Hello @done, I hope you find yourself well. Every day I read more about the story of little John I am more surprised at your capacity for tolerance with people who live in that situation. Yesterday I remembered you because at the doors of my business a boy approached about 25 years old, he was indigent and smelled bad, for a moment I wanted to take him out of the establishment but I took a break, breathed and left him alone, then my wife offered him bread and coffee to which he agreed with pleasure, but he was still standing there. What worried me most was that this boy, besides his condition, also suffered from mental problems, so it was going to be difficult to talk him in a civilized way, so I took another breath in spite of his smell and sat down. After two minutes this boy had left the establishment. That's why I tell you that you have a great capacity to deal with people like that, I think I'm not very good at it. I congratulate you. I hope the sixth part of this story, maybe I can learn to relate to this type of people.

That was very kind of you. I am glad he was able to eat. Those actions are remembered!
There are many times that someone poor walks into a restaurant and starts asking for money while people are eating. Many times they are removed from the establishment before asking several people. In cases like that, I have invited the poor to have a seat and order something. Oddly enough, fifty percent of them do not want food, but only money for drugs and alcohol.
The ones that do accept my offer are able to have food that they like, something to drink and move on. The owners of the restaurant are not very happy with me when i do that but some places where they know me don't mind. I tip well.
