Campbell’s Soup VP mocks ‘poor people’ who buy its food in secret recording
www.newsweek.com
Lawsuit alleges Campbell’s fired worker who reported a VP’s recorded rant belittling customers and making discriminatory remarks.

The complaint, Garza v. Campbell Soup Company, case number 25-018465-CD, was filed on November 20, 2025, by the Runyan Law Group on behalf of plaintiff Robert Garza. The defendants are Campbell Soup Company and supervisor J.D. Aupperle.

The claims—centered on a secretly recorded tirade in which a senior vice president allegedly mocked the company’s products, its customers, and Indian employees—challenge the credibility of Campbell’s public values and highlight broader concerns about how corporations handle discrimination complaints.

    Fucking. Hell.

    1. Don’t mock people who are trying their hardest to make a living.
    2. Well off people also buy your food.
    3. The stock market is bad enough as it is. Stop saying shit that will tank it further.

        Fucking A. If nothing else works out, I’ll open a restaurant serving only soup and call it “Stock Market”. Thanks!

        If that works out, open also a spinoff Bar called “Stonks”

        Stock market as in stock market. The economy is shit and stock prices are down across the board while the cost of literally everything except Arizona Tea and Costco hotdogs are soaring. Soup prices, like all foodstuffs, are severely overinflated, but that is not specific to Campbells.

        Your company is already down. Don’t do stuff to make it worse.
