To be fair, Sandwich Man is the real hero. Helping people who are generally ignored by society is humanity in the truest sense.
The fucked up thing is that anon could actually be fired for this.
I was homeless for a bit and there was a woman who worked at Panera who would help me out. A couple times a week, she gave me a day old loaf of bread they were planning to throw out. That bread was like 75% of my daily calories, so she was basically keeping me from starving.
Corporate fired her for giving me the bread instead of throwing it out, then sent someone to confront me and ban me from the store. The guy from corporate gave me a BS line about “liability” when he was kicking me out.
This must be an international thing. I have almost exactly the same experience but as a student. Older lady from the shop got fired as giving dated food was considered liability and stealing.
This is the capitalist way. Makes my blood boil reading stories like this. I'm glad i your doing better and i hope that hero does as well.
Treating people well has good consequences?? WHO'DA THUNK????????
Having a hobo posse on your side is magical. I got cred when a homeless guy saw me stand up to a literal Nazi with a knife harassing ICE protestors. Every time I ran into Bushwhacker, the hobo, he would tell his friends the story of that day, gradually exaggerating the events with every telling.
Al Capone fed the homeless with soup kitchens
And this is the our winner
4chan is still down right?
Been back for a few weeks.
Yep, was down for barely one week.
I lol'd when that article that said that 4chan was never coming back online made the rounds here on Lemmy, then within two days of that article posting it was back up already.
Some say he's still out there, handing out sandwhiches to this day. A silent guardian. The sandwhich man.
Until corporate find out and fire him for theft or stock shrinkage because businesses would prefer to toss stuff out before donating it to people in need.
They'd probably claim liability as a reason not to hand out food. Solution: draft a form waiver for all recipients to sign.
They actually already do. Many grocery stores, when tossing food, require it to be made inedible - bleach or turpentine or something else horrifyingly bad to ingest and strong-smelling gets dumped on it.
Not the hero we deserve…

Small acts of kindness are all it takes to ease someone's life.
A classic, for sure 🫡
Ironically, they stopped him from being brown bread
What?
Cockney rhyming slang. "Brown bread" = dead.
I wouldn't know that if it weren't for Dragon Quest 8 😅
