“(This model) takes away the sting of embarrassment for a parent who maybe feels that way because they can’t feed their kid,” Paisley said. “The kids should not know what their parent is going through. That’s not stress a child needs.”

I wonder how many parents with thousand dollar cell phones will take advantage of this idiot.

I hope it’s a lot.

I can’t feed my children, but what I really feel bad about is that I cannot scan items and hear a “beep!” at the register. If only I could hear that “beep!”, everything would be all better for my children!

Kimberly Williams Paisley has always had the rare "girl-next-door" beauty...well, at least since her series, "According To Jim". Appears to be a nice person, too and not a Hollyweirdo.

This’ll work as well as the “Panera Cares” stores did, once the bums and freeloaders get its address. Perfect example of how to take a large amount of money, and turn it into a small amount of money.

Good recipe to go broke. They will be overrun by all types when the word free stuff gets out there.

[rktman]

And, no one will take advantage of his largess right?

[I want the USA back]

This will fail. If it is such a good idea, why aren’t all stores “free”?

Why not give away things free? Why not give a guaranteed basic income to all? Why not free college?

Because you have to have people working productively to produce the goods and money. Those people aren’t eligible for the “free” things. They are stupid to keep working to produce things that are given to those who don’t work. Keep it up, and no one is working and everyone is grabbing free things.

This will fail as all liberal ideas do.

I am reminded of something my grandfather said - “Good thing food costs money ‘cause otherwise, we would have too many fat people.”

And my grandfather was a farmer.

Sounds like the guy who paid all his employees $70,000 because it was a fair living wage ... ans went broke in a few months.

[Osage Orange]

What could go wrong?

Better double up on those Nationwide Insurance commercials with Peyton Manning.

“The kids should not know what their parent is going through. That’s not stress a child needs.”

Yeah, my family grew up rather poor. Hint: we kids knew. When buttered toast is your dinner for days at a time, you kinda put two and two together. It didn't matter. We were still happy.

[Secret Agent Man]

Well if they are paying for it and not taking govt money, if it makes them feel good, ok.

If they are virtue signalling or expecting govt help or that others ought to do it, they’re idiots.

Every “country” star in Nashville wants to be the second coming of Roosevelt.

[JimRed]

Will they have to PROVE A NEED, like concealed carry applicants in New jersey?

[ConservaTeen]

Interesting...I hope it will succeed...

He should pay the customers to take the food.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Country star Brad Paisley broke ground on a grocery store that will offer free items to people in need.

So how do they determine people are in need? Or is this store just free for every person that comes in?

It will be located on the school’s campus and operate like a regular grocery store, except when people scan items no money is exchanged.

On campus? So is it student-accessible only, or open to the whole community? And if no one pays, what is the point of scanning items? Inventory control, sure, but if everyone gets freeshit, why are they going to bother scanning it all? That's sure not gonna last long...

“(This model) takes away the sting of embarrassment for a parent who maybe feels that way because they can’t feed their kid,” Paisley said. “The kids should not know what their parent is going through. That’s not stress a child needs.”

Um, not that many college students have kids. And when they do, they're generally not old enough to really understand the concept of a grocery store, much less paying for the stuff vs just walking out with it. Unless, of course, this place is open to the public, but then does the college really want a bunch of homeless hanging out? Freebies tend to attract not just the needy, but also the other lowlifes that don't care about others. Unless there's a heavy police presence around, you're going to start seeing a decent uptick in general crime around campus...
