While these are both pieces of Ha Jin, they are different in their own way. There were many things that stood out to me within each story but what resonated with me the most, and having experienced it, was the wasting of the food at the end of the work day in the Cowboy Chicken story. I have worked for a resort over the past 3 years in food and beverage as well as a small internal pizzeria. A lot of the times we serve 2-3 course meals to the guests and almost always, there are extra plates full of expensive meats, sides, and desserts. At the end of every banquet shift, the food and beverage manager is required to dump the food into the trash. There is some grace towards us employees, where we get to eat what’s left, but by the time we are all fed, there is still so much left over that they are forced to throw it out per their guidelines. We see this in Cowboy chicken when Peter is caught burning the extra chicken in a hidden area and then leaves the remains, when this food could have easily gone to the workers or the poor/less fortunate in the area. Im almost positive this is more common, but a lot of the times, it is never talked about because of the damage it could do to brand image, as we have seen with Dunkin Donuts.
