‘Overworked and underpaid': Alleged Kroger staffer speaks out on botched Juneteenth cakes controversy
Kroger is facing sharp criticism after a viral TikTok video exposed a display of sloppily decorated Juneteenth cakes at one of its Georgia locations. The cakes, meant to commemorate a holiday that holds deep significance in Black communities, featured phrases like 'FREE @ Last' and 'June 19 FREE' in what many called a tone-deaf and careless presentation. The backlash has sparked conversations about corporate sensitivity and respect for cultural observances. Also Read: Kroger under fire for 'Lazy' Juneteenth cakes: Watch Following the incident, a self-identified Kroger employee spoke out about the issue on Reddit. The alleged employee wrote, 'Apparently a Kroger here in Georgia is getting some heat because of crappy cake designs for Junteenth.' Sharing their two cents on the matter, they wrote, 'I'm a bit mixed on this. As a Kroger employee I understand that people here are overworked and underpaid like crazy. However, admittedly these cake are not the best looking and def could've been made better.' The Redditor claiming to be a Kroger employee added, 'Though frankly the lady in this video sounds entitled as f*** so I don't have much sympathy for her in particular. Wanted to see what the community thought.' Along with the post, they also shared the link to the Instagram video showing the viral incident that made headlines in the first place. Check the Reddit post here. Kroger also issued a damage control statement following the incident. A spokesperson told Newsweek, 'The cakes and cookies that were featured in the video were inconsistent with our provided guidance and not of the quality we would expect to see from our stores. The products have been removed, and we've addressed this directly with the store teams and the customer who took the initial video.' Also Read: Monthly social security checks could be cut by this year if Congress doesn't act A reddit user wrote, 'I churned out some seriously ugly Father's day stuff in the last 15 minutes of my shift on Sat-- everything we'd made had sold and we needed to fill the hole. It was better than this Juneteenth stuff, but then I'm capable of doing good work if I have the time. Yeah, it was probably someone with minimal training and not much time, doing their best.' A second user wrote, 'If people want a GOOD QUALITY CAKE, go to a real bakery shop. Not a friggin' supermarket. Same rule applies for flowers. If you want a bouquet of flowers to really blow your girlfriend /wife away, go to a florist. Don't try to cheap out by looking for a bargain at your local grocery store.' Another user wrote, 'Bad cookie cakes always get a laugh out of me. You'll see them a lot if you actually pay attention to that sort of thing. They're cheaper than real cakes, so stores will have anyone throw something on there just to get them out, while the actual cake decorator (if they even have one) works on customer orders. These were clearly made by someone with no experience and no direction on what to actually put on there, and probably no fucks left to give.' While one user wrote, 'Bro those cakes deserve to get clowned on. 'FREE @ LAST' is so fucking funny. And then just 'FREE''

'Lived In UK, But Never Forgot Their Roots': Surat Mourns Death Of Couple, 4-Year-Old Kid In Air India Crash
Hundreds gathered at Hasanji Kabristan in Haripura for the last rites of Aqeel Nanabava, his wife Hanna Voraji, and their daughter Sara, who died in an Air India crash The city that slept silently on Tuesday night stirred to an extraordinary moment of mourning as hundreds gathered outside Hasanji Kabristan in Haripura at 1:30 am. The occasion was tragic – the last rites of Aqeel Nanabava, his wife Hanna Voraji, and their four-year-old daughter Sara, who lost their lives in the Air India plane crash on June 12. The family, though settled in the UK for decades, had deep roots in Surat's Bohra community and were brought home for their final journey. Despite being a British citizen, Aqeel's family had long been woven into Surat's social and spiritual fabric through their charitable work, property holdings, and generations of community presence. The outpouring of grief reflected not just the shock of their untimely death, but the emotional bond the city still shared with them. In the crowd stood Abdullah Nanabava, a father hollowed by loss. He had just celebrated Eid al-Adha with his son's family days prior to the tragic crash. 'What words are left now?" he said, barely audible, adding that he had dropped them at Ahmedabad airport himself as they were flying to London. The crash came barely a day after Father's Day. 'In the morning, I was a father. By evening, I was not," he said to a close family friend. Aqeel, Hanna, and little Sara had come to Surat for a short Eid holiday for just six days. It was meant to be a joyful visit, and by all accounts, it was. 'They brought us happiness like a festival," said Abdullah, 'Now, that joy is my memory." As the ' namaz-e-janaza ' (funeral prayer) was held, a sea of mourners – relatives, local clerics, activists, and neighbours – filled the street. The quiet dignity of the crowd reflected the deep respect Aqeel's family commanded. Though Aqeel was raised abroad, those who met him described him as warm, soft-spoken, and always connected to his roots. 'He never forgot Surat," said an old classmate of his father, adding that even when his accent changed, his humility did not. The Nanabava family had made Gloucester, UK, their home. Abdullah had returned to Surat nearly 15 years ago, but his wife and four sons continued to live in England. The family remained close despite the geography – the sons visiting Surat regularly, especially on religious occasions. Aqeel's younger brother, Hamza, and mother Sajida had flown in from London upon hearing the news. It was in their presence that Aqeel and Hanna were buried side by side, just after 2 am. Yet, not everything about the burial followed tradition. The Islamic practice of ghusl (ritual washing of the body) could not be performed due to procedural constraints after the crash. For many, especially close friends like Rashid, the absence of this sacred step left a void. 'It felt like something vital was missing," Rashid said. The soul was gone, but the goodbye was incomplete, he added. Later that day, another call came – this time from Ahmedabad. The remains of four-year-old Sara had been positively identified. In the evening, her tiny body too was brought to Hasanji Kabristan. The prayer was offered once more, the earth was turned once more; this time for the youngest among them. She was buried just beside her parents. Three members of one family – a mother, a father, and a child – now rest in the same city they once came to celebrate Eid in.
