There are some greedy, selfish barstewards around.

Near us there is an estate of bungallows for the elderley. A couple (who are both 80ish) have set up a trestle table outside. Their son collects "sell by" food and drinks from supermarkets and puts it out for 'needy' people to help themselves.
It's on our normal 2 mile walk.
Yesterday we noticed there were 7 bags of nice red potatoes.
As we were passing a car pulled up, a middle aged woman got out, shoved all 7 bags in her car and drove off.
The gentleman told us that last week, one day he put out 22 x 2 ltrs of water. A car pulled up, a young guy got out and shoved all 22 bottles in his car.
Another day he put out 22 x 2 M&S custard tarts. Same story.... a woman pulled up and took all 44 custards.
Males me feel sad/angry/disgusted ......dreadful attitude from those people.

Sounds like you'll have to get there earlier.

That's the way of the world unfortunately

 

[Electric_Andy]

Yes, trouble is that puts people off from giving things away or trying to do anything charitable. The only way around it I guess would be to put out just 1 of each item and replenish when it's gone

 

[EltonFrog]

There has been some quite horrid behaviour in last ten weeks or so, it is quite depressing. I don't suppose it was any different before but it's been highlighted more recently.

 

[Mo1959]

No doubt the offenders were the same sort of people that totally cleared shelves of toilet roll, hand sanitiser, etc at the start of this.

 

[gavroche]

And that's why I much prefer animals to people. The human race is horrible, greedy, selfish, violent, perverted, destructive, and devoid of respect for nature.
Of course, there are exceptions , but overall, we are not very nice.

 

[Cycleops]

Shame but I believe it’s all to do with people’s upbringing. Unfortunately the attitude passed down is often look after yourself, me first second and last.

 

[numbnuts]

Welcome to the real world

 

[craigwend]

Let's focus on the couple's and sons actions rather than the ones abusing it....

TBH Dirk we walk past there at least once a week. All we ever took was a loaf of bread for MrsDs aunty.
I do realise you were joking.
Wern't you?

Apart from that we are ok though

I think thats a valid point.
eg we were both brought up to never never leave litter. If we cant find a bin we take it home. So different to many people today.

That's a relief - i read the thread title and thought it was about me!

You may be greedy
You may be selfish
You may be a barsteward
But I wouldn't say you are a greedy, selfish barsteward
