They didn’t think you were homeless. They correctly saw you struggle to buy a 10 dollar pizza with change from your pockets.
Most people will use a 20 or a card.
Yeah, you didn’t “need” the help, but that helped you nonetheless.
Also I know this isn’t OP so my breath is wasted, but people need to realize you don’t need to be homeless to be in a rough spot. You can be working poor.
Capitalism ho!
What did you call me?
Do you sell your body 40 hours a week?
NO, YOU PATHETIC SUB-HUMAN. I AM A CAPITALIST AND I CONTROL THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION. YOU WILL BOW DOWN BEFORE ME OR RISK INCURRING THE FURTHER WRATH OF MY DEVASTATING CAPS LOCK /ml
Recettear is such a good game
The worst thing about Recettear is that it’s a unicorn. I want more games like it.
I was hoping potionomics was gonna be it, but nah. Its a great game but, not in the way recettear is
Hey hey people.
Or they really didn’t want to count $5 in change.
Probably a bit of both. Empathy and laziness are amazing when they can both happen at once.
For sure
Happened to me in college at the dollar store. Had like 10 things and only quarters. Went back the next day to get 10 more things with those quarters I saved
At this point just keep going back every week, eventually they’ll get used to you and you’ll be the “Tuesday homeless free pizza” guy. Free pie is free pie, 4 of em a month is like a 5% income increase on minimum wage where I’m from
He probably did not think anon was homeless, a lot of food and retail workers and owners just want to help you get what you need and go.
Go back and tip them, but maybe shower first next time.
Similar thing happened to me waiting for a Grayhound. The pick up spot was at a gas station that had a field next to it. I decided to lie down. Some guy walked up to me and handed me $10.
Did you keep it?
Yes
Something similar happened to me. When I was walking home from high school I found a quarter on the ground. I was craving potato salad so I went to a deli and asked them for a quarter’s worth of it (they sold by weight). The guy at the counter looked really pensive and then was like “you know what, take it for free”. He definitely thought I was a homeless teenager. I lived a block away and had for over a decade, and I went there all the time. Super awkward.
I would pay them back generously the next time I can if this happened to me. Businesses where I’m from refuse to help even if you were $0.25 short from the total
Nobody carries quarters in 2024.
