I made the right choice right? I'm the business owner btw.
Kick them the fuck out. Even worse is when they go table to table begging for money. Fucking disrespectful and disgusting.
Isaiah Flores
Sure, by giving him a meal you would only make it worse. Next day there would be 10 more trying the same trick.
Ian Parker
If you give freebies once, those homeless will keep coming around, you did the right thing. You could employ him to clean toilets or something to earn his meal though.
Kayden Green
Homeless nigger would have gotten that 5$, but instead of repaying you he would have bought 5$ worth of crack. There is a reason he is homeless.
>>Everyone looking at me like I'm a piece of shit.
That’s when you lost 30% of your customers. Remember that these days people fucking love being self righteous and will do anything to make a protest about how holy they are. They’ll never come again due to your cold heartedness. That’s how petty people are. I personally give less than a fuck about tramps.
Carson Watson
Here’s your meal; come back with the money later as you promised and the next one is half price (or free). That’s how you win; that 5 is worth more in good reputation and word of mouth.
Anthony Bennett
This, OP cannot into PR.
Lincoln Evans
>now suddenly every crackhead in a 100 mile radius thinks they can get a discounted food in exchange for eating free food at your restaurant
You did wrong by not kicking him out as soon he placed a foot in your business
Lucas Mitchell
Good work OP. Next time follow the bum to his hideout and shank him. Homeless are scum and need to be either summarily executed or sent to some type of reserve.
Lincoln Watson
People leave their virtue signaling at the door when eating at a restaurant. If some smelly homeless person even sits next to me when I'm enjoying a meal and paying one hell of a premium for the privilege, you can bet your ass I fully expect the owner to take action and kick their ass out.
Chase Ortiz
A truly just and ethical society would euthanize these subhumans. Less resources wasted and less suffering for them.
Isaiah Edwards
This. This will just attract more. Haven't you seen South Park?
Austin Williams
yeah i sell weed and I got mother fuckers wanting fronts all the fucking time. DONT DO IT
Parker Evans
>You could employ him to clean toilets or something to earn his meal though. That's a white people fantasy. You let them in to work and 80% of the time they rob you.
Kayden James
You deserve it, degenerate.
Xavier Jackson
I would never ask for fronts because I know there's no incentive to pay it back. You front a bag of weed, you smoke it, its gone. 90% of losers are just going to use the money they get to buy more weed from somebody else instead of paying you back.
Christian Hernandez
You did the right choice on a lose-lose situation, I'd say don't worry too much you might have lost some returning customers but on the long run you'd saved hundreds of dollars giving free shit to hobos
Eli Jackson
Nah I work in a fast food. I give homeless people canceled orders. Never even once they came everyday for food. Mostly one or 2 comes once a week, and If I don’t have any they leave respectively.
Xavier Wright
>Everyone looking at me like I'm a piece of shit.
This you moron. The fact that you can't comprehend that this would have been great fucking advertisement for your business to the customers present means you've failed.
Nathaniel Collins
your customers felt bad so you could have done it better, but not serving him a free meal was certainly right
Adrian Morris
Well OP, you are asking this on Jow Forums, a place full of people completely devoid of empathy due to childhood trauma / developing personality disorders. But let me as a normal healthy human being, who grew up in a stable houshold with more than enough love, tell you: you're a piece of shit. You know it too. That's why of all places you come here to sooth your conscience. Because you know 90% of comments are gonna be: "homeless people should be executed" or sth like that.
Angel Wilson
case in point lmao how fucking predictable is this website
Landon Taylor
this.
Wyatt James
No you should have called the police
Luis Williams
Yes and no, op
You have to kind of look at the whole situation and just use your senses -does he seem genuine? -does he seem like he is truly starving? -it's 5 bucks, if he seems legit, tell him to meet u around back, that way nobody who is watching can judge u, tell him to take a garbage bag out or pick up cig butts, or just spot him the meal and tell him it's a one time deal for fronting, don't make a habit. A good deed once in a while won't fucking kill u. Plus I guarantee u just fucked yourself out of a good chunk of most likely regulars, they'll prob give bad Internet review for ur biz too now, and tell their friends nit to go there. Plus u have some homeless guy with homeless friends that have nothing to lose on ur bad side, which is more bad variables for ur biz Sometimes u have to actually think about all aspects of a decision like that before running ur mouth As a biz owner u should have some level of professionalism Even if he seems like he's full of shit, the right thing would be to talk to him out of sight privately and explain it man to man Not good op Also bad karma
Joshua Baker
you are just a narcissistic retard and your advice and analysis are worthless
Liam Gutierrez
Found the hobo
Juan Lewis
This. Btw these people leverage on guilt. Always desist.
Owen Barnes
~~~~projection~~~~
Caleb Wood
you did nothing wrong OP why would he show up without the money in the first place
if you gave him that food you were never seeing him again
Brandon Lee
You have to go back.
Zachary Bailey
Fucking retards want solidarity? Why not pay for the guys 5 bucko meal themselves instead of getting all hypocrite over completely justified business management decision.
Nolan Morgan
Do you want to talk about it, user? What age were you when your father left? Did your mother have drinking problems? Was there ever any abuse in the family? You and the hobo probably have much in common
Nolan Butler
nigger~
Ryan Sanders
Being formerly homeless myself I'd say you made the right move for yourself. There is no wrong or right answer to that. If he was really hungry he wouldn't care and just go ask the next person/business. If they take it personally then they have bigger issues at hand.
Robert Taylor
YOU ARE BASED OP
Caleb Perry
You did what you were supposed to do! You're not running a fuckin soup kitchen
Isaac Barnes
Why do you want to keep homeless people stuck in an endless cycle of poverty and suffering? Take a trip to the West Coast and see how bad the problem is getting and what their camps are like. The world would be a much better place if we simply removed them from the picture. That might incentivize anyone thinking about becoming a degenerate crusty to consider viable alternatives.
Thomas Sanchez
Fuck you, you virtue signaling faggot. No one cares about what a great person you think you may be, but let me assure you, you are worse than the scum on this board, get the fuck out of here you tranny empathizer!!! People like you should be lined up and shot!!!
This, if there was free pr discounted food I'm sure the OP would have advertised as such.
Levi Perez
Even the formerly homeless user is on my side. Glad you got out of it fren.
Jacob Miller
What a piece of shit. You deserve losing customers lol.
Owen Gutierrez
hopefully he isnt on your side, just because you are the lesser retard than the self-righteous redditor you are still pretty retarded for wanting to euthanize people
Jackson Russell
You not a business owner, You piece of shit
Ryder Kelly
Why don't we just try it once and see if the homeless problem replicates itself?
Landon Watson
i would not even listen to what he had to say as he would already be coming off as needy, but since you did listen i would of just forked off a measley 5 buck for the poor sucker
Brandon Phillips
nigga I live in a European welfare state and the hobos in my city of almost 1 million inhabitants are all recognizable because there are like 10 of them. You have a homeless problem in the US of A because your country sucks ass as there are literally tens of thousands of veterans sleeping under bridges and the whole country doesn't care because it is the most degenerate piece of shit garbage shithole that ever existed and I cannot wait for it to all come tumbling down with your fake wealth and your fake big houses made of wood (lmao wood, this aint the middle ages you whiny ass bitch). But sure let's all line up normal people and shoot them that's totally a normal political idea to express on an anonymous anime image board and totally not just a way to express your inner rage that's only directed at yourself because your dad didn't love you or some other boring boo-hoo sob story shit. Camps? Nigga I dont live in a fucking third world shit hole.
I fucking hate trannies you little bitch
Ian Brooks
I would have told him no but if he comes back you'll give a full portion for 5 bucks. If he agreed and came back I would have just gave it to him for free but I'm a sucker...
Gavin Thomas
Why do all these homeless hobos always ask for money, but never ask for a job?
This lol, he couldve offered something he could do in exchange for food.
Matthew Bailey
I live in a third world country. I didn't came from a rich family, my parents died when I was a teenager, I've been livin on my own ever since, manage to make learn how to program and make a livin out of it and also cripto.
It's not that hard not to work and manage to survive, you need to make an extra effort to be a homeless person now a days with the government giving away so much free shit
Christian Evans
U were doing good farming salt from these fucks until this little outburst
Do u want to talk about it? Do u feel your housing situation could be better? Do you feel you should be making more money? Are you in some congested shit hole where the hot water comes and goes as it pleases? Do you drive a beater? Or just stuck taking public transit? Is your dictator giving all the good stuff away to refugees?
Blake Foster
Lmao are you unironically asking this?
Nolan Turner
You still haven't offered a better solution to our homeless problem. Giving them free shit has only incentivized more of them to come.
Sebastian Miller
>this has worked for me so it should work for everyone textbook lack of empathy. Let's see: childhood trauma, lack of parental guidance. You probably feel numb all the time. Hey but at least you can program amirite?
Colton Hill
Yea, I put myself on the streets on purpose a couple times when I was younger, I hitch hiked and got around instead of moping around like most of the homeless in the u.s., it's just a tough situation because some of those people really do need help while a good portion are just degenerates who could not make a good decision if their life depended on it, they refuse. So it's hard to help people these days because it's so easy for the ones who don't really need it to take advantage of the kind people trying to make a difference. When I asked business owners for food I always tried to be as private as I could about it. The guy in OP story fucked up by making a scene.
Evan Rogers
>I find something that worked for me, shouldn't be hard for some dumb fuck find something that work for him if he wasn't so lazy
Alexander Martinez
A great advertisement to other hobos too.
If I were guaranteed to never see him again I'd probably have given him free food. I was more worried about seeing him every day.
Matthew Ortiz
Yea there's a lot of corruption here, but surprising there is homelessness where corruption thrives. hopefully this whole oracle chainlink situation will make it more possible to deal with corruption and other problems in the u.s.
Justin Nguyen
>i'm totally different guise even tho i asked for free food just as the homeless man in the op
Typical fuck you i got mine mentality. this is why america is a shithole
Michael Wright
I give away money to homeless guys and I can tell you only a few are willing to swallow their pride and ask for money. Others are too proud to ask for help. It's rather honorable, I feel.
Gabriel Long
If the "normal" people were indeed gathered up and exterminated then maybe this homelessness and stupid bubble in the u.s. would have never happened, someone was in the middle of doing just that but you faggots had to go and cry to the u.s. to stop him. Now look at the world and say you guys made the right decision.
>sheltered Eurocuck manchild thinks he knows anything about the real world We need to disband NATO and let you fend for yourself.
Hudson Bailey
>Do u want to talk about it? Yes >Do u feel your housing situation could be better? No we pay 600 euros rent for a spacious three bedroom house >Do you feel you should be making more money? I'm balls deep into LINK and I feel guilty for making so much actually >Are you in some congested shit hole where the hot water comes and goes as it pleases? I do not understand this sentence but I live in a cold northern European country (it's hot as fuck now though) >Do you drive a beater? Or just stuck taking public transit? No my country has one of the best public transit networks in the world and it is free for me for six years (train included) as I am a student. We use just one digital card for all public transit >Is your dictator giving all the good stuff away to refugees? No actually we are top three in press freedom, democracy, transparancy etc. Sorry man but it just sucks to live in the USA
>Hey I have a plan to eliminate world poverty: let's just kill all poor people.
Joshua Perry
It would work.
David Carter
>the larping hobo is (surprise surprise) a nazi i am shook
Christian Mitchell
Pathologizing the pathologizers now. I fucking hate kikes.
Liam Garcia
It's not like I'm still doing it and advocating being a leech like a lot of those people do. At the end of the day a lot of those people have a choice. They choose to keep the habits that make it hard for them to escape the streets, but the truth is if anyone on the streets really wanted to escape, then its definitely possible, there are all sorts of amazing people willing to help others, the ones who need help only need to ask, and put in a little effort. No ones is going to coddle any of these homeless people like babies. It takes effort on both sides. The ones who purposefully try to game the system for the sake of laziness are the ones who need to be killed.
Kayden Cook
is this how deep your thoughts go on a normal daily basis?
Dominic Gonzalez
You're an idiot who will lose customers.
Liam Torres
Maybe they were right. We would never know now would we?
Thomas Miller
It's not going to happen anytime soon. The first step is that we need to do away with the aberration of democracy and usher in a new era of fascism.
Samuel King
honestly, this was one of the most redpilling things to have occurred to me only persons of a certain coloration would do it, would taint my nice time with me and my lady thought it was beyond reproach
Chase Watson
well if this is your way of reasoning no surprise you were a homeless person. you're either larping or suffering from severe self hatred
Yeah, people willingly choose to sleep in alleyways and eat scraps. Who wouldn't want to live like that. Let me guess you chose to pretend to be a hobo with daddy's money because you were angry at your parents and decided to go back to them when you found how fucked up living like that is, well guess what not everyone has that option.
Chase Evans
Why would you say that I hate myself? You talk so much shit about the u.s. but you sure as fuck dont live here, so what do you really know about our problems guys? I've personally spent time with homeless all across the u.s. not just one city, they are all pretty much degenerates, the number of mentally ill on the streets is much less than what people think it is. Most of them just don't want to work.
Nolan Martin
shh user, nazi's don't actually want to argue their position, they just want to hate because hate is all they know
Ryder Torres
No, my parents are pay check to pay check. I did it because I wanted to see what the world had to offer and I had literally no money to do it. It is fucked up living like that, but I could go back and probably will. I'm involved with investing in LINK because I don't want my dad to have to work until he is 75..
Nathan White
But trust me, if a homeless person really wanted a place to stay to get back on their feet, it is possible, not super easy, but if you talk to enough people, someone will inevitably help you out. If you go live with them and refuse to work and continue to use drugs and alcohol then of course you go back on the streets. There are quite a few people who escape this, but you don't hear of them because they leave it behind them when they finally get some help.
Kevin Jones
Poor people are the filth of this world, you should've kidnapped him and tortured him in your basement. I profoundly hate everyone poor...
Camden Gutierrez
this. There's plenty of opportunities for people to escape the street life, but most of them simply prefer to live like that.
Gavin Peterson
If LINK does really hit 5 figures a token one day, I hope to be able to set up a non profit that could help people get off the streets, all powered and funded by decentralized oracles. It would be the first of it's kind to ever exist.
Robert Cruz
And people in this thread think I'm unethical for wanting to euthanize them
Jaxson Johnson
They should at least be deported to Africa or somewhere remote.
Camden Turner
>talks about muh poor hobo :((( >calls others hobo as an insult ???
Angel Taylor
> on Jow Forums, a place full of people completely devoid of empathy due to childhood trauma / developing personality disorders.
This is so true
I know from experience, especially from social cases people and third world dweller: the more you give, the more they want. OP is an asshole, but sometime it is the asshole who make the right choice. I would probably would have say that my boss (even if i'm the boss), forbid to lend money. I would have told him that i can give him free stuff if he wants, but the meal is impossible, my boss would be angry. Then i would propose to give him some free bread (he probably won't come back an other day just for bread, and he'll still eat tonight).
Kayden Edwards
Give me money, I’m living in poverty.
Colton Bennett
retarded euro redditor’s first day on biz
Julian Jackson
>drugs and alcohol
This is the biggest problem of the homeless.
Jacob Phillips
Move to Scotland or Iceland when you make it. 99.99% white.
Anthony Sanchez
nah...doesnt really matter if you're an asshole. next time they're hungry they've already forgot.
Evan Ross
You ate fucking based my man. A breath of fresh air. So much hate and resentment on this website from emotionally stunted people.
Isaac Murphy
yeah you made the right choice... i've sat down at upscale eateries during peak hours, every table is crammed tight, ordered a gin and tonic, ordered a special, after like 20 or 30 minutes of waiting i walked out, didn't eat, but did drink with out paying the bill. but seriously, i wanted food, i can't remember the actual food i found that night, but i definitely remember i walked out of that establishment. oh yeah i ended up at the bar across the street and ate this broads cunt at her apartment then she gave me a ride to my car in the morning.
Dylan Turner
If they felt bad, why didn't they pay for him?
Lucas Garcia
damn service industry sucks dick... all you're trying to do is cater to customers, and customers are dicks so the worst part is trying to please everybody all the fucking time... it's impossible, but your regulars, they're your best customers, and as the owners, you should talk to the regulars often enough, and make sure they feel at home.
Noah Kelly
You were already willing to compromise by giving him a discount for a smaller meal. A free meal would go out of your paycheck. It is not your duty to give what you have away just because you have more.
Samuel Butler
this is a great question, like seriously... if they fucking cared they'd have bought him a damn dinner.
