He'd have had a chat with the manager then and there.

...having experienced similar things.

People are products of their experiences. Help them, but don't hate them until they give you a good reason (like being a MAGAt after all that's come out about the criminality of Trump - at that point, there's willful ignorance happening).

The reason why is that people don't wash their hands. The homeless man is an extreme, but well dressed and socalled upright people are more dangerous to one's health, they take shits and after wiping, walk right out of the restroom to touch whatever.

If they got you to click they did their job. Alexander Hamilton is rolling in his grave. (OK, probably not: it was the equivalent of viciously partisan clickbait in the 1790s too.)

So instead of offering to buy the man a sandwich or alerting the managers that there was an issue if they were that concerned about food safety. They decided to enjoy their $17 meal buffet meal , film him and then disparage him. Way to go Liz and Aaron. I'm sure the bosses at Fox are looking at moving you up from beat reporter to on air reporters soon
