Entitled People That Are On Another Level - Part 4 - REACTION

Best advice i ever heard about giving out money was "Giving money to help someone is a reflection of my character. What they choose to with it is a reflection of their character." Don't help people because you want to feel nice. Do it because it's a nice thing to do.

[@redsampler2017]

enabling is a reflection on someone,s character as well by that logic. everyone has different views on things i guess

[@duhnay]

@@redsampler2017 enabling is KNOWINGLY assisting someone to maintain a bad habit. You don't know what a homeless person is going to do with what you give them. Try giving them some resources to help them while you're at it if you think assisting with basic needs is enabling

[@redsampler2017]

@@duhnay you can look at someones eyes and see what that person is up to. its not that difficult to see if someone is stoned or drunk.. ill just stick to giving food and drinks(basic needs) instead of money. its what actually keeps them alive instead of giving them money they spend on what isn,t going to keep them alive.. but hey keep seeing me as the judging bad guy. ;-) irdgaf like i said : everyone has a different view on things.

[@redsampler2017]

@deflack well i live in the netherlands.. if people want a place too sleep there are multiple(even mandatory when its freezing), there is a lot of help for people who wanna get out of their current existence, getting sober ,getting welfare , foodbanks etc etc. if people ask for money ill ask why. they always say for food so ill give them food , i can,t stand having an empty stomach myself neither. if they would ask for another thing ill decide if i can afford it for them. if they just want the money no answers given im not giving it. at the end of the day i have to live with myself knowing i didn,t support someones ''glue sniffing/cigarette/drugs/alcohol/weed/medicine addictions'' and what other people think of that isn,t my problem, its not that i go around and tell people what they should and shouldn,t give. but know that when you give money to someone whom is clearly ''wasted''on something food isn,t their first priority when it comes to money that has been given to them. and i know that because i see addicted people everyday. lots of people do the same thing. give them food to stay alive is better than giving them money and hoping that they won,t overdose that night..(that is a horrible thought, but those are the thoughts i have when i give clearly addicted people money) and on the point ''failing to understand the concept of giving''?? “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. matthew 6 2-4 and that is all i need to know :-) i wish you all sorts of good.

You know how sometimes Starbucks accidentally makes an extra coffee, or or makes the wrong thing, then they just give it someone? I got that free coffee one day. I took it because I had noticed a homeless guy outside when I was walking into the store. As I walked back out to my car, I looked around for him, then explained how I had gotten the free coffee and asked if he wanted it. It broke my heart when he said he usually doesn’t accept opened food or beverages because people put stuff in them just to mess with homeless people. He did take the coffee from me, saying that from our interaction he didn’t feel like I would try to hurt him, plus he saw me walk in Starbucks and right back out with it. Never has something this awful crossed my mind, but it really doesn’t surprise me. There are some sick fucks in the world.

[@gabrielletoliver7187]

That just made me very sad. I hate to hear that :/

[@franl155]

I'd never have thought of that either; it's not the sort of thing we'd do, so we can't imagine others doing it. But there are some seriously sick people out there, to whom "empathy" isn't a word they've ever heard of. There was a story about a homeless man living in a tent. Some heroes slashed his tent to ribbons, just for laughs. And another story: a homeless man had a puppy - some more heroes thought would be great fun to steal the puppy and throw it into the nearby river. He went in after it and rescued it. That at least had a happy ending: it was on the local news and he got offered a job and housing because of it. Though I'm sure those heroes didn't intend to do him a good turn.

Dudes, my friends died in a car wreck last Aug after they were hit on a mountain freeway by a driver who swerved and survived. The News then interviewed people who were waiting to pass the scene for an hour, they had no idea what caused the crash and kept saying to mic how they just want to get home on a hot day and that people shouldn't drive if they're going to get in a wreck.

Andrew/Andy really struck home for me. Our parents had decided to give all eight of us kids nicknames for our given names because they once had a teacher who refused to use anything other than their students' given names. It seems they had a classmate who had a terribly long & pretentious sounding given name he hated & had to suffer through this teacher for an entire year. So the name my parents gave me is "Randy." When I got to college, I was assigned a student from New Zealand to help with her studies in a class we shared. She asked my name &, when I told her, proceeded to laugh uncontrollably for five minutes. When she was able to compose herself, she said, "No, really, your name is Randall or Randolph." I responded, "No, my parents were really into the 'y" sound," & I proceeded to recite for her all eight of our names. She laughed hysterically for another five minutes before recovering sufficiently to explain, "You have to understand, in New Zealand randy is not a name, it's an adverb. It means 'horny'." Thanks, mom & dad.

@@draconicfeline6177 Yes, as with many things, it's both a word & a name. As a name, it's the shortened or nickname for Randall or Randolph which mean "shield wolf."

That was rude. Parents not at fault. It is a fairly common name and seldom used as that adverb.

When my daughter was little she used to ask me why I cleaned up the table when we were done eating out. I told her that it was the server's job to take our order, bring the meal, and keep the drinks filled....it was NOT their job to clean up the mess we made. She would look at me quizzically and I would tell her that when she got older I would make sure she had a job in the service industry. 3 months into working at Chili's she started to compete with me on who could clean up the table faster and more efficiently after we ate out. It should be a requirement in HS that all kids have to work in the service industry for a semester. Maybe if people learned what it meant to work for tips and got treated horribly, they would learn how to treat other people better.

In South America I found that homeless people were often far more grateful when you bought them meals than they were with straight up cash and coins. The main problem was that even low end food cafes with outside tables wouldn't let them sit and eat at a table, even when was sitting at the table with them eating another purchased meal. So often I would order takeaway and then sit with them and eat our meals together and chat (with my broken Spanish) on the kerb. Although I did find a few places that were cool with it as long as we took an outer edge table when they were not busy.

The whiney mom vs babysitter thing took me back. (Btw, $100 a week for 40 hours is $2.50 an hour.) I was 13 years old and my mom's divorced friend had to take on a graveyard shift at a cannery so I was her live-in nanny for an entire summer. She had 4 kids, the youngest was like 1 and the oldest was 9-10. I worked nearly all day basically playing with the kids while mom slept, she would get up around mid day, shower, do some housekeeping and get dinner prepared. We all ate dinner together, she would spend time with the kids and then head to work. I put the kids to bed wait till they were all asleep and then go to sleep too. I got up when mom came in, I would make breakfast while mom helped kids get ready for the day and then she'd go to bed etc ad infinitum. It was a great job, I loved the mom like she was my aunt and the kids were mostly awesome with a few naughty moments. This was in 1990. I was paid $2.50 an hour for the daytime and $5.00 an hour for night time and that was when min wage for adults was $4.25 an hour in WA state. For context, pre-divorce she was a typical home-maker stay at home housewife and had not had a job since before she married the POS she kicked to the curb. (Physically, and psychologically abusive and actually shot at her with her kids in the next room.) One of the best summers of my childhood. I went back home when she got moved to dayshift and only needed me part time after that but I loved it.

I was so grateful that after spending 10 years having my heart broke watching people die because I went into cancer care and infectious disease that my first aid's patient was only 18 years old and he was dying because his friends bought him a prostitute when he was 16 and she gave him aids and he was dead at 18 his parents only child and I wasn't his nurse I was literally the private duty nurse They hired to sit with him through the night while they slept at home because the hospital didn't want them there with him He was tied to the bed You see AIDS when it first killed was virulent horrible and in the end when they didn't have medications for it to make your life pleasantly ending They went insane and he had to be tied down and us nurses couldn't touch him You had four male orderlies from the psych unit come in and they were the ones that changed him bathed him and changed his bed because if he got a hold of himself he would tear himself apart I came home and I was crying so hard my husband said you know you took all those computer classes and stuff when you were injured in that car accident that year that you needed the rehabilitation. Why don't you work in the doctor's office for a little bit I said okay and I started doing that and then I went on into staffing and moved away from the hospital and got a job in the accounting but after a while I really missed it and I had been giving my husband every year you have to re-up your license and I'd even taken the computing education courses but I had given my husband all the paperwork to mail for me cuz I was really busy I was working 80 hour weeks that was my addiction other people are addicted to candy Coca-Cola cigarettes etc I was addicted to work I always worked 80 hours a week since I was a kid at 13 hours responsible for raising my brother and sister medically taking care of my mother and grandmother and running my parents household basically I had a full-time job at 15 and going to school I didn't know what a childhood was I was an adult and so I was always working I didn't know what rest was so I went to go back to work called the state and asked them to please send me my little license card because I was going to go apply at the hospital where I'd move to and the hospital said they couldn't find my license so I called and they said well you haven't paid for your license in 5 years and I went what. My husband had refused to send in the checks He had not provided my recertification course paperwork either He didn't want me to be a nurse anymore and he saw that I could make the same living doing the accounting with a lot less heartache. This traveling nurse thing where they're making triple what the nurses that live in the area make It's so ridiculous but it's because of the way they change the laws and stuff and it's not fair and the wages haven't gone up with inflation. On top of that laws were enacted and things were changed to make it so that basically nursing has become worse than when it was first created. It's not the respected career that it used to be.

Watering, pulling out weeds, diseases that affect flowers and the subsequent cures the human element must administer, as well as planting them there in the first place. This is a case where, unfortunately, it sounds petty, is petty, but has a logical standing if you're willing to think about it. And also, seriously, couldn't the neighbour share a jar or two?

Oh that babysitting one brought back some memories. I was nannying 2 boys, one with autism, the other with "mommy's perfect angel" syndrome (and he was a instigator towards the autistic one.) She was divorced and the order stated ex husband pay half of her child care needs. I worked 40 hours a week and was paid 200.00 equaling 5.00 hourly. I also brought my daughter with and didn't mind a small subtraction of weekly earnings because of that. About 9 months in I noticed financially I would need to quit or ask for a raise. 300.00 weekly was my plan. Which split was only asking for 50.00 more per week. I constructed a letter for both parents hoping for the best. Kids went on 2 week winter break making my hours about 60 per those weeks still no raise or even holiday bonus. My bonus ended up being fired the day Christmas break ended. I politely wished them good luck and said how undervalued I felt in comparison to state minimum wage and my experience and qualifications for nannying. My next job offered me 550 weekly plus vacation and holidays off.

Former homeless here; the thing is, most cities have soup kitchens and people that give out free food nonstop. What we really needed was a hotel room, some clean clothes, just one good night's sleep... Toothbrushes, toothpaste, mental health visits, etc. (Most ppl that end up homeless struggle with mental illness that is impossible to wrestle with without help). The kindness of strangers and friends got me out of that hole and I'm living a beautiful happy perfect life now but boy was that the worst ten years of my life. Anywho... Just a thought. Park your car a sec. Sit with them. Talk to them about what they really need. Most times I can help them get what they need free. (Sliding scale clinics are free for the homeless, or very little, and I'll give em a lift and help them get their meds for cheap or free) you never know when you're saving a life. I know it seems like a lot at the time but if they're wanting out of it, they can be helped. 🤗 but trust, they've been handed like 20 burgers today already.

about the armrest etiquette: i was flying back home from seeing my boyfriend for labor day weekend (he’s in the marine corps and it a long distance relationship), but i forgot to choose a seat till the day before my flight. they still had a few regular free available seats and i didn’t really care who i sat with since most people fly alone anyway. i chose one that was closer to the front of the plane so i can get off quicker once we landed. once i found my seat i realized i was sitting in between two much older people, i’m only 21. the lady in the window seat was maybe in her late 60’s, and the man in the isle was maybe late 50’s. the man was 100% a sweetheart. ugh, the lady was anything but sweet. i didn’t want to claim the armrests because i was just trying to be respectful to my elders and i thought i would leave it for them, so i really was left with not armrests for me and i was okay with that. i am not big, but i do have wider shoulders compared to most women so this means my arms stick out further. i wasn’t even touching the armrest when this lady tells me to not put my arm on it and that she needs to be able to access it whenever she needs to because it was hers and that my armrest was located to my right in between the older man and me. i looked at her, nodded my head once to let her know i heard her, and looked away. throughout the entire flight she would end up touching my arm, looking at me like it was my fault and wiping away where my skin met hers. going off armrest etiquette: she was just horrible. she would need to get up every hour to use the restroom, meaning the older man and i both had to leave our seats multiple time so she can go. it was a six hour plane ride. she would also pull the people’s seat in front of us back every time she would go. then had the nerve to tell the man behind her who accidentally kicked her seat once to not do it again or that there would be a problem. whenever the pilot made announcements, she would ask me what they said like she couldn’t just listen for herself. when we finally did land she tried shooing me out of my seat so she can get off the plane first telling me that she can’t be seated for too long because it messes up her back. i’m not one to ever speak up about things, but i had enough of this lady already. i told her that she was going to have to wait till everybody in front of us got off first because that’s how it works and that i can’t just shove people out of the way because she wanted to be the first one off. she proceeds to tell me that i don’t understand and that i’m being disrespectful to her. the older man just looks at me and tries to convince me to let her out so we can just get her out of our hair sooner. i did just that. she shoved maybe five people out of her way but couldn’t go further. she told one of the flight attendants that she needs to be the first off because she has a wheelchair waiting for her outside and that she can’t be standing for too long because it hurts her knees.the flight attendant told her exactly what i told her and the older lady tells her off. i don’t understand what made her think she was more important than everyone else, but some people really are just rude and have no respect for other people. i had to continue hearing her yapping all the way to baggage claim.

@@robertthompson7059 WELL SAID! I was a painfully shy kid, I was bullied all through elementary because I was fat, and in the 60s, very few kids were overweight, so I stood out in the worst way. One boy told other kids to hit me as hard as they could, because I'm so fat I won't feel it. They did. Often. In middle school, I was better able to blend in, and I suddenly grew 6 inches in one year. I also had pneumonia twice in middle school, and lost 30 lbs. I was no longer fat, I got the braces off my teeth, and got contact lenses. My mom was so proud of me, she bought me a cute new wardrobe. My favorite was a yellow dress. One day at school, I was wearing that dress while standing near a boy I liked. I was 5'8" in 7th grade, so I was taller than him. I tried to make myself look shorter by hunching downwards, but a teacher said, "Suzanne! Stand up straight! In that yellow dress, you look like a banana!" That cracked up the other kids, and then my best friend said, "Suzanna Banana! Fo-Fanna!" *That was IT.* From that day on, my name was Banana! Most didn't remember me as the fat shy girl they knew in elementary, so starting at the big high school with my new name, gave me license to reinvent myself. I always had a good sense of humor (my family is delightfully wacky), but now as "Banana", I could cut loose and be silly like I was at home! I loved Gilda Radner, and sometimes I mimicked her "Rosanna-Danna" character, but with a twist. I told people I was "Suzanna Banana Fofanna", Rosana Danna's cousin from Texas, and I'd go off on a tangent about noodling catfish, or some other redneck kind of enterprise, for laughs. I took drama classes, and even got to go to NYC for a week with our drama club for our Senior trip. Carol Channing was on our plane, and she was a doll! None of that would have happened to plain ol' former fat girl "Suzanne", but Banana had a great time in high school! I'll be sixty this year, and there are a few friends on Facebook from H.S. who only knew me as Banana, so they still call me that today! I love it. That silly name changed my life and gave me a "do-over". This lady needs to let go of her little boy a bit. I bet she's not once sat down with Andrew and asked him, "What do you like to be called?" I'm guessing "Andy", since it's less formal and therefore a bit less pretentious than "Andrew". If she "hates" the name Andy, then why in the world would she name him Andrew??? Of course people will call him Andy. I'm sure glad I named my son after my favorite uncle. I loved his name, it always sounded manly and outdoorsy to me, so there's absolutely no WAY anyone would ever make fun of his name, right?! It was fine for his first 2 years on earth, then Tom Hank's biggest movie came out, his most iconic role ever, so that it will be etched in our minds forever!

Company that just wants to tell a story or share a meme who doesn't mind if we do other tasks and who's feelings won't be hurt if we decide that we're too tired for this and we need to cut them sort to go to bed. Oh, no. The next morning you call them over and say, "I'm ready. Let's finish this." They pop in immediately and just finish their story to the punchline. No stress company.

The "beggars can't be choosers" story reminds me of a time I experienced that trope. I had gotten $20 out of the ATM for something specific and then ended up not needing to use it (keep in mind I'm not very well off or anything, I work full time and scrape by each month like most Americans). I was driving and there was a panhandler asking for money with her sign saying she's a refugee and has kids so I think to myself, "hey, I ended up not needing this cash for what I thought I did, maybe I was meant to give it to her." I don't think I've ever given a beggar $20. Usually give like $5-10 if I have any cash on me, if I only have a few dollars I'll give them that and (like she said) I'll usually just try to give them food or offer to buy them some food, but I thought "to heck with it, she probably needs it more than I do." I give it to her and she asks if she can tell me something. I assume it's going to be thank you or something about god bless and all that BUT NO! She says "it's hot out here, can I just have $30 more?" I say no because 1) I don't have that and 2) GIVING YOU $50 IS A LOT, $50 would make a significant difference in MY life like no I can't give you that even if I had that cash on me. She proceeds to argue with me saying that I can afford it and I'm like girl no...so ridiculous like...wow. I don't drive a nice car at all btw, I literally have tape on my bumper lol. One of the weirdest experiences I've had recently.

[@amstreater]

I've had some experiences like this, and sometimes I've buckled and gone to the ATM and got more money (because it would not make a material difference to my life) and other times I have turned them down and walked away. You have to remember that in many cases this is their livelihood, it's a matter of whether they get to feed their kid today/this week. It doesn't pay to be polite, and the payoff if you say yes is significant. It's worth the risk of someone getting marginally annoyed with you. It's survival. You might have tape on your bumper but you still have a car. You might not be able to afford to take out $50 from the ATM but you still have a bank account (something not available to people without a fixed address). You might be scraping by but you still have a full time job that gives you regular income (again, something not easy to access for people without a fixed address or with certain immigration statuses). That's not to dismiss your situation but just a reminder that you don't have to be "well off" to have privilege. Thank you for giving what you were able!

@@Bibblesupremacy1992 sometimes homeless people need money for things like hemorrhoid medication or other embarrassing personal needs stuff and it's easier to say "for food" than it is to tell a bunch of strangers you have hemorrhoids.

Also, sometimes they're trying to get enough money to get on a bus and stay at a shelter. There are lots of reasons why money is preferred over food.

I will say it all depends on the homeless person. Growing up in a small town, I feel like there’s a lot less of an issue of drugs, and also it’s the ones who do drugs who tend to ruin it for everyone, and give them such a bad rep. Back when I worked a restaurant in that small town, we had the absolute sweetest, homeless older lady who would come by every once in a while. Everyone knew her, and a lot of people did what they could to take care of her. She only had $4.00 one time, and asked of I could get her whatever that would pay for. I had another gentleman at another table tell me he’d pay for anything she needs. We didn’t take any of the money. I went with my manager through the menu and we made her a few meals of the more non-paritiable items we had. So I had her sitting at a table while she was waiting (she was sitting at one of our outdoor tables). She’d gotten a can of coke at the shop next door at the cheap convenience shop and she asked me to grab her a glass. I assumed she wanted it for her coke, so I ran in and grabbed it. She popped opened the coke can and poured half of it in and then handed it to me, and asked if I’d like to sit with her. I was absolutely floored. This woman, who had NOTHING except the clothes on her back was sharing what little she had with me. She didn’t even have shoes on her feet. I took my break once that happened, and we chatted for a while. She was so sweet and kind, and she still saw so much goodness in life. She had so many health issues, and yet she still saw the positive. I’m crying again right now while I write this. Wherever you are now, Uma, I hope you’re okay.

Ranking them lower than other homeless people because of something that is 90% circumstantial, as with homelessness itself, is just classism in the most dangerously vile way. Even worse that this came from someone who used to be homeless because clearly he thinks he's better than the ones who got there due to drugs and not "circumstances" as if drugs are not part of them. Please, tell your boyfriend, and the part of you that listened to him, to reevaluate your standards. Because I cannot believe yall thought you were choosing the "good homeless" to donate to, the ones that are able to be taken by shelters.

@@Cloudipy truth. Living in Colorado, you do see people in t-shirts and shorts with 5 ft of snow and sadly in Colorado Springs, I've witnessed homeless both almost & actually freeze to death. (I called 911 and tried to help but it was too late. I'd also had this person over for dinner & a shower so I kinda knew him. But the death toll is much higher than you could imagine there. People really do avert eyes and pretend they couldn't hear cries for help....)

Wow! That lady wouldn't actually have any flowers without the bees. She should be thanking him.

[@llamasugar5478]

In my experience, “No disrespect, but . . .” always precedes something disrespectful. Bees have to visit about 1,000,000 flowers to make a teaspoon of honey. So they’re entitled to roughly #getstuffed.

I once read that a bee in it's entire life can only collect as much pollen for 0.12% of a teaspoon of honey😱 they are so diligent and thanks to them we have food. Made me really sad

Lmao the bee one really got me!! The beekeeper is the one that should be suing the neighbor because she isn't paying the bees for pollinating her flowers! 😂 It honestly blows my mind that people are really like this, I definitely got some second hand embarrassment from how these people acted.

[@stevehilton6864]

In some weird sort of way, the neighbor with the flowers actually has a point. Sure, the bees are doing what they normally do . .. but the beekeeper IS making a profit off of the flowers on the neighbors property. It kinda makes sense to me . . . and if I were the beekeeper, I think that I would actually feel some sense of obligation. I probably wouldn't pay money, but a free jar of honey every now and then might be nice.

I try to be nice too to the homeless, but sometimes there are people who are hard to sympathize with. In college, there were homeless people who would come to campus and beg students for money. I had friends who would actually give them cash. One time my friend ran back to the dorm and came back with $20 while I waited with the homeless outside. Anyways, one time, I left the library around 9pm to go to the dining hall for a late snack (one of the dining hall was open until midnight). There was a homeless person right outside the library and asked for money for food. Since I left all my stuff inside the library and only had my student ID, I said I can get her something from the dining hall since they have several options. However she insisted on cash since she wanted to eat Thai food at this specific restaurant. I said I’m sorry but I don’t have any money on me, but she continued to insist and said “I really don’t want to be asking students for money and really hate that I have to do this, but I really need the money to eat Thai food that I need to take the bus with”. I honestly have never met a homeless person who was that entitled. After eating my late meal, I left the dining hall to go back to the library to see her still begging other students leaving the library. It definitely hurts seeing that, but if you are not accepting perfectly acceptable meal options from a student, then it is hard to sympathize. Of course, I have encountered people who have accepted food although it wasn’t much, and I wish I could’ve done more for them.

About the whole giving homeless people money thing. Something I started doing a few years ago is going to Dollar Tree and getting a drawstring backpack and a bunch of essentials to put in it and giving these out to homeless people. I usually buy enough to make about 5 at a time so I know I'm never without one. I fill them with things like hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes, tissues, ibuprofen or Tylenol in case they have arthritis or get sick and need to reduce a fever, gloves if it's cold out, a rain poncho, one of those shiny thermal blankets if I can find them, a toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant, lotion, castile soap, a few bottles of water, and some snacks. Each one costs about $15 and it's all things that everyone needs to have a better chance of surviving without shelter.

[@katematthews1771]

You are such a good person! I'm still only thirteen but I've wanted for a while to have an adulthood like this, just going around and helping people

[@karleyjojo]

@@katematthews1771 it's definitely worth doing if you have some extra cash. You could bring it up to your parents too and see if it's something they might want to do. You don't necessarily have to seek out homeless people to do it either. Just keep one or two packs in your car so if you happen to see someone in need at a stop light or outside of Walmart or something you have one ready to give. ❤️

[@sxthconcreterose]

Thank you for this! I live in seattle and have the same idea, but wasnt sure what exactly to put in a kit and the cost.. you wrote a great list of items and im gonna try it out.

[@karleyjojo]

@@sxthconcreterose It took me a while to really understand what the essentials are. I actually started asking what they needed the most and that's how I came up with everything on the list. Another thing that I forgot to add is socks and a beanie if it's cold outside! I mentioned gloves, but even just one or two pairs of socks and a cheap beanie is enough to help keep them from hypothermia, depending on what winters are like for your area. I live in North Carolina, so our winters aren't usually very harsh. We rarely get more than an inch or 2 of snow, but the temperature can dip below freezing at night. Luckily there are a few churches that house the homeless during the winter months and some shelters as well. But for many people it's difficult for them to actually get there, so it's important that they have at least a chance of surviving without shelter during the night.

[@TaylorJessicahArts]

The thing is they may actually need cash .. Those things don't pay bills

[@Moonbovine]

“I feel like everyone should work in the service industry so they can get an understanding” YES! THIS IS SO TRUE! I worked in a restaurant and let me tell you, CUSTOMERS ARE SO RUDE and Entitled it’s insane. I agree that everyone, EVERYONE should work in fast food/customer service to really see how ungrateful everyone really is. Maybe this will help us improve our attitudes 😭

[@turtleena3280]

So true--I worked at a grocery store for 9 years & have had MANY similar experiences. My boyfriend & I go out to eat once a week to local family owned/operated restaurants, and this last week it was super busy. The waitress apologized a few times for things like taking so long to get to us & we told her to take her time, we're in no hurry. Before we leave our table, I also take the time to stack up our dishes, silverware, cups, and paper items in a way that makes it quicker/easier to clean the table--something my mom has done for years when we eat out.

[@lightstep1433]

Ya, I used to work at a pizza place near my house and some customers were nice, others were just RUDE. I had a guy ask for a large pizza with 5 different toppings but have it cost the same as a pizza with 3. The way we did things was that a pizza with 3 toppings or less cost a certain amount, the more toppings you added beyond 3 was about a dollar extra.

[@connor2500]

To be fair, you REALLY do not need to work in the service industry to figure this out. Pay actual attention to your surroundings.

[@echo.echo08]

By instinct, I always reach out for my wallet even on first dates because I tend to order whatever I want and sometimes they're pricey. If my date insists to cover for me, very much appreciated. If not, no big deal. I'm fed and satisfied whether I spent my own money or not. I don't understand why it's a deal-breaker for some. Charlotte's right, it must be a cultural thing.

[@Jessica.8669]

I do the same lol

[@agood1]

On a first date people should get their own bill for their own orders... No matter what. This would help weed out the priveledged users, just using people for free meals.

[@victorialevy7797]

I understand the opposite end of the culture thing, my boyfriend is from Asia and he was so unsure of what was going on the first time we ate out and I tried to split the bill (at a frickin IHOP lmao). He was like “uhhhh are you sure? Are you really sure? I CAN pay for this do you think I don’t have the money or something?” Because I guess that’s how the logic worked out in his mind??? Eventually we came up with a system where he’d pay for meals and I’d pay for Uber’s 😂

But it doesn't stop me from giving.

[@RJelly-fi6hd]

Unfortunately, it has stopped me from giving. Now I "judge" them first. If I see them using a cell phone, smoking cigarettes, or dressed in nice clothes I don't give money. In my mind, if they can afford modern conveniences, a bad smoking habit, or Nike brand shoes they don't need my money!

[@amstreater]

@@RJelly-fi6hd How nice that you can see these things as "modern conveniences". For many homeless people they are a lifeline to social support and information services (phone), an addiction or a way to curb hunger pangs (cigarettes), a way to stay warm/dry and protect their skin from the elements (clothing). It's also worth remembering that we are all one unfortunate event away from becoming homeless, and there are many forms of homelessness (you might be crashing on someone's couch, in a temporary shelter, in an abusive or unsafe home, etc). You don't suddenly lose all your worldly possessions when you become homeless. It's not like you have to hand in your phone and all your clothes on Day 1.

The small business and large table one made me think of the time my husband and I were out on a date and the table next to us was yelling at the waitress and telling her she sucked at her job. They didn't tip and complained about her. She was nothing but kind to them and brought everything out as quick as possible. Right in front of them we tipped her for their order and ours and told her to have a great night (she had her section of tables and had to split a section for one girl who quit in them middle of the shift.) and that she did an awesome job. The family tried to complain about us too 😂
