Five homeless people hanging out here at McDonald's/Walmart
The thing that bothers me most is the litter. I'm sure that's what bothers the business owners most as well. Empty cans of spaghetti o's, drink cups, McDonald's bags, etc.
So I walk up to them and offered them each a bottle of water and a Hershey's bar. I tell them that the businesses around here don't hassle us, they don't call the cops on us, and there are at least 20 other homeless people that sleep here every night. I tell them that the least we can do is pick up our trash and not run out our welcome.
I wasn't condescending, I called them all sir, and they agreed. So I hand them a trash bag and politely asked them to clean up all the trash around them and they did. It was an uplifting experience.
