How long until people start getting mugged for their free food once the leave the grocery store?

I mean it happens all time when the new Air Jordan's drop.

Free stuff until it runs out.

The other line has as much as you want,but you have to work for it.

“Several shoppers said they were told to leave the area and come back around 1:30 p.m. for another chance — and not to linger on the sidewalk as ticket-holders moved through the store.”

Security guards? Sounds like a private militia. Where are the vaunted NYPD?

That the commies put it in a trendy area is the chef’s kiss.

This story is no different than years of communist rule in all the communist countries that went all in. Most people will never learn.

This was literally predicted to happen the moment Mamdani announced his intention to run. None of them will accept the truth because it is too hard to admit they were wrong or they are to invested in being taken care of by someone or something else.

Taxpayer funded “free stuff” distributed by demonic politicians and their enablers.

NYC spends about $38,000/year/kid on K-12 public education.

NYC puts invaders up in expensive hotel rooms.

Mamdani said that, if the governor doesn’t let him raise the income tax on the wealthy, he will be “forced” to raise property taxes which will ultimately fall on the middle class.

What?

He promised everything would be free.

Welcome to the Soviet Union, folks! It is new toilet paper lines, comrade!

TBF, prices in NYC are quite expensive. In the 00s, I took a number of trips to the New Years get-togethers up there. One year (2003?), I was prowling some of the corridors at Grand Central Station beforehand and saw a nice store with a deli counter. The stuff was quite expensive, but nowadays, those prices are probably what I’m paying at Food Lion in Maryland. Heaven only knows what urban New Yorkers are paying now.

Geez. most of these turds probably have ebt cards. Just pathetic. They voted for the bread line party and that is what they will get. They aren’t ever going to get gourmet groceries for free either.

These pop ups aren’t even Mamdani’s free grocery stores. They were like a temp food bank.

This may be in the article but I ain’t reading all that.

Is New York’s free grocery store still open?

No, New York City’s free grocery store, operated by Polymarket, is not open. The pop-up store, located in the West Village at 137 7th Avenue S, closed on Monday, February 16, 2026, after a five-day run.

"New Yorkers are in pain," Nick from Queens, New York, one of several people Fox News Digital interviewed outside the pop-up, said as he waited to grab pasta sauce, bath soap and a bag of Tide Pods.

Tide Pods and pasta sauce are going to alleviate Nick's pain.

A “Yellow Ticket”?

In Dostoevsky’s “Crime and Punishment” a “Yellow Ticket” was issued by the City of St. Petersburg to indicate that someone was a PROSTITUTE.

New Yorkers have certainly prostituted themselves for “Political Correctness”, and have sold their Birthright for a bit of free food, soap, and Tide-Pods.

He remembered how once he had been walking down a crowded street when a tremendous shout of hundreds of voices women's voices -- had burst from a side-street a little way ahead. It was a great formidable cry of anger and despair, a deep, loud 'Oh-o-o-o-oh!' that went humming on like the reverberation of a bell. His heart had leapt. It's started! he had thought. A riot! The proles are breaking loose at last! When he had reached the spot it was to see a mob of two or three hundred women crowding round the stalls of a street market, with faces as tragic as though they had been the doomed passengers on a sinking ship. But at this moment the general despair broke down into a multitude of individual quarrels. It appeared that one of the stalls had been selling tin saucepans. They were wretched, flimsy things, but cooking-pots of any kind were always difficult to get. Now the supply had unexpectedly given out. The successful women, bumped and jostled by the rest, were trying to make off with their saucepans while dozens of others clamoured round the stall, accusing the stall-keeper of favouritism and of having more saucepans somewhere in reserve. There was a fresh outburst of yells. Two bloated women, one of them with her hair coming down, had got hold of the same saucepan and were trying to tear it out of one another's hands. For a moment they were both tugging, and then the handle came off. Winston watched them disgustedly. And yet, just for a moment, what almost frightening power had sounded in that cry from only a few hundred throats! Why was it that they could never shout like that about anything that mattered?--George Orwell, 1984
