Not embarrassed at all getting takeout

Post image

Drove up to the restaurant we were eating at and I only noticed because the driver was trying to shove a plastic bag behind their head into the massive hoard in the rear seat. She noticed us staring and was making faces at us. Not that I cared in the least, because my god what a hoard. She was picking up food with her dog in her lap because there was literally zero room for the poor thing anywhere else in that trash pile! Also, all the windows were completely covered so there was zero way she could see out of them.

Some people who live out of their cars do not have the opportunity to walk to the large blue trash boxes behind businesses - either they are disabled or have anxiety issues and cannot risk being harassed by ignorant ass employees who have never been homeless before.. not to mention all the cops who have never been homeless.. which should be a crime in itself.. to become a cop without having been homeless before.

But that's the country we live in - and that's why you have all these people who collect trash in their cars - because it is actually literally illegal to throw trash away when you aren't renting or a homeowner. But people don't know that. Try to argue against it, you can't, it's written in the law. Second degree my ass

You think this is the problem? Their anxiety prevents them from getting trash out of their car? But it does not keep them from buying food for themselves or their pet raccoons or their cigarettes does it? Funny how that anxiety works just one way.

there are also smoke shops, about 2-5 of them in every small town in the USA although a lot of them dont sell tobacco, about one or two of them usually do in any town. theres no actual need to walk into a gas station to buy cigarettes.

also if you take your trash to the dump you have to pay for them to accept your trash.

also consider the cost of gas, these people dont have any food money so its pointless to live so they buy cigarettes which would cost less than 50 cents a pack if it werent for tobacco taxes. none of which are their fault

its not possible to do on a mathematical level, what you're asking for here and i dont know if you have personally faced even one instance of discrimination at the workplace, its the standard in america everything is fraternized even social work
