I know inflation is bad but up until the last 3 weeks I have never straight up been asked to pay for someones food like this.
Walmart - Woman was standing near the self-checkout line but not in the line, asked me if I had cashapp to help buy food because she was hungry. She only had one of those precooked meals from the deli in her hand so I said I don't have cashapp but can pay for that at checkout.
Aldi - I am walking inside the store and am in that space where they have the sanitizer/weekly ads when a woman runs up and clutches my cart
Gives me the sob story but I keep it moving because I was heated with how she approached me
And yesterday I took one of my older relatives out who doesn't drive to get her some groceries at the nearby Food Lion. While we are there I notice a younger tall lanky breh moving awkward as we shop.
At checkout me and my aunt are in the left checkout aisle and this guy is in the right. He says excuse me in a timid tone and asks if I can help because hes short. I ask how much and he says the total is $20. I ask him how much he has, says $12. Since I was already out to pay for my aunties groceries anyway I said I could cover the difference and handed the cashier $10, dude was eyeballing my wallet because I had $75 in there. As we were leaving dude was walking weirdly back into the aisles with the bagged up groceries.
On top of that people standing at the streetlight intersections becoming more aggressive, dude threw a fit because I wouldn't roll my window down a couple weeks back. By summer they going to make it mandatory you buy their water and tip for cleaning their windshield.
The recession is here but the media acting like everything good because masks came off, y'all not going to catch me slipping like 2008
