Rant.

I occasionally go to a local fast food restaurant for lunch. Every time I'm there, I see these urban dwellers that come in, buy a burrito and ask for a water glass (free). They then walk over to the soda machine and fill up with the soda of their choice. Lately, I see them bring in their own cup, skip the food, and fill up directly with soda. I look at them and know that I’m paying for their petty theft. I never say anything but it ticks-me-off to no end. The place knows it happens and does nothing about it. I know we’re only talking pennies but the principle ticks me off.

I just want to confront them but know that no one really cares so what good will it do. The same can be said for the pan handlers that litter our city. People give these people money on a regular basis. I think, get a freaking job. And then I realize; that is their job. They take tax free money from folks.
