There was a report...I had it...somewhere. Actually, what a lot of restaurants (and food service conglomerates like Aramark) use is outsourced labor--which is often prison labor, but doesn't have to be. So a restaurant will have a contract with company xyz, which provides the linen service and sometimes other services like cleaning and delivery), and the restaurant therefore "doesn't know" about any labor abuses.<BR/><BR/>The Restaurant Opportunities Center (ROC-NY) has a lot more information.<BR/><BR/>I don't keep strictly kosher, but I do like to patronize good kosher establishments in the interest of helping the community...but I think avoiding fast food/expensive deli food often is more important.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34805796.post-7445120499896680552007-02-08T09:54:00.000-05:002007-02-08T09:54:00.000-05:00Not to be, like, Zionist or anything, but I have a...Not to be, like, <I>Zionist</I> or anything, but I have about 100 options for kosher food within a two minutes' walk from my front door, and I live in a bad neighborhood. And some of those options deliver. Definitely enough to give you plenty of additional choices should one prove to be inefficient. Just sayin' is all.<BR/><BR/>Wishing good health to all the Jewbiquitesses and their considerate manfriends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34805796.post-18832784496007014592007-02-07T19:09:00.000-05:002007-02-07T19:09:00.000-05:00Harley and CJ, thanks for the defense guys, that i...Harley and CJ, thanks for the defense guys, that is sweet. <br /><br />I write this while consuming the second(!) tub of chicken soup (one noodle, and one rice) and CJ just gave me some food for thought: I wonder if kosher restaurants hire undocumented immigrants? For deliveries and such. <br /><br />Also: my mom, and her sister think that kosher meat and cheese is a huge racket. I agree, and thus want to raise dairy animals. Anyone with me?Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10434918343302976597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34805796.post-28165078829513173502007-02-07T18:39:00.000-05:002007-02-07T18:39:00.000-05:00By way of clarification, the snarky delivery manag...By way of clarification, the snarky delivery manager at SFFR didn't directly state their prioritization policy as such. He said, "When this place is crazy with huge corporate rush orders, we're not gonna worry about one soup goin' fifty blocks away!" To this I asked if they didn't send out deliveries in the order they came in. His response: "Of course not." Also, the best they offered me by way of compensation was credit on my next order. Likelihood of there ever being a next order: zero.<br /><br />Seriously, all I wanted was to get chicken soup for Annie, that wonderful jewel we all know and love. So I'm going to have to go ahead and agree with Harley's comment on the kosher restaurant business. A business that spends so much time evaluating and critiquing the religious observance of its restaurant owners, workers and clientele should certainly be paying more attention to its own observance of some of the most fundamental of midos: taking care of the sick and following fair business practices.<br /><br />Don't mess with Annie.<br /><br />-CJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
