'Bum appétit!': NY Post story condemning homeless man for sampling from buffet gets blasted on social media via nparts
A man samples food from a Whole Foods hot bar. On its face, this story starts pretty benignly. Far from an inconceivable act, an unnamed person’s only offence was disregarding the “numerous ‘No Sampling’ signs” at a Midtown Manhattan supermarket.
While the article includes quotes from unnamed employees who were familiar with the man — “Oh, he comes here all the time,” one told the New York Post. “We can’t do anything about it, we were told” — the voice of the subject is notably absent. Unsurprisingly, rather than the man’s behaviour, the dehumanizing tone of the article and the decision to broadcast his circumstances has elicited criticism on social media.
The piece also has its defenders, including New York Post journalist Jon Levine, who tweeted: “A Whole Foods in Manhattan is allowing a deeply unsanitary situation to continue — with their own employees openly laughing about it — potentially putting their customers at risk. If you think it’s mean to report this news, you go eat at that hot bar!”
