Low Life's Or Desperation

[nailit]

Have to pick up foodbank collections from local supermarket donation points around my city.
Have a rota whereby we pick up fortnightly from each location. However we have been asked by several supermarkets to pick up as often as possible as people are taking (stealing) from them.

WHY?

The supermarkets might be struggling on certain items but not tin stuff etc.

[woofgang]

maybe its those people who are self employed and desperate

Some people will stop at nothing, the homeless need as much help as they can get, especially now.

[AuntPollyGrey]

They are struggling with tinned stuff. Tinned stuff is what people buy when they stock up.

[AuntPollyGrey]

Homeless people don't have access to foodbanks I don't think so anyway.

They do if they have a voucher.

Different stories appearing everywhere - some have seen donations increase, others have seen a fall in donations and of course opportunists and thieves are always around.

[AuntPollyGrey]

If they are homeless how do they prepare their food? Or do they just eat it cold?

Defo a fall here in Stoke Mamy,
However all our local TK MAXX have donated their stock to us.

Eat it cold, ring pull cans etc. All accommodated for APG.

NHS workers are being mugged for their ID badges and their cars are being targeted by vandals.

Disasters like this bring out the very best in some people and the very worst in others.

We applaud our goodness on here, but look at ALL the evidence, people have evil hearts.
The mystery is why there is goodness in the world.
Most people stink.

[nailit]

//Most people stink//
I think that MOST people Dont.
A few do, MOST dont.

[alavahalf]

No need to get involved in mugging if you need NHS ID..

You know the answer Nails. Do the homeless usually steal from such donation points? The truly homeless have nowhere to take this stuff to, and do not have the transport to carry heavy or large items. There are reports Nails that, in our home City, donations are actually holding up under the pressure. Lou Macari(God truly bless him) is as ever that the inherent good in the area will prevail. The brass turds should have their kin arms cut off when caught.

[Neveracrossword]

Theland, not for the first time … your assertions are unfounded. 'Most people stink' - nonsense. 'People have evil hearts' - should be 'some people have evil hearts.' I don't know what the 'we applaud our goodness on here' refers to, maybe you could expand on that?
