I was at a sandwich shop in town. Something happened and they messed up my sandwich. They said "want a remake?" and, well, please. I'm particular. "Want this one?" Yeah, as I'll bring it home for the wife. But wait: on the way to the train I see a pair huddled in a doorway, just being. "Free sammich? Just from there, I swear it's good, but it's extra. You want?" Yeah, they wanted it.

Felt good not to waste it.

I feel totally okay with buying a poor guy lunch if he wants it. My family was poor, I'm okay now, I have no pride and I like food; I assume Buddy is the same way. If so, free lunch. Woo!

I don't like giving money to people. I DO like giving money to the food bank, as they can leverage the fuck out of it and the dollar goes further for more people. I don't give food to the food bank, as whatever I buy to give for them is nowhere near as good as me giving that money to them directly.
