Well, of course that was a lie, but I gave her 2 dollars for 2 happy meals at mac Donalds. She suggested I give her 5 but......thats all I had..


Her 2 kids were running inbetween the cars in the parking lot and I felt that was so wrong.... so I reported them to the landscaping department as I was leaving.

As I was leaving the parking lot I noticed a van with the doors open and spyed 2 car seats in the back seat and a man sitting in the drivers seat playing on a ipad...
I was major duped....

But I still feel so bad for the 2 small kids running in the parking lot...I am sure they had eated today in school on a breakfast/lunch program...I hope...

But they should not be running around in the Walmart parking lot...its a accident waiting to happen....

Sad day... for the youth in this world....
You described the same group ( although there was a second woman included) that approached me about 3 weeks ago as I was getting in my car in front of Jersey Mikes. Two young children along with one of the women pushing a stroller. All of them were barefooted. Said they needed $10 to get their power turned on and they also needed to get the kids something to eat. Said they had just come from St Timothy's Church but it was closed. I chose not to give them any money. As I drove past St Timothy's the parking lots were filled with cars so I assume it wasn't closed.
