| - I just want to make it clear, before I keep moving forward with this review, the cashier, Taylor, was sweet and did her job just fine, but as for the manager or lead who was overseeing the shift (Tuesday, February 27th at 10 am), I have a bone to pick with you - and my apologies for not catching your name. As a person of the younger generation, I constantly hear about how we're "lazy and entitled", well, glass breaker for the older generations - you LACK compassion to the point where you radiate negativity, cause anxiety, and have someone voice their experience of your behavior and give you a bad review for your "business". There is more in this world than just "business" - there's a bigger picture, it's called Life. If I want to buy some food for someone clearly living in poverty, who has armfulls of plastic bags they've accumulated from off of the streets due to other's negligence, a hat made from ripped paper bags and tape, and looks like they could use a shower - let me do it, in peace. Do not approach them and tell them they can not be there just because they look different on the outside. They were going to pay for food but didn't have enough for all the things they wanted. So of course I stepped up. What you COULD have done was approach BOTH of us, thanked me for taking care of another human being rather than alienating them and assure both of us that our patronage was appreciated. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Ms. Manager/Lead, I don't care what your religion is, I don't care how much you volunteer outside of work, I don't care about your charity contributions - your public behavior was disrespectful to TWO human beings all for the sake of "business". You completely disregarded me, and attacked the idler. What happened to 'paying it forward'? What happened to taking care of each other? What happened to just being nice? Or is that only around the Holidays? As a human, I'm sick of the lack of compassion for 10 months out of the year, and two months of false-giving. GIVE ALL THE TIME. You can't take your wealth with you. Share it. Please let this be a lesson that all ears are listening, all eyes are watching, and I hope when I grow older, my heart doesn't shrink like yours clearly has. I understand you do have a "business" to run, but c'on, cut against the grain once in a while and be respectful to all unless they clearly do not deserve it. Being a bum doesn't mean you treat them with disrespect. You don't know what battles they're fighting.
