There's this red-bearded homeless guy who comes into the Second Cup I work at a lot, he's always really respectful and never asks for money. He just wants to know if we're going to leave the expired food outside when we close, so we always leave it for him. The poor guy just can't seem to catch a break, he was cleaning bathrooms at the Blind Monk for a while but then that place closed and I'm not really sure what he does now. He usually hangs outside of the Mission Safeway and is always really nice.
I'm sure there are many others like him, people who never really got a shot at life and just can't get on their feet.
Then again, we get a lot of hilarious crack addicts coming in. But they just make the time go by a little faster.
