HelloFresh warehouse workers in Newark filed lawsuit alleging discrimination, harassment, forced labor
HelloFresh warehouse workers in Newark filed a class-action lawsuit alleging discrimination, harassment, and forced labor. The lawsuit claims HelloFresh managers and supervisors threatening violence, using racial slurs, denying bathroom access, and threatening to call U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement against Latine and immigrant workers.

A new restaurant blew my mind
I've had some hot takes that've gotten me backlash in the past; not liking Thanksgiving food (it's boring), thoroughly loving Chuck E. Cheese stuffed crust (not sure how anyone couldn't), preferring cinnamon Pop-Tarts to strawberry (the flavor you love is blueberry, trust me. Strawberry is muted) — but I'm about to drop a bomb. For years, I've kept this under wraps. Garden Staters get heated over food, and the debate wasn't one I was willing to spark, because, even if I made a perfectly reasonable case, I'd still receive emails saying my mom "should've chosen Plan B" (yes, that's happened).
