What an absolutely tremendous dick.

Desperation mode activated.

My hourly is so bad on those "hierarchy" ones I might as well just grind surveys.

I did, back when I was homeless and doing the change thing and things got pretty desperate. Most places stated that doing so "would be a liability" which is laughable, because they could have sold me the same food. I also had to wait until the office closed at the storage unit I was renting (and secretly sleeping in) so I could sneak out, so a lot of places were already closed.

McDonald's will always be my hero for that period of time in my life. One night, in desperation, I jumped on the sensor at the menu board until it registered that I was there. They took my order, and when I got to the window they almost turned me away. I insisted that I was in a car, and was a time traveler from the future who was driving an invisible car. I did it in a way where it was clear that I wasn't serious, but was seriously hungry, and made them laugh to boot. We shared a real moment where it came out that I was homeless. They told me that they couldn't give me the food in the window because of cameras, but to go up to the door. The manager came out with two bags full of food despite me having ordered/paid for two $1 McChickens and a large drink. I hugged the crap out of him, then snuck back into the storage place and ate like a king. From there on out, they were cool about me driving my "invisible car" into the drive-thru (in moderation) and always threw some extras in. Luckily I was couch-surfing at a friend's house after about a month, so it didn't happen often/long enough for any issues.

Just in case I need a disclaimer: I know it's illegal to sleep in a storage unit. I was a paying customer and basically non-existent there except to sleep on my bags of clothes, and used my phone for light rather than candles or electricity. It was a really bitter late Autumn/early Winter, so it was better than freezing in the streets.

Not exactly on topic but, I bet you kill all the writing hits

When I worked at Noble Romans my manager would pour cokes on the food that we had to throw away so the homeless people wouldn't take it. He was such a dick.

That really is a dick move..screw that guy.

I don't understand. they give away change after they close?

edit: oh I see. people must drop it on the ground when paying.

LOL You edited before I could respond, but yeah...a lot of people don't care about the coins they drop when handing money over. When you're broke as a joke, scrounging those up can mean anywhere from $5-15. (Offer not valid at Chick-Fil-A.)

No judgment here urpleheart: Shit happens and sometimes we gotta do what we gotta do. Glad you're not sleeping there anymore *huggles*

you're a fighter! glad you never gave up. Hope nothing but the best going forward.

Thankies, guys. The good news is that it's all going to make one hell of a book some day.

People like that break my heart :brokenheart:

Like, I do understand that the rules are there for a reason. like it technically could be dangerous for someone to eat a sandwich that had been sitting under the heat lamp for longer than the rules say. But people can just look the other way once the food is outside, I don't know why it matters that someone might dig through the trash to get food.

Haha, if they pay enough and I'm in the mood, then yes.

A box of Dr. Pepper syrup exploded on him the day I quit. I like to pretend someone sabotaged the machine to spite him.

And imagine if we were able to take it one small step past apathy and made sure our 'waste' food made into the right hands.

But I'm a dreamer.
