Taco Bell isn't a social services organization. All this fake indignation is getting to be a bit much.
With 29 agencies providing services to assist people on the street, Louisville isn't lacking in volunteer opportunities and ways to help the homeless. But then dear Ms. Gridley would have been only one volunteer among many.
I'm really not a fan of these grandstanding attempts at 'social charity.' It was indeed about her
This isn't the first time things like this has been done, and it's usually accompanied by self congratulatory social media posts about what a great person you are.
Think about it from the restaurant and other customer's perspectives. A bunch of homeless people aren't the most hygienic of groups.
Restaurants need to have signs banning such stunts happening in their businesses.
Pretty sure that in itself is reason enough to feed a person for a day...so they can have the energy to make it thru. But hey...Lets go with your idea of waiting thirty days or more and see who still has hunger pangs...
The audacity that some "assume" homeless folks have no civil manners is beyond pathetic. I know poverty ....so I take offense that its assumed most are without manners. Manners just dont fly out the window based on the persons economic stance. ALthough I do know some well to do that have little manners when scoffing at the homeless trying to survive.
Ohh do tell....What secret thing do homeless do in bathrooms?? Inquiring minds want to know!
break or steal things, or leave feces on the floor. This has happened. Of course not all homeless do this, but some do, & it only takes one bad apple.
Maybe the employees heard about the homeless woman who stuck a needle in a Taco Bell employee a few months ago.
According to the article not all of the 20 people got food. Instead of virtue signaling, had the woman ordered the food and delivered it to them, they would have. Of course, then she wouldn't have had to notify WHAS.
Stay tuned, though. She said next time, she's taking them to McDonald's.
She was ringing her bells and her drums.....

If she'd stuck with the initial three guests, almost certainly none of this drama would've happened.

No, "Manners just dont fly out the window based on the persons economic stance", but the chronically homeless are often in that situation for reasons beyond simple lack of money, and manners do just fly out the window when your mind is no longer all there.

Bathe.
Oh, and laundry -- I once walked in on a guy standing in front of the sink, barefoot, washing his socks with the hand soap.
A woman in Louisville, Kentucky, is accusing a local Taco Bell of kicking her and a group of homeless people out as she was buying them dinner.
Shannon Gridley’s attempt at a random act of kindness began Tuesday night when she was driving under an overpass and she noticed three people sitting nearby.

they pee/crap all over the place. they put random junk in the toilet. they break things intentionally. they can be extremely foul smelling and leave the bathroom smelling like them.
people who are fortunate to not have to deal with this are probably totally ignorant about the problems with letting homeless people use your facilities.

If this lady didn't take the homeless to Taco Bell that day I doubt they would starve. Like I said, I think it's more for the ego of the buyer than really helping the homeless. To be clear, I'm aware that NOT ALL homeless people have no manners and exhibit bad behavior in situations like this. However, I will say that the homeless are far more likely to cause problems when you let them use the restrooms in places like Taco Bell. Do you disagree with my last statement? If YOU worked at that restaurant would you let homeless people use the bathroom there? Sure, a lot, maybe even most would not cause any trouble but compared to other customers, the likelihood is far greater of the homeless causing trouble.
I wish these narcissist social media 'heroes' would stop inconveniencing the rest of the general public.
If these people truly want to help the homeless or do a kind deed for them, then buy the food in the store and then give it to them outside, along with directions to the nearest homeless shelter and help resources for them.
