most customers don't seem to mind our homeless community (some of them are homeless) but one elderly man today could not seem to handle that there are homeless people on the street we are located on. He ranted on and on in his white suit and fedora hat about how unsightly it was and how they shouldn't be allowed. He continued to complain didn't want to leave the desk until i called the police did (i didn't). Sometimes i egg these people on, agree when I actually don't or get a little entertainment mainly because i am bored but today i just didn't have the energy. really? does it matter that there are homeless people sleeping outside? did it hurt your experience at our location? are you unable to purchase our products because someone is sleeping outside? knowing our location they might be passed out in a drug-induced stupor and i know it can be unsightly but frankly, i am so tired and so grateful that when i am too tired to keep my eyes open another second i have a bed to climb in. if you spent a quarter of the effort you put into harassing me into helping someone else they might not have to sleep sprawled out in front of our store entrance.
at least the next guy was nice, who overheard the older man and responded with "what an asshole". yep my sentiments exactly
