There doesn’t seem to be many Christians on FR anymore
This is similar to what happened to the closest grocery store near me. I didn’t like going there after awhile.
That is unbelievable. In the one I saw, I didn’t see how people could get to the place without walking a gauntlet.
If there was a passage on the sidewalk, it had to be a very thin one.
And I wouldn’t do it for a gallon of milk. It looked unpleasant at best, and unsafe at worst. I would go somewhere else.
Next, the local Leftists who voted for this complained about evil corporations creating food deserts.
Otherwise how do they know who the food if for? Any why? They might take it as contributing to loitering
I think a Tic Tok attention getter from a local “university”, as outlined in the article.
Hey-she got her 15 minutes of fame. I am going to guess she isn’t a business major who will be opening a store when she graduates.
Look on Tic Tok for her next video clip on “food deserts”.
Sadly , our younger generations have been programmed that Christianity is a cult and God in the sky idea,,, time for some miracles I’d say , prayers up ! Blessings your way!
“It was somewhere in California”
Makes sense then. Their laws are not business friendly.
That is what is called a “normal reaction”.
My sisters ran an insurance agency in a medium size New England town on the main street. Every morning they would have to wake and move the homeless woman from their entrance, and then wash the pee and crap from the pavement she left them. Every morning.
What needs to happen is this...
Business owners need to get together and make it clear they are either going to stop paying taxes on that portion of property, or start charging the local municipality rent for “public use” of their property. Even if it is down to how many hours they are open per year as prorated.
Home owners too, for your front yard set back up to your front door they falsely clan as public access.
A real miracle would have been this Leftist college student walking to another store a few feet away and buying something for the homeless person, instead of making a Tic Tok video to self-aggrandize themselves.
I don’t blame the good patrons for feeling harassed and paranoid with endless cameras, video feeds and added inconveniences like randomly locking carts, electronic tags that fail to deactivate, etc.
I shop where I feel free to shop, where it looks like someone cares about store conditions. I won’t shop in an environment that feels oppressive.
Publix is good for the most part. Target too. Even in sketchy areas they are usually relatively reliable.
Walmart is too often looking like a war zone, reminding me of when Gemco closed doors in the late 80s. Generally stores are creatures of their community. A community wealth gap is not an excuse for bad behavior and uncleanliness. It’s the community’s fault for tolerating the drugs and violence and organized retail crime.
Retailers and their employees can only do so much. Their jobs become triage and it’s demoralizing. They need the communities to help maintain conditions when it comes to trash or leaving unwanted product to spoil. I never remember a commissary looking like walmart.
I know, it’s GoFundMe, but just adjust the “tip” to be $1 or $0 since they ban most conservative causes, make them pay, but not the cause:

Not all homeless are parasites, as some have suggested, and the way things are going more and more undeserving people are going to be homeless through no fault of their own.
This man was sincerely asking for food, not money for drugs or alcohol.
“There doesn’t seem to be many Christians on FR anymore”
Sadly it sure seems that way
Amen to that.
35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
