I remember the backlash Amy D. (Tightwad Gazette) got when she said she went to breakfast buffets in hotels and stashed muffins in her bag for lunch. Same idea.
What makes this mentality even worse is that many food pantries are stretched really thin right now. Besides donations being down and additional demand from the current economic situation. So people not in need taking stuff, really doesn’t sit well with me.
