Compassion is good. But she was not the owner of the coffee unless she paid for it. Neither was it very nutritious compared to real food. All she had to do was pay for it. He wasn’t a freeloading cop. Neither was the store owner at all compassionate. I’m glad this young lady now has a new job that is more in line with her feelings toward others. And I hope she will always be safe!
I had a nice clerk pay for my kids’ candy bars at a store once after he had informed me they “no longer take checks” (and I had no cash or cards on hand). Thanks guy, wherever you are!
