Agreed, this has always been what I go by. However, one time a homeless lady asked me for some money. I told her "I don't have cash to give, but I can get you a sandwich from the store there?". Her response: "I don't want a sandwich, I want cash". I told her: "Well, I don't have cash with me to give. Sorry". Then she had the audacity to say: "There's a cash machine right around the corner, you could just grab me a ten or something?"

It disgusts me how apathetic people are nowadays. I remember when I was 18 years old, I saw a homeless guy, probably no older than 20, sleeping under a bench in front of a Vons. He had a dog with him who was just huddled up next to him. Going into the store with my mom, all I could think of was that poor kid. I imagined myself in his shoes, and it hurt just thinking about it. After shopping for a few minutes with my mom, I told her I’d be back. I bought him some food that wouldn’t spoil (A large box of Ritz crackers and a 1 gallon jug of water). I went outside, and because I didn’t want to wake him, I just sat it down next to him and looked at him for a few seconds wishing I could help more. I pet his dog for a moment (a super mellow dog), then I got up and turned around to go back in the store. There were these two girls walking by, looking at me in disgust, as if I pulled my crotch out or something. I didn’t say anything to them, but I walked away very irritated by those girls. I can only hope that boy has managed to get his footing in life, and I hope those girls turn those views of theirs around.

I’ve had people tell me they’re hungry or want food, and when I offer to buy food or offer them my meal, they argue for me to give them money, not actually the food. When a homeless person asks for food and accepts food, those are the ones I’m happy to help.

there's a growing trend of people giving drugged/poisoned and contaminated food to the homeless as pranks or worse yet as means of kidnapping and trafficking them. it only makes sense to be wary when you're literally all alone in the world. I won't tell you how to spend your money but know that the average homeless person isn't trying to scam you, just buy something other than food (i.e. clothing, bus fare, shoes, and unfortunately sometimes drugs/alcohol)

@@limmiedee7405 I was purchasing the food in front of them from a regular food vendor, so that wouldn’t be the reason in this case. If they want clothes or something, then they should ask for that, and not for food then want the money instead. One homeless woman would ask me for bus tickets sometimes. I bought her a meal before too. We walk together to Subway, and talked along the way. She was a drug addict, but I knew the money was being used on food and transportation (she’d sometimes ride the bus to her daughter’s home in the winter to stay there), and not using cash on drugs. She was honest. Someone who stands next to a hotdog stand and asks me to buy her a hotdog, but doesn’t want me to stand in line and order it, just give her the money, that’s not honest, and she’s not trying to get a hotdog.

You can't tell anymore who appreciates these gestures and who's only in it for the drugs/booze. That's why I don't feel comfortable giving anything at all. I'm struggling with money myself.

I never have cash on me, just card, so when I tell someone I can't help them with the bus fare or something, they actually get pissed with me. One homeless woman actually asked me for money, and when I said I didn't have any, she told me there was an ATM machine and I could draw some there. Like nah, stop this already 💀 That kind of desperation is not for food, it's only for drugs.

No she is actually breaking the law. It is illegal in most places to buy food for the homeless. Her and the cop may not know the law, but it is illegal in Georgia to give food to the homeless without a permit, and has been for decades. To give homeless people food you must have a permit. Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law. How does the news station not know this is a law? Not only is it illegal for people to give food to the homeless, it is illegal for restaurants to sell to people they know are going to give it to the homeless, and can cause them to be heavily fined. The worker clearly knows that, which is why she refused to sell to her. Sure they are trying to paint it like she is some kind of hero, and they are simply ignoring the fact that it is against the law for the restaurant to sell food to her. I remember this was a huge issue just a few years back when the Democrat mayor demanded that the police start enforcing the law about giving food to homeless people, because it was causing homeless people to loiter at restaurants, and was causing crimes to happen because homeless people were assaulting people that did not buy them food.

My city also does NOT CATER to drug-addicts nor supply their drug paraphernalia. Even pan-handling has been virtually eradicated.

If the homeless guy received the food, then they have to let him in to get refills, etc. And then he can ask to use the bathroom and take a shower inside. I've owned a fast food restaurant and have had a homeless man sneak in and wash up. Until you have to clean off a month's worth of sour sweat stench water from a public bathroom, you have no right to just pity the homeless with your high horse attitude and drop some money then take off, unless you're willing to stay behind and help the employees mop up sour sweat water from the bathroom floor afterwards. All these good deed thinking people can't look far enough to see their "noble" actions have consequences for others also.

Common sense is some customers would not want homeless people going up to them asking for food/money and it can drive away business. I worked at a gas station where real and fake homeless people would be asking all the customers for money. Some of them that was literally their job to con people. Most of them did not ask for food but even some who did it was a con since they were not homeless. I feel sympathy to real homeless or even someone who is down on their luck who isnt who seriously just wants food. Letting homeless stay on or near some businesses can invite a ton of problems. It is a sad situation that the real homeless who are respectful get grouped in with the others.

Furthermore just to bring my point home I've been a part of a couple dozen incidents of people advertising a "Will work for food" attitude and/or sign and simply stealing everything from a person once brought on to help. I've personally seen thousands of dollars of construction tools, thousands of dollars of jewelry and cash, and multiple vehicles, including a pet, stolen by people saying they would "work for food".

Chick-fil-A is much better anyways.
Good for this woman. She's absolutely right having empathy and compassion for others. Ppl look down on them and you never really know what that person has been through.

If the woman denying the man food becomes homeless one day I hope someone shows her compassion & empathy . Nobody chooses to be homeless

@@moussegarbonzo8352 I never said that it's wrong because I had a bad experience. I said because of the experience that I had II personally will never help a homeless person. But don't come to me when they attack you.

@@1990758 Attack me? I’m a New Yorker. I’ve never been attacked by a homeless person in my life. I’ve been attacked by people who have homes a few times. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but I am saying that any and everything human being is capable of violent behavior. Being homeless does not make a person any more likely to be violent than a non-homeless person. You are stereotyping based on one bad personal experience. If you are afraid to help homeless people in the future, I recommend you fear those who have homes as well.
Thank goodness for people like her.
Thank you mam.
