no need to hammer the business, no need to blame the old guy, just move him around the corner with a coffee and some chilli and all of this would have been avoided
Some people are just plain mean!
- Thread starter JLM
- Start date
some feel the business is completely blameless and justified, others feel the potential employee is at fault, others blame the business
in fact we do not know all of the facts only that some *sshat poured water on a homeless guy and his dog
perhaps he had been told repeatedly to move, perhaps he had not
facts are sketchy
assumptions are high
I don't recall changing the subject at any time, just dealing with other aspects of the subject. How is soaking a homeless man going to improve a person's business? Actually it works in reverse as patrons of that business see first hand just what an A$$hole one of the employees are.
"love it when people make comments about shyte they know nothing about since they didn't live there, didn't have to put up with the fall out"
Gerry, Gerry, Gerry- You're being f**king stupid again not to mention a hypocrite of the first order. How does who one works for diminish his/her wisdom and knowledge? My business happened to be building roads and bridges- what has that got to do with Timmy's?
Is there a less offensive way to get rid of a feral person that won't go away after being asked to leave and quit pestering customers for change?
No doubt but does that give a fairly prosperous person by comparison the right to abuse him? On my walks most days I walk past half a dozen of these guys panhandling, most of them are NOT aggressive (just sit on a bench with their cap out, remaining silent.) I don't contribute to them for two reasons, one it wouldn't do them any good- just encourage dependence and two there is a kitchen within 3 blocks that provides three meals a day, which I do occasionally contribute a paltry amount to. They need food and clothing, not booze and dope.
yes
the guy has a dog that actually stays with him, we both know that with certain street people that would be completely impossible therefore this individual possibly/probably has good reasoning capability
we both also know, some people are just *ssholes and reactive and love to brutalize others that they identify as possible victims
there are not enough details to blame buddy and his dog either
I don't think they are asked to leave in Vernon as they are permanently situated near 3 of the banks and right in front of Shoppers Drug Mart. They don't generally bother me. A month ago a young kid early 20s asked me for change right after the massive snow fall. I said lots of snow shovelling jobs out there. He said "not anymore". I didn't bother to say "Bullsh*t".
Alms for the needy,,,alms for the needy. I think I heard that in a movie once.
