In Orlando a few weeks ago, I’m headed into a Winn Dixie on Orange Blossom and a guy hits me up for money. I asked him if he was hungry, he said yes. I bought some food, left the store and handed him the bag. He was very grateful, thanking me. As I drove away, I saw him go back into the store with the bag. I didn’t know you could return groceries.
Actually, I’ve bought food for people several times but I’ve never witnessed them eating it.
I think I would have gone back into the store to see what he did with the food.

In Orlando, on Colonial Drive around 1988-89 or so in my pre-cell phone days, I have to stop at a convenience store to make a call at the bank of pay phones that were outside the store.
Guy approaches asking for money as he was hungry and had just been released from jail the day before (points for honesty). I told him to follow me into the store, where I told him to pick out what he wanted to eat (from the ready-to-eat hot area). He had a tear roll down his face as he thanked me.
Fast-forward to 2014...so many scams in my little corner of GreenAcres that we see the same people hustling high traffic areas and parking lots all the time.
