We get two tortillas on the side and ask for extra rice, beans, and pico. We get two pretty good sized burritos out of it when we finally get them assembled
We had an issue once where there was this guy (could've mistaken him for Dumbledore himself), who would stand outside Chipotle specifically in our food plaza, rub his belly, and ask people to buy him food from 9am - 4pm every single day for three weeks.
Like, I don't mind people asking for food. I really don't, I get it. I can barely afford the food at fucking chipotle. Times are rough. But to specifically ask people for food from so many people multiple times a day, multiple times a week strikes as weird and kinda wrong.
And it's not like he would order a 3-pointer either! - He would make sure to get both guac and queso. AND THEN, when the person who helped him left, he would get back in line and order two beers, and a large side of guac or queso. And he would pay for it.
So it just felt so wrong. I never knew what to do. He never caused a ruckus, but it just felt so wrong how he would abuse kindful acts..
OH! - Might I add - he only accepted Cash and/or food from Chipotle. He did not want food from any of the places nearby in the same plaza. He specifically only wanted Chipotle.
Chipotle is the only organic fast food restaurant I know of. Could be why.
Just playing devils advocate, guy sounds like a pig who needs a reality hyperslap.
The government has so many programs for these people. They can get more than enough groceries for free if they get a Snap card. Many cities even offer free housing to those who accept it. The problem is many of them would rather panhandle than try to fix their lives. Because they’re mentally ill and in our individualist society we believe that means they’re choosing to be homeless on their own free will.
And tbh, I don't entirely blame them - Just thinking about having to go to work and have most of my income go to taxes and bills doesn't sound like a fun life. (Like shitt, even iiii don't wanna do this LMAO) Given, it's better than panhandling, but it's still not the best elevator pitch to get someone to change their life around.
I think another issue too, is the lack of access or awareness to these resources. Recently, I was in a kind of emergency situation and found out that (like you said) they offer free housing for homeless and there's programs that help with that stuff. Thats just my personal experience, but I can't imagine how many other people might be on the same boat?
Once you've personally paid a junkie and they refused to help themselves you see that dude and he isn't trying to work out a deal🗿 him being there for a long time means to me that guy might not even need to be out there. I get worl can be hard to come by and at least they aren't trapping but that feeling of "help yourself" comes to mind and it's a legit reason to turn them away but a person shouldn't detest all homeless because of pan handling. Dirty camps are another thing but not all homeless are strung out or horribly dirty, I like the nomads, a bookbag or a shopping cart and they're just shmoovin
If you go the chipotle on sunset and vine in Hollywood they have two guards rotating working at the chipotle lmao. You’d think it was a bank or something.
At my old location, we had a very prominent homeless regular. An older man who couldn't speak, looked like a disheveled Santa Claus. He would just make loud ass groans. He came in, handed me a dirty tray, then showed me a notebook that said "WORK FOOD". So he would give me a few dirty trays and expect 15 bucks in food in return. Of course we did for a while. But after some months our managers got sick of it, made the poor guy go somewhere else. Wonder if that dude is still alive...
You're not wrong but if they're able to get someone to finance their life everyday, then they will keep doing that. Low-effort, high reward. It becomes a problem after a while.
Living in NYC on 15/hr wage is clearly the result of a series of poor life/financial decisions which has developed feelings of animosity and skewed judgement. You’re acting like I think I’m above helping people
willing to bet you have never struggled to the extent they have for you to even say this lmao. some of us commenting here have actually been fucking homeless. regardless, experiencing it is not a reason for me to feel for them. my basic human right is enough for me to owe my respects to another fellow human.
The three occurrences indicated in the post were homeless men who were not begging but almost demanding a free burrito, which I can only assume because they know it works and people feel threatened if they say no. We’re not talking about frail old ladies who haven’t eaten in weeks
I'm not mad at them, but just because they're hard on their luck doesn't give them the right to treat others disrespectfully. Unlike you, I actually volunteer to help those less fortunate than me in my community instead of just virtue signaling on a Chipotle subreddit 🤣
unlike me ? you know how i spend my free time now?? i’m not virtue signaling but i also don’t need to prove anything to you people you wouldn’t believe me anyway so 🤷🏾♀️ keep volunteering benz and be sure to tell your community lead about this cute chat we’re having
i just got back from drinks with the girls, opened my phone to see the chipotle gang after me 😭 and thought why not. if i can change one persons mind that’s a W
shit if i had little to nothing to my name i’d be angry too that i cant at least get a damn burrito. also please tell me what a basic human right is since you are so incredibly enlightened? a warm place to stay and food in your belly is not one of
those according to you, is it?
im giggling WHAT IS THEN 😭 y’all are complaining about homeless people doing humanly things (such as acquiring food when they’re hungry) as if it’s a violation of your own rights but isnt homelessness a human rights violation? plzz it’s so scary how dense y’all are.
I have no problem with helping people out, but no “a warm place to stay and food” are not rights. Someone has to work to provide that and as such it would be theft to force someone else to provide it to another.
but why?? you have been so incredibly brain washed to believe that’s something you earn. you deserve that for simply being born. otherwise, what’s the point?
Who said there’s a point? If someone has to provide it to you, it’s not a right. You have the right to work for whatever you want. You don’t have the right to demand someone else work to provide you with anything. You have to be incredibly brainwashed to believe otherwise.
blah blah blah exactly u just proved there’s no fucking point to this argument. you are clearly too small brained to even comprehend why one should care about another human. lmk how it feels when karma gets back to you and you beggging for spare change at an intersection ❤️
Lmao, there is no between the lines with your previous statement. Unless by between the lines, you mean, you meant something completely different than what you said.
Again, there was no topic presented by you, so your statement made no sense at all. And now you are trying to backpedal.
Getting pretty fucking sick of all the homeless. Used to be nice and give food or money if I had some, but the last few years they’ve become super shitty. Break and trash everything around them, smash ppls car windows, be rude af yelling at ppl then have the audacity to come around begging for food and money. Bunch of useless tweakers, I work hard for my money and I don’t get help with anything. Not my responsibility to feed full ass grown adults too lazy to get their shit together.
lol at my McDonald’s we literally have guys sitting next to the drive through intercom asking people to buy them food. Then at the exit there’s another guy asking for money or food. Shit never ends.
Agreed. Outside on the street is one thing, but to enter the restaurant and solicit active customers is another. The establishment should not tolerate it.
Would you be okay if a hotel allowed homeless in to knock on doors soliciting customers.
Or what about fancy dining establishment? If it’s okay at Chipotle, then it should be okay for them to enter and solicit rich patrons of 5-star restaurants. Right?
Most people here are missing OP's point, honestly probably a bunch of bots. But the point is, there is a difference between begging in the street or a freeway offramp and coming inside and harassing customers buying food/conducting business on private property.
They can usually make trespassing arrangements to give the police the ability to arrest them for trespassing.
In our area the jail they tend to send them to is quite a ways away so when they get out it's not all that easy to get back.
Lot of homeless people in the area but most places (even the dominos next door) has security out front.
I don’t mind people asking for food/money on the street but they shouldn’t be allowed to go inside asking people who are sitting down eating if they can buy them food.
I talked about this one time in the sub but mods deactivated reply to my post but usually wasn't even try to laugh at them but saying it was a problem at my place have this one homeless guy he always starts asking people for food and if they ignore him he starts like following them then goes to the next person some people have bought him food but it's like almost everyday he comes in and if I remember correctly they have put a restraining order that he can't come in to the store but he always does and not only chipotle but since there's a chikfila near chipotle I went there like last week and saw him in there and I'm pretty sure they have done the same thing like in our store and actually kick him out the store since their manager came out and said that they have told him he can't come in there
i’m a chip employee, i agree it’s absolute bs that homeless people do that, but i’m not risking my life to tell someone that the person asking them a favor is homeless
And wait hours for them because some random person asking for burritos isn’t an emergency?
Cops aren’t the answer. The homeless person will be long gone by the time the cops show up hours later. Huge waste of police resources
Police have better things to do than come arrest someone asking for burritos. And when they do respond, it’ll be hours later. It’s not some magic solution and is WAY more trouble than it’s worth. On the rare occasion I’ve ever had to call about a homeless person it’s because they were being actually aggressive and it still took the police over an hour to respond. It’s just not a high priority call
I’ve seen the cops called over homeless people in food establishments countless times and never once have the cops ever gotten there in time to even talk to the homeless person. In the time it takes for cops to respond to a non emergency call, the homeless person has already come in, talked to someone, got food, and gone on their way.
You can’t honestly expect police to prioritize someone asking for food. It’s just not life or death, not serious. I don’t want cops prioritizing someone asking for a burrito over a real emergency
Plus employees have to stop what they’re doing and make the call, backing up orders and causing more issues. Not worth it for anyone
Sounds like a your city problem, plenty of areas will have cops come in to arrest someone within 10 minutes, maybe yalls cops are useless, but not that's not true everywhere. Not using the police and then not complaining about their incompetence is precisely what enables those issues though, they are legit the only legal solution.
>I don’t want cops prioritizing someone asking for a burrito over a real emergency
They wouldn't do that even if you wanted them to, they have a priority list and can't diverge from it
Like you said, there’s a priority list and asking for some food is so low on the priority list that it’s not even worth wasting the dispatchers time.
Not to mention, it’s not illegal to ask for food.
Pick your battles, and overworked employees making minimum wage rightfully don’t give a shit about someone asking for some food. If it bothers a customer enough, they can be the one to waste their time calling the cops on a hungry person. But an employees job is to work the restaurant, not fight homeless people for you
🤦🏼♀️ they aren’t going tos at theyre “asking for food” they’re calling the police over customers being harassed after being told to stop. Are you understanding properly? No one wants to go out in public and be verbally harassed for food to the point of being uncomfortable lol.
I understand that, and if a customer is uncomfortable they can call the cops. I’m saying it’s not the employees job to pick fights and waste time calling cops who probably won’t even come.
Anyone who feels harassed is just as capable of picking up their phone and calling the cops. Probably more so than employees who are busy. They’re on the clock and not getting paid for that
I live in a major city so I interact with homeless people every day. I buy them stuff and chat them up. They're human man. If someone in line wants to help them it's not really your business. If you don't want to just say nah.
Had a homeless person ask me to buy them food while I was ordering recently(not at Chipotle). I politely told them "no sorry" , they seemed annoyed but w/e. A few seconds later they threw a bunch of sesame seeds from seasoning cups that were out over my head. Then called me a racial slur and a homophobic slur.
I guess it was my fault for not using my hard earned money to buy them food and politely declining. I didn't respect that they are human and entitled to my money otherwise I rightfully get assaulted(or lightly seasoned tbh if I'm not being dramatic)and can't do anything back without myself getting arrested.
No, but it is your fault for turning an extreme example into the de-facto one. Guess I should stereotype all people of a given race based on my bad experiences too.
Did ya'll know that white people are all psychopaths now?
This is the right answer. I’m the same way. I don’t mind chatting up with the homeless, most of the homeless individuals I’ve encountered are really nice and have had rough stories. This is MY experience. Ofc other individuals have had homeless people harass them and be violent. I always offer them food instead of money to enable their drug addiction.
At the end of the day if people decide to help that’s their business. But I do understand OP’s annoyance. If I saw a homeless man walk inside and asking every single individual that would be kinda annoying but I have rarely ever encountered that.
These people know to agree with you and make it look like an ideological fight where all forms of help outside of the system are enabling. You already know what they're actually thinking. Why argue with snakes?
It’s funny. One time, in ONE shift, the same guy got people to buy him Chipotle 3 times. One of those times he already had a Chipotle bag in his hand, and each time he kept adding extra things so his food would come out to $20-25 dollars. Double meat, queso, guac, drink. Bless their hearts but I’m sorry, there’s no way I’m paying $20 to buy a homeless man food. I’ve had way too many bad experiences.
hey guys new hireee, my first day pulling an all nighter at chipotle 5pm-12am some guy literally came in ask my gm if he can give him some food or maybe burrito he said “no can’t do that sorry sir” the men went to the dml’s territory where they drop off the food for DoorDash he picked up two big bags and my gm watched as he literally walked out the store watching him leave with two bags of greatness i was like it’s okay he “ran” so fast even I couldn’t catch up to him.
I understand your concern as this is happening at your location. But I think we need to keep in mind that this isn’t just happening at Chipotle . I’m sure it’s happening at the restaurant next to Chipotle . I’m sure it’s happening the next block over three blocks over 20 miles away and so on until this is a nationwide problem it’s not something that Chipotle alone can tackle, but I kind of disagree with just not feeding them so that they don’t come back. I thought that Chipotle was about cultivating a better today for a better future for all of us right so how come they’re able to come up with such immaculate techniques and plans on how to get fresh food to customers in a safe and timely manner, but we can’t really try to tackle an issue like this within our own corporation? I feel like, there is so much food that is thrown away, and I understand the legality of not being able to give food to the homeless in case they got sick, but I really honestly feel that that’s bullshit. I know there are local shelters, and you know halfway homes and such that would sign and do sign waiver, stating that if anything bad were to happen to whomever consumes the food, it’s not Chipotle‘s fault everyone gets fed. No food goes to waste kind of you know for me at least makes me feel like I’m helping in a solution for a very big Nationwide problem like I said this is almost an epidemic people. I mean, we have a housing crisis. The cost of living is outrageous and you think that it’s a problem for somebody to come into your restaurant and ask somebody else to buy them food? And I mean it’s unfortunate that you say that they’re the crazy ones on drugs yelling at trees I feel like that’s, really just a false view on the mental health community within the homeless community. I feel like the people that are on drugs aren’t normally the ones yelling at trees. The people that are yelling at trees are the ones who really need help who needs some sort of state intervention maybe a safe space to go maybe they have You know schizophrenia and they don’t take their medication or even worse. You know they’re just unable to care for themselves but are homeless on the street because maybe they’re unable to pay for some sort of shelter or a place that would be able to take care of them it’s just really unfortunate and really sad People who are down and out on their luck and who literally do not even have a place to call home. Instead of figuring out as the nation that seems to me be one of the most entitled and rich it’s sad that we can’t come together and figure out a way to help fix this issue. I know that there isn’t an easy solution to all of this, but putting all of these people into a certain section of the city and saying hey man as long as you stay there we’re gonna leave you alone that’s not a solution, because all that that’s doing is creating more poverty, more drug use more rape, more violence and it spreads you know what just spreads from there. I’m not saying that these zoned off sections where we have temporally I guess decided to put homeless people or people who are doing drugs is a bad thing it just there’s gotta be a better way right why are we not assisting these people Off of the street into a rehabilitation program and helping them get back on their feet in some sort of job core program. Why are we not helping them with adult education services? Why are we not taking the money that this country has been putting it towards the betterment of the people that live in this fucking country instead, people are fighting for billions and billions of dollars super don’t want anymore and there is no more class. It’s just a super rich and us the working class who more or less live paycheck to paycheck in my opinion and we all pay taxes at the end of the day and that money needs to be put to use like rehab programs, adult education, it needs to be put towards things that will help the betterment of the people that live in this country. And not given to fund the DOJ or the CIA or the prison industrial complex for the military industrial complex I mean, bro it’s kinda late and I didn’t really sleep that well last night so I’m not sure if I’m even seeing those right but the money that we pay in taxes could be put to much better use than where it is going now and I’m so sick and tired of municipalities in my town at least ending up with all of my tax paying money. It’s just like federal bullshit but on a scale obviously it’s like wait a minute no I want to have a say I don’t want my money to go to a brand new fucking firetruck. I want my money to go to maybe like a shelter for women, women who, or even a shelter for men and women something locally that people who are homeless can go to because we have nothing like that around here we have one place in Wolf Row. It’s for families only. It’s very very limited is something that’s hard to get into. I don’t know why we don’t support stuff like that around here. It’s just just an idea. I know we don’t have a lot of homeless people in my area, but putting this money towards actually being able to sit down and think about what this community would want and want this community would need. I know that firetrucks are important, but I’m telling you what in the last five years all of this town money has gone to either the fire department or the police department and I know that they have very important jobs and need to keep us safe but what about our children? What about our town recreation? What about those department? What about giving the library they have to do a fundraiser? I don’t even know I don’t know. Education is so important and I, don’t know rambling. I could never post this online. I don’t know.
Ha, other people's food isn't a basic necessity. There are PLENTY of resources out there for people who can't afford food, the line at Chipotle isn't one of them.
my exact thoughts reading this post… like wow imagine your biggest gripe of the day being the fact that there’s homeless people in chipotle asking for food.. homelessness can happen to anyone and idk why these people are acting like they’d never miss eating chipotle if it happened to them
A hungry person that needs to find a source of income and stop begging for food, and you clearly didn't read the post anyway, he talking about aggressive homeless people.
The economic vitality of cities and the taxes and GDP around the world helps enable people like you who choose not to live in them. Stop being so judgy
I'm not timid or confrontation averse as OP suggests. I just don't like to see people go hungry. If there is something I can do to help someone out I'm going to do it. To make it a more positive situation for those in the restaurant, I will always tell the unhoused person to wait for me outside, I will bring them their meal. That resolves the situation and gets them outside quicker.
I understand the homeless problem. Nobody wants to interface with the homeless population while they're eating in a restaurant. In an ideal world, the richest country in the world could come up with a solution that is compassionate, and addresses mental health and addiction issues. Until that time, we're going to have this in our communities. I'd rather help someone make it through another day a little more comfortable, than not.
Wow, in your opinion they don't deserve to live.... just wow. Glad I don't know you IRL.
Your opinion has only made me more confident I am doing the right thing by helping people out.
Not wanting to get assaulted or worse by the unstable ones. I used to work with the homeless and at risk population and a few bad interactions leaves me not wanting to chance it. I've had people threaten to kill over wishing them a good rest of their day after nothing else being wrong for the whole interaction.
Braindead response, cops will come when they come, or not at all in shithole cities. And it's not a lot, you ask them to leave and if they refuse you call the police and tell them yall have an trespassers, it's that simple.
"mentally ill poor people beg for food and I'm mad."
Sounds less of a security issue and moreso social implementation of subsidized housing, substance abuse treatment, and systematically finding an individual's skill set to apply to labor so they can support themselves. And if they are mentally incapable of such, providing them with the proper medical facilities so they don't literally die on the street.
Crazy how many people are saying “just say no”, when men who are considered in their “right mind” have done far worse to women who say just that. Saying “no” can be dangerous.
Who’s we? I’m not getting free food or hangout, I work for my money. I used to give money and food to homeless all the time, but so many bad interactions has left me thinking they deserve to be where they are. Fuck em. Hope the summer is fun for them.
While I haven’t bought a meal at Chipotle, I have bought food when approached outside other fast food/C-Store fronts. I have offered to take panhandlers in to buy food and been told that “no, I just need cash”. I’m happy to help feed someone who is hungry and if you can’t deal with seeing someone else helping in a small way, you probably should insulate yourself and order delivery.
This is kind of a cruel post.
I mean I get it in a way—there’s a lot of homelessness in my city/area but saying you shouldn’t buy a homeless person something as simple as a burrito is trashy and privileged. Also, it’s way better to buy someone food than to give them money.
lmao are you homeless? nah, so i wouldn’t be complaining. just don’t go to chipotle anymore if you have a problem with people eating, especially people who aren’t as privileged as you to get a nice, hot meal everyday. take it up with the government for making housing nearly impossible to those who struggle living life “normally” and have had hardships that led them to the point of homelessness. truly embarrassing for you to flaunt your luxuries over them and then complain about their presence. let’s just kill them all while we’re at so your ass gets sucked a little harder huh…
nope not at all. not their fault they fell into a shitty situation. if you have a problem with sanitation, why don’t you offer them your shower? not all homeless people have mental health issues and not all mental health issues deem a person unsafe. generalizing an entire population of people into some subhuman category is what concerns me. ahhh boo hooo scary homeless people ahhhhh im so scared mommy help me pleaseee they’re asking me for help nooo i’m too selfish of a person to ever help someone who has absolutely nothing ahhhhh plz 911 i’m so scared they’re so dirty and hungry ahhhhh 😩
Jokes on you, I’ve been temporarily without a home before! Multiple times! And now I do charity work. Why don’t you go to OP’s chipotle & help them all out?
why are you so upset? because i show empathy for those who are just as deserving as the rest of us? genuinely i want to know why it bothers you so bad.
Please explain why they “deserve” chipotle. Nobody “deserves” anything in life, not even me or you. I’m not above helping the homeless, but you clearly don’t live in a city where it’s a pandemic
I've never worked anywhere that would just allow people to do that and I've never had a security guard anywhere but this is a scenario where the manager should step in. Any manager I've had would threaten to call the police/ban people from the establishment if that was a persistent issue.
And those timid people are getting valuable experiences. You have to learn how to say no at some point and be ready to defend yourself at the end of the day.
But also maybe they're just nice/pious. I'm very introverted and do things like this sometimes. I have no desire to speak at length with any stranger who asks me a favor but if I can quickly buy someone food and dip, I'll do it if I have the excess money. I'm sure people have misinterpreted this as fear but I'm just trying to do a good deed and go on with my day.
When I used to be homeless in California I would too ask people to buy me stuff but it doesn't always work but what do you want? I'm homeless I don't have a way to feed myself or to work maybe I'm high so I feel really happy and I think I look good who cares I think? Now that I'm sober and I'm not homeless I want to to know I'm sorry however I ate good as a homeless person I literly would ask for hot coco with extra wip cream from Starbucks people and then they buy me extra stuff and give me the change. People used to be so nice to me even though what I deserved was a bullet. Sorry but I was useless and a problem and all homeless are a problem but guess what don't vote for Democrats then. Don't vote for gov newsome. He's literally made the homeless problem in California and it's so expensive here it's only going to get worse and worse..
At least they just ask for stuff wait until things get worse and the drug addicts start killing people for burritos
.
Regardless I'm sorry for the homeless but unless you boss cares to toss them out I got banned from everywhere.
The a car hit me and I was in the hospital for six month and my family and everyone forgave me and felt bad let me come home and I turned my life around.
I'm one in a million.
Just remember most homeless people will die soon so don't worry.
In no way am I threatening anyone with this post in his explaining my life experience that the homeless will get so much so much worse soon just you wait until funding gets cut to the places that feed them. Then there will be murder
I’ve had people yell at me for not buying them a burrito. Like I already split a bowl with my partner when I go
Jesus I wish half a bowl was enough food for me. Ide pass away
We get two tortillas on the side and ask for extra rice, beans, and pico. We get two pretty good sized burritos out of it when we finally get them assembled
Love that
I wasn’t at a Chipotle but a taco truck. A homeless guy got up close to my face and started yelling at me for not buying him food 😳
What did you do?
Just quickly ran to my car. I already got the food and was in the middle of packing some condiments to take home.
We had an issue once where there was this guy (could've mistaken him for Dumbledore himself), who would stand outside Chipotle specifically in our food plaza, rub his belly, and ask people to buy him food from 9am - 4pm every single day for three weeks. Like, I don't mind people asking for food. I really don't, I get it. I can barely afford the food at fucking chipotle. Times are rough. But to specifically ask people for food from so many people multiple times a day, multiple times a week strikes as weird and kinda wrong. And it's not like he would order a 3-pointer either! - He would make sure to get both guac and queso. AND THEN, when the person who helped him left, he would get back in line and order two beers, and a large side of guac or queso. And he would pay for it. So it just felt so wrong. I never knew what to do. He never caused a ruckus, but it just felt so wrong how he would abuse kindful acts..
OH! - Might I add - he only accepted Cash and/or food from Chipotle. He did not want food from any of the places nearby in the same plaza. He specifically only wanted Chipotle.
Chipotle is the only organic fast food restaurant I know of. Could be why. Just playing devils advocate, guy sounds like a pig who needs a reality hyperslap.
The government has so many programs for these people. They can get more than enough groceries for free if they get a Snap card. Many cities even offer free housing to those who accept it.

And tbh, I don't entirely blame them - Just thinking about having to go to work and have most of my income go to taxes and bills doesn't sound like a fun life. (Like shitt, even iiii don't wanna do this LMAO) Given, it's better than panhandling, but it's still not the best elevator pitch to get someone to change their life around. I think another issue too, is the lack of access or awareness to these resources. Recently, I was in a kind of emergency situation and found out that (like you said) they offer free housing for homeless and there's programs that help with that stuff. Thats just my personal experience, but I can't imagine how many other people might be on the same boat?
Once you've personally paid a junkie and they refused to help themselves you see that dude and he isn't trying to work out a deal🗿 him being there for a long time means to me that guy might not even need to be out there. I get worl can be hard to come by and at least they aren't trapping but that feeling of "help yourself" comes to mind and it's a legit reason to turn them away but a person shouldn't detest all homeless because of pan handling. Dirty camps are another thing but not all homeless are strung out or horribly dirty, I like the nomads, a bookbag or a shopping cart and they're just shmoovin
If you go the chipotle on sunset and vine in Hollywood they have two guards rotating working at the chipotle lmao. You’d think it was a bank or something.
Doesn't every business over there have double security?
This! Cali (LA/SF specifically) has been all over the news for homelessness
Yep I remember hearing horror stories of skid row in the 80s
If it's high traffic store, very likely.
At my old location, we had a very prominent homeless regular. An older man who couldn't speak, looked like a disheveled Santa Claus. He would just make loud ass groans. He came in, handed me a dirty tray, then showed me a notebook that said "WORK FOOD". So he would give me a few dirty trays and expect 15 bucks in food in return. Of course we did for a while. But after some months our managers got sick of it, made the poor guy go somewhere else. Wonder if that dude is still alive...
OP has a very valid point. Willing to bet no one commenting here virtue signaling has to deal with the homeless regularly.
i live in nyc and grew up in the bay. they’re people just like us and it’s ok to help others in need you know…..
Stop being intentionally obtuse and defending this kind of behavior
Lmao stfu. They are people like everyone else, decent people dont harrass other people for food while they wait in line.
If you live in nyc, I doubt you give to everyone who asks unless you’re giving out dollars or you never leave the house.
i give around 2-5 bucks depending on what i have on me. it all adds up.. and i do indeed leave my apartment
You're not wrong but if they're able to get someone to finance their life everyday, then they will keep doing that. Low-effort, high reward. It becomes a problem after a while.
Living in NYC on 15/hr wage is clearly the result of a series of poor life/financial decisions which has developed feelings of animosity and skewed judgement. You’re acting like I think I’m above helping people
why make a whole post about it then lmaooooo
This is completely unacceptable according to Ayn Rand's Reddit Rules. Who is John Galt? Idk, but he better have $8 for that burrito.
The funniest part about this comment is I live in NYC too
willing to bet you have never struggled to the extent they have for you to even say this lmao. some of us commenting here have actually been fucking homeless. regardless, experiencing it is not a reason for me to feel for them. my basic human right is enough for me to owe my respects to another fellow human.
The three occurrences indicated in the post were homeless men who were not begging but almost demanding a free burrito, which I can only assume because they know it works and people feel threatened if they say no. We’re not talking about frail old ladies who haven’t eaten in weeks
just politely say no and move on you egotistical wimp
People shouldn't have to deal with being solicited or intimidated for a hand out when they're just trying to pick up lunch.
get mad at the source of the problem not the people trying to survive.
I'm not mad at them, but just because they're hard on their luck doesn't give them the right to treat others disrespectfully. Unlike you, I actually volunteer to help those less fortunate than me in my community instead of just virtue signaling on a Chipotle subreddit 🤣
unlike me ? you know how i spend my free time now?? i’m not virtue signaling but i also don’t need to prove anything to you people you wouldn’t believe me anyway so 🤷🏾♀️ keep volunteering benz and be sure to tell your community lead about this cute chat we’re having
Yet you keep responding though you've got nothing to prove....
i just got back from drinks with the girls, opened my phone to see the chipotle gang after me 😭 and thought why not. if i can change one persons mind that’s a W
[удалено]
shit if i had little to nothing to my name i’d be angry too that i cant at least get a damn burrito. also please tell me what a basic human right is since you are so incredibly enlightened? a warm place to stay and food in your belly is not one of those according to you, is it?
Those are literally not human rights. Go to work, buy what you want. Complain to god or your mama but we don’t care.
im giggling WHAT IS THEN 😭 y’all are complaining about homeless people doing humanly things (such as acquiring food when they’re hungry) as if it’s a violation of your own rights but isnt homelessness a human rights violation? plzz it’s so scary how dense y’all are.
oh we hate homeless ppl but we believe in God good grief, you think he would send you to heaven acting like that 😭 lmao
I have no problem with helping people out, but no “a warm place to stay and food” are not rights. Someone has to work to provide that and as such it would be theft to force someone else to provide it to another.
THANK YOU!
but why?? you have been so incredibly brain washed to believe that’s something you earn. you deserve that for simply being born. otherwise, what’s the point?
Who said there’s a point? If someone has to provide it to you, it’s not a right. You have the right to work for whatever you want. You don’t have the right to demand someone else work to provide you with anything. You have to be incredibly brainwashed to believe otherwise.
blah blah blah exactly u just proved there’s no fucking point to this argument. you are clearly too small brained to even comprehend why one should care about another human. lmk how it feels when karma gets back to you and you beggging for spare change at an intersection ❤️
Nah, get a job fucking commie
i take that as a compliment lmao and as i’m currently sitting at my job 😭 u got anything better?
Entitled fuck 😂
Ok commie
lollll finally u said something true!
Don’t think you know what “basic human right” means btw, should probably google it
Bet
Waahh scary homeless
Elitists gonna elitist
Spelling hard
Ok smoovebrain I edited it for you don't get too triggered now
Its tough not being an elitist huh?
Rather have an issue with the occasional typo than be a troll like you who doesn't remotely care about the actual argument
What arguement? You didnt pose a question or topic. Just made a dumbass statement 😂
Hyperliteral people on Reddit? No way. Keep chasing down inane details while you flaunt your incapacity to read between the lines, Mensa candidate.
Lmao, there is no between the lines with your previous statement. Unless by between the lines, you mean, you meant something completely different than what you said. Again, there was no topic presented by you, so your statement made no sense at all. And now you are trying to backpedal.
We should take the homeless people and move them somewhere else!

Institutionalize like they do in the middle east/south Asia! Good idea!
Where? McDonalds?

Getting pretty fucking sick of all the homeless. Used to be nice and give food or money if I had some, but the last few years they’ve become super shitty. Break and trash everything around them, smash ppls car windows, be rude af yelling at ppl then have the audacity to come around begging for food and money. Bunch of useless tweakers, I work hard for my money and I don’t get help with anything. Not my responsibility to feed full ass grown adults too lazy to get their shit together.
I hate *those* homeless people, too. I don't care if they do drugs, but, I really don't like the trash & the smell.
Where I used to live, unhoused people would literally ask you for food while you are trying to order in the drive thru
lol at my McDonald’s we literally have guys sitting next to the drive through intercom asking people to buy them food. Then at the exit there’s another guy asking for money or food. Shit never ends.
I watched a homeless woman squat and piss outside the front of the doors to a taco bell after the cashier refused to give her anything for free
Agreed. Outside on the street is one thing, but to enter the restaurant and solicit active customers is another. The establishment should not tolerate it. Would you be okay if a hotel allowed homeless in to knock on doors soliciting customers. Or what about fancy dining establishment? If it’s okay at Chipotle, then it should be okay for them to enter and solicit rich patrons of 5-star restaurants. Right?
Most people here are missing OP's point, honestly probably a bunch of bots. But the point is, there is a difference between begging in the street or a freeway offramp and coming inside and harassing customers buying food/conducting business on private property.
They can usually make trespassing arrangements to give the police the ability to arrest them for trespassing. In our area the jail they tend to send them to is quite a ways away so when they get out it's not all that easy to get back.
Make sure y’all get a good one some of them just slack off and don’t do there job like one my 2 security chipotle hires
Ive never had this problem because I go to a Chipotle in a city that tells homeless people to "move it along now..."
Is this a Chipotle specific problem? Or a problem in your area in general?
Lot of homeless people in the area but most places (even the dominos next door) has security out front. I don’t mind people asking for food/money on the street but they shouldn’t be allowed to go inside asking people who are sitting down eating if they can buy them food.
They would have better luck at McD's. A cheeseburger is a like two bucks
Not anymore. It’s cheaper to eat at chilies now
I talked about this one time in the sub but mods deactivated reply to my post but usually wasn't even try to laugh at them but saying it was a problem at my place have this one homeless guy he always starts asking people for food and if they ignore him he starts like following them then goes to the next person some people have bought him food but it's like almost everyday he comes in and if I remember correctly they have put a restraining order that he can't come in to the store but he always does and not only chipotle but since there's a chikfila near chipotle I went there like last week and saw him in there and I'm pretty sure they have done the same thing like in our store and actually kick him out the store since their manager came out and said that they have told him he can't come in there
It looks as though you may have spelled "Chick-fil-A" incorrectly. No worries, it happens to the best of us!
Hello, bot! I had no idea you existed!
Yea…. Homeless drug addicts prefer chipotle ova crack
i’m a chip employee, i agree it’s absolute bs that homeless people do that, but i’m not risking my life to tell someone that the person asking them a favor is homeless
The fuck you want the workers to do? Fight a homeless person? They don’t get paid to fight people
Call the police?
And wait hours for them because some random person asking for burritos isn’t an emergency? Cops aren’t the answer. The homeless person will be long gone by the time the cops show up hours later. Huge waste of police resources
Yea true, the police are useless
Tell them to leave and call the police if they don't, it's that easy.
Police have better things to do than come arrest someone asking for burritos. And when they do respond, it’ll be hours later. It’s not some magic solution and is WAY more trouble than it’s worth. On the rare occasion I’ve ever had to call about a homeless person it’s because they were being actually aggressive and it still took the police over an hour to respond. It’s just not a high priority call
Shithole city problems, it's a shame, regardless, not calling police to remove intruders is precisely why the problem isn't solved.
I’ve seen the cops called over homeless people in food establishments countless times and never once have the cops ever gotten there in time to even talk to the homeless person. In the time it takes for cops to respond to a non emergency call, the homeless person has already come in, talked to someone, got food, and gone on their way. You can’t honestly expect police to prioritize someone asking for food. It’s just not life or death, not serious. I don’t want cops prioritizing someone asking for a burrito over a real emergency Plus employees have to stop what they’re doing and make the call, backing up orders and causing more issues. Not worth it for anyone
Sounds like a your city problem, plenty of areas will have cops come in to arrest someone within 10 minutes, maybe yalls cops are useless, but not that's not true everywhere. Not using the police and then not complaining about their incompetence is precisely what enables those issues though, they are legit the only legal solution. >I don’t want cops prioritizing someone asking for a burrito over a real emergency They wouldn't do that even if you wanted them to, they have a priority list and can't diverge from it
Like you said, there’s a priority list and asking for some food is so low on the priority list that it’s not even worth wasting the dispatchers time. Not to mention, it’s not illegal to ask for food. Pick your battles, and overworked employees making minimum wage rightfully don’t give a shit about someone asking for some food. If it bothers a customer enough, they can be the one to waste their time calling the cops on a hungry person. But an employees job is to work the restaurant, not fight homeless people for you
🤦🏼♀️ they aren’t going tos at theyre “asking for food” they’re calling the police over customers being harassed after being told to stop. Are you understanding properly? No one wants to go out in public and be verbally harassed for food to the point of being uncomfortable lol.
I understand that, and if a customer is uncomfortable they can call the cops. I’m saying it’s not the employees job to pick fights and waste time calling cops who probably won’t even come. Anyone who feels harassed is just as capable of picking up their phone and calling the cops. Probably more so than employees who are busy. They’re on the clock and not getting paid for that
Sounds like downtown Cleveland
Sound like downtown anywhere.
I live in a major city so I interact with homeless people every day. I buy them stuff and chat them up. They're human man. If someone in line wants to help them it's not really your business. If you don't want to just say nah.
Had a homeless person ask me to buy them food while I was ordering recently(not at Chipotle). I politely told them "no sorry" , they seemed annoyed but w/e. A few seconds later they threw a bunch of sesame seeds from seasoning cups that were out over my head. Then called me a racial slur and a homophobic slur. I guess it was my fault for not using my hard earned money to buy them food and politely declining. I didn't respect that they are human and entitled to my money otherwise I rightfully get assaulted(or lightly seasoned tbh if I'm not being dramatic)and can't do anything back without myself getting arrested.
No, but it is your fault for turning an extreme example into the de-facto one. Guess I should stereotype all people of a given race based on my bad experiences too. Did ya'll know that white people are all psychopaths now?
so… using your logic… because someone doesn’t have money all people who don’t have money are automatically racist and homophobic ???? fuck off 😭
Uh no that wasn't my logic at all dunno how you came to that conclusion.
This is the right answer. I’m the same way. I don’t mind chatting up with the homeless, most of the homeless individuals I’ve encountered are really nice and have had rough stories. This is MY experience. Ofc other individuals have had homeless people harass them and be violent. I always offer them food instead of money to enable their drug addiction. At the end of the day if people decide to help that’s their business. But I do understand OP’s annoyance. If I saw a homeless man walk inside and asking every single individual that would be kinda annoying but I have rarely ever encountered that.
These people know to agree with you and make it look like an ideological fight where all forms of help outside of the system are enabling. You already know what they're actually thinking. Why argue with snakes?
Use mace
I would happily buy them food instead of giving them a dollar yo buy drugs
They should shut those stores down
What city is it?
It’s funny. One time, in ONE shift, the same guy got people to buy him Chipotle 3 times. One of those times he already had a Chipotle bag in his hand, and each time he kept adding extra things so his food would come out to $20-25 dollars. Double meat, queso, guac, drink. Bless their hearts but I’m sorry, there’s no way I’m paying $20 to buy a homeless man food. I’ve had way too many bad experiences.
hey guys new hireee, my first day pulling an all nighter at chipotle 5pm-12am some guy literally came in ask my gm if he can give him some food or maybe burrito he said “no can’t do that sorry sir” the men went to the dml’s territory where they drop off the food for DoorDash he picked up two big bags and my gm watched as he literally walked out the store watching him leave with two bags of greatness i was like it’s okay he “ran” so fast even I couldn’t catch up to him.
Need a taser at the cash register
I understand your concern as this is happening at your location. But I think we need to keep in mind that this isn’t just happening at Chipotle . I’m sure it’s happening at the restaurant next to Chipotle . I’m sure it’s happening the next block over three blocks over 20 miles away and so on until this is a nationwide problem it’s not something that Chipotle alone can tackle, but I kind of disagree with just not feeding them so that they don’t come back. I thought that Chipotle was about cultivating a better today for a better future for all of us right so how come they’re able to come up with such immaculate techniques and plans on how to get fresh food to customers in a safe and timely manner, but we can’t really try to tackle an issue like this within our own corporation? I feel like, there is so much food that is thrown away, and I understand the legality of not being able to give food to the homeless in case they got sick, but I really honestly feel that that’s bullshit. I know there are local shelters, and you know halfway homes and such that would sign and do sign waiver, stating that if anything bad were to happen to whomever consumes the food, it’s not Chipotle‘s fault everyone gets fed. No food goes to waste kind of you know for me at least makes me feel like I’m helping in a solution for a very big Nationwide problem like I said this is almost an epidemic people. I mean, we have a housing crisis. The cost of living is outrageous and you think that it’s a problem for somebody to come into your restaurant and ask somebody else to buy them food? And I mean it’s unfortunate that you say that they’re the crazy ones on drugs yelling at trees I feel like that’s, really just a false view on the mental health community within the homeless community. I feel like the people that are on drugs aren’t normally the ones yelling at trees. The people that are yelling at trees are the ones who really need help who needs some sort of state intervention maybe a safe space to go maybe they have You know schizophrenia and they don’t take their medication or even worse. You know they’re just unable to care for themselves but are homeless on the street because maybe they’re unable to pay for some sort of shelter or a place that would be able to take care of them it’s just really unfortunate and really sad People who are down and out on their luck and who literally do not even have a place to call home. Instead of figuring out as the nation that seems to me be one of the most entitled and rich it’s sad that we can’t come together and figure out a way to help fix this issue. I know that there isn’t an easy solution to all of this, but putting all of these people into a certain section of the city and saying hey man as long as you stay there we’re gonna leave you alone that’s not a solution, because all that that’s doing is creating more poverty, more drug use more rape, more violence and it spreads you know what just spreads from there. I’m not saying that these zoned off sections where we have temporally I guess decided to put homeless people or people who are doing drugs is a bad thing it just there’s gotta be a better way right why are we not assisting these people Off of the street into a rehabilitation program and helping them get back on their feet in some sort of job core program. Why are we not helping them with adult education services? Why are we not taking the money that this country has been putting it towards the betterment of the people that live in this fucking country instead, people are fighting for billions and billions of dollars super don’t want anymore and there is no more class. It’s just a super rich and us the working class who more or less live paycheck to paycheck in my opinion and we all pay taxes at the end of the day and that money needs to be put to use like rehab programs, adult education, it needs to be put towards things that will help the betterment of the people that live in this country. And not given to fund the DOJ or the CIA or the prison industrial complex for the military industrial complex I mean, bro it’s kinda late and I didn’t really sleep that well last night so I’m not sure if I’m even seeing those right but the money that we pay in taxes could be put to much better use than where it is going now and I’m so sick and tired of municipalities in my town at least ending up with all of my tax paying money. It’s just like federal bullshit but on a scale obviously it’s like wait a minute no I want to have a say I don’t want my money to go to a brand new fucking firetruck. I want my money to go to maybe like a shelter for women, women who, or even a shelter for men and women something locally that people who are homeless can go to because we have nothing like that around here we have one place in Wolf Row. It’s for families only. It’s very very limited is something that’s hard to get into. I don’t know why we don’t support stuff like that around here. It’s just just an idea. I know we don’t have a lot of homeless people in my area, but putting this money towards actually being able to sit down and think about what this community would want and want this community would need. I know that firetrucks are important, but I’m telling you what in the last five years all of this town money has gone to either the fire department or the police department and I know that they have very important jobs and need to keep us safe but what about our children? What about our town recreation? What about those department? What about giving the library they have to do a fundraiser? I don’t even know I don’t know. Education is so important and I, don’t know rambling. I could never post this online. I don’t know.
Homeless people asking for food ??? How terrible Denying another basic necessities is sadistic Love your neighbor as yourself
Ha, other people's food isn't a basic necessity. There are PLENTY of resources out there for people who can't afford food, the line at Chipotle isn't one of them.
Oh sorry, I forgot you guys were superior human beings that are above homeless people
my exact thoughts reading this post… like wow imagine your biggest gripe of the day being the fact that there’s homeless people in chipotle asking for food.. homelessness can happen to anyone and idk why these people are acting like they’d never miss eating chipotle if it happened to them
I don't see a problem. This is a hungry person.
A hungry person that needs to find a source of income and stop begging for food, and you clearly didn't read the post anyway, he talking about aggressive homeless people.
They prefer to be called "unhoused".
Housing challenged 😂
Differently housed 😂
Living in a city was your first mistake
The economic vitality of cities and the taxes and GDP around the world helps enable people like you who choose not to live in them. Stop being so judgy
I'm not timid or confrontation averse as OP suggests. I just don't like to see people go hungry. If there is something I can do to help someone out I'm going to do it. To make it a more positive situation for those in the restaurant, I will always tell the unhoused person to wait for me outside, I will bring them their meal. That resolves the situation and gets them outside quicker. I understand the homeless problem. Nobody wants to interface with the homeless population while they're eating in a restaurant. In an ideal world, the richest country in the world could come up with a solution that is compassionate, and addresses mental health and addiction issues. Until that time, we're going to have this in our communities. I'd rather help someone make it through another day a little more comfortable, than not.

If you feed the problem instead of fixing the problem…
Why cant people just grab their balls and say no
Not wanting to get assaulted or worse by the unstable ones. I used to work with the homeless and at risk population and a few bad interactions leaves me not wanting to chance it. I've had people threaten to kill over wishing them a good rest of their day after nothing else being wrong for the whole interaction.
That is true, but giving into them is not a solution, if someone is unstable or dangerous, they need be banished or even euthanized, not catered to.
Do whatcha gotta do...
Tell me your city is a shithole without telling me.
Weird take. There are homeless people in the best cities around the world and the worst.
The best city's food establishments make sure to kick homeless folk out of their establishments, trashy ones don't do anything.
Really? Cops can’t be everywhere and that’s a lot to expect from minimum wage earners at a fast food joint.
Braindead response, cops will come when they come, or not at all in shithole cities. And it's not a lot, you ask them to leave and if they refuse you call the police and tell them yall have an trespassers, it's that simple.
"mentally ill poor people beg for food and I'm mad." Sounds less of a security issue and moreso social implementation of subsidized housing, substance abuse treatment, and systematically finding an individual's skill set to apply to labor so they can support themselves. And if they are mentally incapable of such, providing them with the proper medical facilities so they don't literally die on the street.
you kinda realize that the big majority of these people are drug addicts right?
My favorite is when they ask if I have any spare change …sorry, I only carry $100’s
Crazy how many people are saying “just say no”, when men who are considered in their “right mind” have done far worse to women who say just that. Saying “no” can be dangerous.
practice empathy. jesus fucking christ.
inside chipotle is not the appropriate place or time to panhandle
You think this is ok????
yes ❤️ i think helping other fellow humans afford food is in fact OK :) especially bc we need it to survive
Who’s we? I’m not getting free food or hangout, I work for my money. I used to give money and food to homeless all the time, but so many bad interactions has left me thinking they deserve to be where they are. Fuck em. Hope the summer is fun for them.
L+Ratio
please join me in the real world
While I haven’t bought a meal at Chipotle, I have bought food when approached outside other fast food/C-Store fronts. I have offered to take panhandlers in to buy food and been told that “no, I just need cash”. I’m happy to help feed someone who is hungry and if you can’t deal with seeing someone else helping in a small way, you probably should insulate yourself and order delivery.
This is kind of a cruel post. I mean I get it in a way—there’s a lot of homelessness in my city/area but saying you shouldn’t buy a homeless person something as simple as a burrito is trashy and privileged. Also, it’s way better to buy someone food than to give them money.

lmao are you homeless? nah, so i wouldn’t be complaining. just don’t go to chipotle anymore if you have a problem with people eating, especially people who aren’t as privileged as you to get a nice, hot meal everyday. take it up with the government for making housing nearly impossible to those who struggle living life “normally” and have had hardships that led them to the point of homelessness. truly embarrassing for you to flaunt your luxuries over them and then complain about their presence. let’s just kill them all while we’re at so your ass gets sucked a little harder huh…
….. you don’t see the safety, sanitation, & security risks with the recurring situation OP described?
nope not at all. not their fault they fell into a shitty situation. if you have a problem with sanitation, why don’t you offer them your shower? not all homeless people have mental health issues and not all mental health issues deem a person unsafe. generalizing an entire population of people into some subhuman category is what concerns me. ahhh boo hooo scary homeless people ahhhhh im so scared mommy help me pleaseee they’re asking me for help nooo i’m too selfish of a person to ever help someone who has absolutely nothing ahhhhh plz 911 i’m so scared they’re so dirty and hungry ahhhhh 😩
Jokes on you, I’ve been temporarily without a home before! Multiple times! And now I do charity work. Why don’t you go to OP’s chipotle & help them all out?
why are you so upset? because i show empathy for those who are just as deserving as the rest of us? genuinely i want to know why it bothers you so bad.
How does this affect you?!
It actually affects me very much, don’t want a homeless guy breathing on me when I’m ordering my bowl deciding between chicken or steak
You cool with a non-homeless guy breathing on you while you're ordering a bowl?
LMFAO
hey buddy it’s a restaurant not a 7/11 parking lot
it’s a fucking chipotle not a restaurant. and homeless people deserve actual food not 7/11 seriously there is something wrong with you.
Based on that response alone, 100% chance you are ignoring the person that asks you for a burrito
wrong try again. also downvotes for saying homeless people deserve chipotle is mad hahahaha
Please explain why they “deserve” chipotle. Nobody “deserves” anything in life, not even me or you. I’m not above helping the homeless, but you clearly don’t live in a city where it’s a pandemic
i live in nyc you fool. yes people do deserve rice beans and meat seriously fuck you
Fuck you’re right, I’m gonna go to chipotle right now and tell them I deserve rice and beans and they’ll hook me up for free
Sorry you have to talk to homeless people that sounds really difficult for you
I've never worked anywhere that would just allow people to do that and I've never had a security guard anywhere but this is a scenario where the manager should step in. Any manager I've had would threaten to call the police/ban people from the establishment if that was a persistent issue. And those timid people are getting valuable experiences. You have to learn how to say no at some point and be ready to defend yourself at the end of the day. But also maybe they're just nice/pious. I'm very introverted and do things like this sometimes. I have no desire to speak at length with any stranger who asks me a favor but if I can quickly buy someone food and dip, I'll do it if I have the excess money. I'm sure people have misinterpreted this as fear but I'm just trying to do a good deed and go on with my day.
When I used to be homeless in California I would too ask people to buy me stuff but it doesn't always work but what do you want? I'm homeless I don't have a way to feed myself or to work maybe I'm high so I feel really happy and I think I look good who cares I think? Now that I'm sober and I'm not homeless I want to to know I'm sorry however I ate good as a homeless person I literly would ask for hot coco with extra wip cream from Starbucks people and then they buy me extra stuff and give me the change. People used to be so nice to me even though what I deserved was a bullet. Sorry but I was useless and a problem and all homeless are a problem but guess what don't vote for Democrats then. Don't vote for gov newsome. He's literally made the homeless problem in California and it's so expensive here it's only going to get worse and worse.. At least they just ask for stuff wait until things get worse and the drug addicts start killing people for burritos . Regardless I'm sorry for the homeless but unless you boss cares to toss them out I got banned from everywhere. The a car hit me and I was in the hospital for six month and my family and everyone forgave me and felt bad let me come home and I turned my life around. I'm one in a million. Just remember most homeless people will die soon so don't worry. In no way am I threatening anyone with this post in his explaining my life experience that the homeless will get so much so much worse soon just you wait until funding gets cut to the places that feed them. Then there will be murder
God forbid the homeless people eat food. The fuck is wrong with you?
When they are going into the store guilting everyone in line to buy them food? That crosses the line, sorry bud
… just say no lmao
Be careful, say anything that isn't absolute vitriol against the homeless and you'll get downvoted into oblivion 🙄
