Woolworths Unveils New End Of Day Slop Bucket For The Peasants

In some heartwarming news, Woolworths have this week committed to a new low waste policy which will ensure all the vegetables and baked goods that fall on the floor can be consumed by the needy.

The project, spearheaded by CEO Amanda Bardwell, will have employees sweep the shops daily for fallen fresh produce and broken bread bags, which will then be combined in end of day slop buckets that will be placed near the dumpsters for the peasants to comb through.

Bardwell says she was inspired to create slop buckets after watching a few episodes of Clarkson’s Farm over the weekend, and marvelling at how ferociously the little piggies took to their buckets.

“Woolworths has always had a commitment to cutting down on waste, but we’ve always struggled with what to do with fallen, contaminated goods”, says Bardwell, “with these new slop buckets, we can now kill two birds with one stone.”

The slop buckets are expected to be trialled in the metro areas first, with a nationwide rollout by end of September.

More to come.
