@ashleyspencer We recently lost one of our dogs to illness and called Chewy about possibly returning $75 in prescription meds we had not even opened. They refunded the full price, didn't want the meds returned AND then sent a hand painted stone with Emmy's name on it. Hard to say enough good things about #Chewy customer service.
#TIL American grocery store staples like #LuckyCharms cereal, Triscuits to #Cheetos & #Chewy brand #granola bars were revealed as being made by migrant children working in allegedly unsafe conditions at secretive processing plants in #GrandRapids, #Michigan?
The #PrivateEquity owned mfgr now seeking #Chapter11 bankruptcy protections has been hit with numerous govt probes, ranging from blocking #Unionization efforts to #ADA issues to exploiting #ChildLabor across 28 facilities in multiple states with over 12,000 employees.
A 2023 #NYTimes investigation found factory floors staffed with low wage undocumented staff, including kids and that has led to recent #bankruptcy filing of Hearthside #Food Solutions, a mass market production & packaging firm
"It would be hard to find a cookie or cracker aisle in any leading grocer that does not contain multiple products from #Hearthside production facilities,” said Richard Roscoe, manager of just one of the corp's four plants in the Grand Rapids, Mich area.
Hearthside , whose plants are largely reliant on non union #TempWorkers , has been publicly mentioned as a partner to #GeneralMills and #PepsiCo. In 2014 Hearthside Food Solutions was sold to #GoldmanSachs and 2018, it was announced #HearthsideFood purchased a #Kellogg cereal production plant in Indiana. Mgmt s proud of flaunt titles such as being named to lists of "Fastest Growing Private Companies" and is recipient of multiple innovation awards, and rarely touts or mentions its many labor law violations or legal troubles.

Tonight was really tough. Had to help a victim of domestic violence. The dude was off the rails. I was probably the most calm while handling a DV case that I've ever been, even though I was incredibly triggered inside from my own trauma.
I'm mentally exhausted and it lasted an extra half hour past my time to clock off, but as a team we got her out of there and into a safer spot.
After all that emotional spinning, I came home and this was in my mail box.
I fucking love #Chewy.
#KingstonTheDog loves these little trash pandas he got for Christmas from #Chewy
Tonight he insists that this one (of 3) is his buddy. I can tell because it's covered in slobber. I tried to throw the other 2 at him to play with, but nope...this one is his friend tonight.
I'm gunna name him Chungus Jr.
D'awwwwwwwwwww! #Chewy sent Kingston a birthday present & card! They really are the best company out there.
