I'm in the city and want to go to a local bakery to get an apple turnover. I stay away from pastries usually but this one bakery is particularly good at it. The problem is it's in a really bad part of town with homeless (druggies) nearby. The druggies and poor locals come in occasionally to buy a single cookie or donut with some change.
I'm standing in line and a young man walks in, sores on his face, scabs, with a handful of change.
I tell him: "hey buddy, get whatever you want, I got you covered".
young man: "Thanks sir" He says to the lady "I'll have a donut"
me: "get more if you want, I got you covered"
young man: "I'll have a coffee too, black"
(bakery lady is preparing getting the donut and coffee)
me: "be careful out there, I hear there is fentanyl in the drugs"
young man: "yeah it's rough, you gotta watch out"
(he gets his coffee and donut)
young man: "thanks, I appreciate it, here you go" (offers the change in his hands)
Me: "no that's okay, keep it"
He leaves, I get my turnover, and I'm on my way. I feel bad that he most likely used the money to buy drugs. Hopefully he is doing better somehow.
