Too Good To Go<\/a> is a service that was created to suddenly prevent food waste. Restaurants and gas stations offer surprise bags – for a pre-paid price you get items nearing expiration (but not yet expired). Usually at places like gas stations it will specify whether it’s a general surprise bag which can contain any consumable they sell or a baked goods surprise bag which could include muffins, cookies, croissants, etc. <\/p>\n

All that to say we got a general surprise bag from a gas station recently that was actually very good for $4. Inside was a yogurt parfait, fresh fruit, two muffins, a stuffed croissant, and some Kraft mac and cheese.<\/p>\n

This morning we stopped at Speedway to pick up a baked goods surprise bag for $4. First off, it wasn’t ready so we had to wait while they put it together. When it was handed to me I could see through the bag it had a can of Pringles and some candy in it. I pointed out it was supposed to be a baked goods surprise bag and the lady started arguing with me, saying it can include anything. I replied, “no, that would be the regular surprise bag”. I could tell the guy working the counter was looking at her sideways. She was treating ME like I didn’t know what I was talking about when that was HER. I even pointed out in the app it said “baked goods” and she told me they don’t sell cooking items, as if I was asking her for flour and sugar to bake a cake or something! Finally she threw in two packages of mini donuts off a nearby rack to get me to leave. <\/p>\n

I got home and opened the bag.<\/p>\n

None of the stuff was expiring anytime soon except one of the peanut butter cups which was over a month past expiration. What that means to me is they aren’t following the spirit of the app and are merely trying to pawn off their poor selling items. <\/p>\n

Those egg shaped items are bath bombs, by the way. The lady who I dealt with didn’t seem too bright so I wouldn’t be surprised if she thought they were candy due to their shape.<\/p>\n

When I got home I looked closer at the baked goods description and it literally said it would include donuts. Wish I had been able to pull that up to show them in store but I was frazzled from being admonished by that stupid woman.<\/p>\n

Needless to say I gave them a 1 star rating in the app and explained why. I won’t ever be going inside that Speedway again anyway – it was very dirty and disorganized. Their entire hot food area was completely empty except for some old slices of pizza. No wonder we were the only customers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
