Goodr rescued $30K of food during an Atlanta Walmart power outage

“A Walmart in Atlanta, the power went out, and I mean, went out for less than 20 minutes, right? And because of that, they were throwing away everything in their freezers and everything in their coolers, and so she calls us, and she was like, hey, I don't know if you guys can get here, but we're about to throw all this food away, so we Get up there. We bring, like, I think we had, like, a U-Haul truck, one of our vans, and I was, I mean, the, everything that's in the freezer, so all this food, just, all of it just going away, so I'm like, oh my god, like, does this happen every single day? What's funny, guys, if we go to Walmart, or we go to a grocery store, and we purchase groceries, what if we stop someplace else? Chances are we don't even make it home in 20 to 30 minutes, right? If we get home, we put this food in our refrigerator and freezer, And it's perfectly fine, but because of this fear of litigation, this fear I'm going to get in trouble if, you know, this food isn't perfectly great, it does go to waste, and I remember the day that we did that, and we took that food to different senior homes, and this had to be thousands of dollars, thousands, I mean, maybe 20, 30,000 dollars worth of food that we were able to give to these seniors that would have gone to waste, and it was perfectly good food.”
