With all the food banks, food stamps, welfare, unemployment, church charities, school supply charities, etc etc, this guy thought it was a good idea to steal from the IGA? Want to bet this wasn’t even close to the first time?
Good poinr - so I checked, having woked in MT once upon a time.
The one food bank in town is out of chow - check their web site.
Maybe you could send them a check, being flush and all

Did see a part-time church based outfit trying to help, they could likely use a check as well.
You are always an ass.
stuff it = unless, that is, you are personally aware of the person and his situation and circumstances - otherwise, you don’t know. you just think you do.
I believe the officer can distinguish between a run-of-the-mill thief, and a person in genuine distress. I’ve seen a lot of scams in my former occupation, but recognized when someone was sincerely in need of help.
I worked at an institution that provided daily meals for clients, who were mostly mentally ill, ex cons, and drug addicts. Once a woman was there, dressed to the max, with a little boy. She was told that underage kids were not allowed in. I went to the kitchen, fixed them meals to go, along with a food bag. The woman cried, and said she was so embarrassed to not have food. Crap happens to people all the time, and if you have the means, you help, or get out of the way.
Give a man food and he eats for a day. Theft is not an option IMO.
I cant speak for the man’s situation. But, there are alot of working poor who are not eligible for services. Maybe they make just enough to get by, but God forbid the car breaks down or you have to miss a day of work.
You can’t fool me, I know that that is you mac daddy.
Just can’t stand for someone else to be the center of anyones attention.
Still you maybe right.
I note that he had a working phone. Since phone is the first thing cut off if you don't pay the bill either his priorities are out of order or there is something missing from the story.
