"It's OK, people like you are welcome here."

[Omphaloskepsis]

WTF? I just went out to grab a half-rack and decided to grab some chicken nuggets and fries at the local Wendy's. It was about ten minutes until they closed the lobby. After working at a place that really hates people that come in right before closing I asked if it was alright if I grabbed a bite. She said, "It's OK, people like you are welcome here." WTF, sure I'm not dressed up right now. I had a beanie on and old pants. An old scarf and hoodie. I'm clean, shaved this morning, fuck I even plucked my brow(unibrow). On my way out she told me of a coffee shop that would let me stay all night. Thanks!

I'm sure she thought she was being helpful to this homeless guy that paid for his dinner (2.28$) at Wendy's with his VISA card. Jesus, I feel bad for the real homeless this girl serves.

1. You asked for free food.

What do you expect?

[Omphaloskepsis]

2. I paid with my VISA.. She thought I was homeless when I walked in.

4. From an objective point of view . . .

. . . . When you said, "Is it okay if I grab a bite", she should have thought you were homeless. You didn't say "I'd like some chicken nuggets and some fries." In addition, you obviously looked like a homeless person.

She was probably surprised when you pulled out a credit card, which she probably assumed was stolen.

If he lived here, he'd probably be strung up in a butcher shop.

19. You're not very nice.

3. Don't take it personally. Just be glad there's a Wendy's

that treats homeless people like human beings. :thumbsup:

[Floogeldy]

5. Is there anything like a Wendy's in your physical world?

:(

[Heidi]

8. Yes.

There are two McDonald's within 20 minutes of my house. I'll see your :( and raise you a :puke:

[Floogeldy]

9. The trick is to order a Big Mac with extra cheese.

That way, they are supposed to make it fresh.

[Heidi]

10. It's an even better trick

when you order it in Italian. Alas, I don't know that trick. :cry:

[Floogeldy]

13. "Big Mac, ancoro pezzo grosso"

:)

[Heidi]

15. I don't know what I'd do without you.

Bacio. :*

6. People really do treat you differently based on dress

12. 'People like you' strikes me as potentially offensive

Within my lifetime, that same sentence could've been said to a black person — and likely was.

Why not just "You're welcome here"? Or nothing at all but normal service?

But perhaps I'm being too sensitive.

16. Awww, what a nice girl. Granted she jumped to the wrong conclusion, but

she was so NICE about it!

Sounds like a liberal to me... She gets 2 thumbs up for a good, kind attitude! We need more people like HER!

18. *g* Why does that anger you?

I shop at a little supermarket every day, buying carrots and bananas for the horses and what little I need. Always I'm wearing my stable clothes which are very old and almost never clean. Sometimes I pay with my bank card but I know the people who work there must think I'm poor. They even give me blackish bananas (the best!) for the horses sometimes and I don't have to pay which they are not allowed to do! I don't care WHAT ANYBODY thinks of my appearance as long as I feel comfortable with it.
