Me and my brother went shopping around DTSF. I needed to use the restroom to take a leak. As we were leaving the bathroom i see a homeless man with a chinese to go box. He looked inside of it and ask a chinese man if the food he found in the trash was teriyaki chicken or some other sort. in my mind i was like wtf did he really ask that question. The Chinese man ignore him and left. Normally i do not help homeless people because they might use the change i give them on alcohol or something. At the same time my money was short so we left, i took a second to think about his situation and went back and ask him if he was hungry. The closes thing to chinese food was panda express lol so we went there. I told him you can buy whatever you want on the menu. Instead of buying a 3 entree combo he chose the 2 entree with rice combo. I was asking him questions like where does he stay and he was kind of embarrass to answer. before we parted ways i wanted to shake his hand as a sign of respect. I did not want him to feel like i looked down upon him because he was homeless. I could tell he didnt want to get my hands dirty, so he rolled his fingers and shook my hands. of course i washed my hands afterwards but it was a very humbling experience for me. Till this day, i try to find him when im downtown so i can buy him some food.
