Reply #20: Thing of it is, there must have been dozens of people who passed by her before

I did - for one reason or another, I guess nobody else bought her food.

If you've ever been hungry and didn't know where your next meal was going to come from, then you have an idea of the kind of mental state she must have been in. It was just a double cheeseburger and a banana, but it's food and she was hungry!

But I didn't post this to pat myself on the back, I was making an observation that, while in the past when the economy was good, people would ask for money. Now that times are REALLY bad, people are asking for food. That's a bad indicator, IMO.
