So right now BF and I are both back in university. Neither of us have time to work as much as we'd like. (Acutally, right now I am on my teaching placement so while I am working full hours, I don't get paid which kinda cuts out the option for other work) So the university run food bank has been a godsend for months when we just can't make ends meet.
Today we went to get food to hopefully last us for the next three weeks until I am out of placement and can go back to my paying job. The protocol is pretty simple. Show up, if you're new give the volunteers your info, get a number then sit your butt down, eat the cookies they put out and wait until you are called. Most people are pretty chill, considering the volunteers work really hard and it can take them a while to get ready. And the actual room where the food is is really small so they can only call people two at a time.
Today was actually the only time I have met nasty people there. I was picking BF up from the food bank after I finished teaching. When I tried to walk in there was a large group of twenty-somethings outside the door yelling and cussing. They were, apparently, mad at having to wait since they'd showed up late to register. The whole time we were waiting they were cussing, yelling and blocking people from getting in the door.
When we left, BF told me they'd been rude to the staff and tried to start fights with many of the people who were coming in to get food.
Ugh. These volunteers are working on their own time, and we're getting free darned food to help us through hard times and you are complaining that much? Way to make the day unpleasant for all of us.
I tried to be extra smiley to the volunteers.
