[OnlinePoker]

Source: CBS News

A lawsuit filed in Michigan last week alleges that a Campbell Soup Company executive made offensive comments about Indian workers and said the company's products were for "poor people" during a conversation with a former employee.

The suit was filed by Robert Garza, who was hired by Campbell's as a cybersecurity analyst in September 2024.

Garza alleges that Campbell's executive Martin Bally made the offensive remarks during a meeting in November 2024, which was intended to discuss his salary. According to the lawsuit, Bally made several comments about Indian workers and said that Campbell's is "highly [processed] food" for "poor people."

In another article from Fox Business News that I chose not to use, he actually called it "shit for poor people".

1. Campbell regrets saying its food is highly processed sh*t for poor people.

It's lightly processed.

Campbell apologizes for the confusion.

2. And, based on the prices I see, it's not really for poor people, either. n/t

10. Here in Rural CA the condensed soup will set you back $2.50 n/t

[rampartd]

17. $2.19 per can this morning at winn dixie

and yes, i am a poor retiree.;

[Jacson6]

18. That makes two of us.

They have the generic condensed soup for $1.50 on sale once in a while.

11. No kidding. Maybe years ago, but boy the prices have gotten ridiculous.

4. Campbell soup is my last choice for canned soup

Msg is in all their soups which is not a good food addictive for you.

9. MSG...

Can damage your gall bladder. I had to stop using it in my 20s because I had allergic reactions to it.

[womanofthehills]

13. Me too -MSG would tighten my throat

I had some Pepperidge farm cookies - looked at label -contains bioengineered food. Gross. I usually buy everything organic but Amazon had them for $2.50.

[2naSalit]

14. That's why...

A***** had them for $2.50.

5. Plenty of good soup recipes online if people want to save some money

simple ingredients and broth can be enough for many great soups.

One of my favorite chicken stews is just dark meat chicken pieces, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, bay leaves, spices, in an instant pot for 20 minutes. Low effort, major deliciousness.

6. I like Campbell's soup

I like Progresso soup.

I like homemade soup.

I like stone soup, too.

[tblue37]

12. You just love *soup*. (So d I.)

[womanofthehills]

15. I just am grossed out by all canned soup

My fav soup - chicken, onion, carrots, celery, parsley- so simple just throw it all in the pot. My grandmother made it once a week when I was a kid.

It’s been 30 yrs since I bought a can of Campbell’s soup - same with McDonald’s.

[2naSalit]

7. Stopped using that...

'Shit' many years ago.

8. I can buy a pound of dried split peas for the price of one can of their "soup"

16. Martin Bally:

[twodogsbarking]

19. Many people cannot either afford or have transportation to anything that isn't sold in cans.

Dollar General is cashing in.

[oasis]

20. Gotta have me some homemade soup today!

[OnlinePoker]

21. I've got a left-over ham bone with some extra meat in the freezer from Canadian Thanksgiving.

Split-pea soup coming up sometime in early December.

[oasis]

23. Split pea soup w/ham. A heavenly combo.

[Blumancru]

22. That's the last can of Campbell's swill that I ever buy

They make enough dough without a contribution from me. I bet their markup on salt, water, and a few other sweepings is astronomical.
Some people don’t have the sense to just shut up and cash their undeserved huge paychecks.
