Last night I was at stop and shop a rare occasion but it was on my way to a friend’s house and they had cheap fruit. When I pulled into the parking lot I noticed a less fortunate man with a shopping cart full of his belongings and a sign that I could not understand? After I got my discounted fruit and was checking out I remembered the man in the parking lot, and thought maybe I should try not being selfish for a minute and get him some food, the closest thing to the check out counter was bananas or candy …bananas seemed like a better healthier choice. So off I went, as I drove by the man I rolled down my window and handed him the bananas...Much to my surprise he had a disappointed look on his face…Why you ask? Well he explained to me that he was really just after money not food …Whowhat! (Is what I said in my head?) I was a little shocked to say the least. When did this rate go up?? The less fortunate no longer accepts food but would rather have a cash deposit? A little disgruntled by this I replied “I don’t have cash (The truth) but at least you won’t go hungry.” With an unsatisfied look and a sideways head nod he sighed and put the bananas in his basket. Not knowing what else to say or do and a little embarrassed my kind offering was rejected I put my car in drive and drove away. As you can tell I’m totally over this rejection
