ngokuvuna ikhasimende. (Iphakheji elilodwa lezimfanzi zedeli lenziwe ngaphezu kuka-$14!) (Sebenzisa lawa maqhinga ukuze Wonge Imali Ngokudla Okunempilo.)
IDaily News ibike ukuthi izitolo eziyisishiyagalombili zaseNew York City ze-Whole Foods zithole ukwephulwa kwamanani entengo angaphezu kuka-800 phakathi nokuhlolwa okwehlukene okungu-107 kusukela ngo-2010, okungaphezulu kwezinhlawulo ezingaphezu kuka- $ 58,000.
Umkhulumeli we-Whole Foods uMichael Sinatra utshele ingosi yezindaba ukuthi iketango elizinze eTexas "alikaze lisebenzise ngamabomu imikhuba yokukhohlisa ukuze likhokhise amakhasimende ngendlela engafanele" futhi lihlela ukuzivikela ngamandla kulezi zinsolo. Uyanezela ukuthi isitolo sikujabulele kakhulu ukubuyisa imali ezintweni ezingabizi kahle. Mhlawumbe sekuyisikhathi sokuthengiswa esikalini sokudla?
Kodwa-ke noma ngabe sekuvele kuthukuthele ukuthi amajikijolo abo abiza imali ephindwe kabili kunentengo yokudla kwasekhoneni (noma ngabe kungokwemvelo futhi kukufanele!), Kubalulekile ukukhumbula lonke ushintsho oluhle olulethwe yi-Whole Foods embonini yokudla. Thatha, isibonelo, isinyathelo sabo sakamuva sokuthengisa umkhiqizo "okhule ngokuzibophezela" -uhlelo esifisa ukuthi wonke amaketanga egrosa alwamukele. Sizobe nje sikala lawo ma-apula akhule ngokwethu kuqala, ngiyabonga kakhulu.
