I'd love it if we could ban BI from HN due to their extremely low quality content.
Personally, I assume such articles are bullshit until proven otherwise, but accept them as social objects. What's orders of magnitude more informing is the on-topic and off-topic HN comments under such articles.
I'm a Whole Foods employee, having one of those rare (for me) moments where I can reasonably be considered very well-informed on the subject of a news article, and it's a little bit disturbing just how misinformed and one-sided the article is. The author seems to have talked with 10-20 disgruntled employees at a few stores nationwide, and a few customers on top of that. Maybe she should have reached out to Whole Food…

How about the real pictures from customers of bare shelves? Those should count just as much, or are they disgruntled as well?
Maybe example of AI narrow intelligence gone wrong?, well, assuming its AI, I can't see implementation and Amazon is obviously behind this. Seems like the model is borked.
Many customers are blaming Amazon, which bought
Whole Foods in August for $13.7 billion. Analysts
have speculated that the shortages could be due
to a spike in shopper traffic in the wake of the
acquisition.
But Whole Foods employees say the problems began
before the acquisition. They blame the shortages
on a buying system called order-to-shelf that Whole
Foods implemented across its stores early last year.Earlier quoted context omitted.

I wish I could upvote this twice. I know its just anecdotal data, but the rare occasions I have had personal knowledge of news articles they have been grossly inaccurate, every time. Where is the quote from? Edit: from another comment: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/65213-briefly-stated-the-ge...

How much food was allowed to rot too keep the shelves stocked? I’m fine with a few empty shelves if it means less wasted food.

I worked for a Safeway for a bit and would see how many bananas they'd trash of which you could easily make a few things on mass in house.. banana cream pie, banana ice cream... if regulations were to be cut back some you could even make banana rum in store. I don't think that'll happen anytime soon.
It's also a shame there isn't a system set up where you freeze the wasted product in bulk and ship it out to a facility that could process it into animal feed.
