Others will bring their own bags and pile everything in those bags and when confronted they have been know to say "but I am doing you a favor. I am taking things that you would have to throw away". When told they have to put the items back or pay for them, they huff and puff and stick their noses up in the air! One person who no longer will show her face, turned out to try and get things free stating that she really needed the items and then would turn around and sell the items at her own garage sale. This church always has their doors open and want to help people who need it without any questions asked. Of course some people have been known to drive to the food pantry in their brand new BMWs, Audis and Jags and walk out with plenty of food. There are all types of people in this world.

I was chewed out on this board for saying it's rude to go get free food when you don't need it. I would never take it from those who need it. Those people are just wrong but I guess it takes all kinds.
