“Entourage” star Adrian Grenier was kicked out of his food cooperative in Brooklyn, N.Y., for failing to work his required shift, The Daily reported Wednesday.
The Park Slope Food Co-op, a notoriously rule-obsessed organic food emporium, requires all participants to work “two hours and 45 minutes once every four weeks,” according to its website.
“At this rate, every member works 13 times per calendar year,” the website added.
But an insider revealed Grenier, 35, had not shown for his scheduled shift and “now he can’t shop there anymore.”
A member who answered the co-op’s phone Tuesday refused to talk about Grenier.
But in 2009, Grenier sang to a different tune, telling New York Magazine that he was diligently pulling his weight to support the effort.
“The reason why I’m part of the co-op is that I don’t get special treatment,” he said in October 2009. “Everyone contributes. It’s a relaxed, sensible sharing of work that needs to get done.”
He did say that he had to double up on shifts some months because he lives in Los Angeles for part of the year.
“I do it because of the sense of community. And I believe that effort and contribution toward something communal is healthy for somebody’s psyche,” he added.
