Every night, there's this ad that plays in my workplace about how ‘all of your friends and neighbors deserve a happy holiday!’ at least 20 times during my shift, and it got me to thinking… some of my neighbors don't deserve jack SQUAT. But that's a story for another day.
Yeah, I work nights at a grocery store, and probably about 1/4 of the people who come in are the people you just described. What's worse is that I have to just let those people shoplift too. Can't lay a finger on 'em. And then they come in later and return what they stole for cash, and thus abuse both the state-funded systems and the privately run system. Cool, huh?
I know what you mean... I've bee homeless, and I knew some who would work the system to get things for free while avoiding getting a job... Some others were looking for work and some of us stop being homeless... Still there are some still fighting poverty and sickness who deserve a little help..
