“NTA I WORK AT A FOOD PANTRY AND IT IS EXHAUSTING TO DEAL WITH THOSE PEOPLE. Were not in the dark either on it. We KNOW the hoarders, we recognize you coming back, and (for the food pantry I work at anyways) we have to give you more food unless it’s reported or said otherwise by the person running it. It makes me sick to my stomach that someone runs through and bulks up on cereal, juices, all the good soups, and then when a family who comes in who clearly needs food, we have to give them the crappy leftovers thats gonna expire in three days. Thank you for reporting her. It’s a Corona Christmas and that’s the last thing food pantries need right now.”
