In reply to the discussion: This Man Used His Unlimited Olive Garden Pasta Pass To Feed The Homeless {IMAGES} [View all]CherokeeDem
(3,736 posts)Olive Garden gave the man an unlimited free pass. If he chose to pick up a meal then throw it in the trash that was his prerogative. I think he started out like any of us... glad to have free food. I don't know about you but things are pricey in my grocery store, and I would appreciate it. But he soon realized the company expected he'd have no more than a meal or two a day, or even week, and they'd come out smelling like the corporate greedy bastards they are.
But this guy caught on. He couldn't eat that much and it was not always convenient to feed his friends. He did what most people would do who are not volunteers at heart, he wondered what he could do with this food and had an epiphany, he could feed the homeless. Likely, to this man, what he did may be something he didn't do or consider everyday, and he may and should be proud of himself.
I don't remember seeing how this act of kindness was made known to the press but so what if he told them himself. So what if he filmed it or one of his friends was with him and filmed it. He fed some people who may have not eaten that day. Stop deciding what he should have done and thank him for what he did. I dare to say he did in those few days more than a lot of people have done.
