SBD has brought down the kashrus standards at ALLE/MEALMART

 That's why others have opted out of using ALLE / MEALMART if SBD emblem is on the package.

His name is pronounced Hatch Well that rhymes with the cholov akum line of cookies called Snack Well. Don't forget that Hatchouel was involved with the Rubashkin stunt of placing fleish concessions inside Brooklyn supermarkets in the 1990s into the new century. Rabbonim kept complaining that the arrangement makes them nervous. They didn't mean it at the time against Rubashkin personally just that if anyone has a za set up there is room for possible abuses. The general hashgochos would farentfer at each grumbling interval, as if that settles it, that Sholom Mordechai & his father (remember the alter clown who famously said that Agri never even hurt a ketzela?) are taking "personal achrayus" for the concessions. The grumblings grew louder so they put some hashgochos nominally in charge of them that included Hatchuel on supermarkets from Kings Hwy to the Aves south. Rabbonim royim es hanoilad were still not satisfied. When the YSV aka Moish Finkel affair blew up, that gave them the ammunition to finally put the kibosh on this widespread Rubashkin shenanigan. But Rubashkin is an ever adaptive chevra mahn so he just switched gears to start the new generation of the stunt with label printers in the back of mysterious trucks with 100+ corporate DBAs on the invoices

And "mysterious" those trucks were! They never had identifiers on them. And their biggest "advocate" was Rabbeinu Chaim Schwartz strongarming the chazirei they transported into Queens Vaad gesheften. Like in the rest of his illustrious career there must have been some pretty decent bakshish for his trouble to pad THAT LIVING WAGE!

It sounds like this site runs in Bakshish.
The post generally say some is taking Bakshish or some is not taking Bakshish
But Bakshish is what runs this place.
Of course Reb Yudel never does or accepts or demands blackish. At least according to this blind site.
