Foodbank - 3 cars

503 replies

TalkToTheHand123 · 17/08/2025 00:11

Am I being unreasonable to think a family with 2 cars and a big fancy house shouldn't be using foodbanks regularly? No disability issues.

Helping people to reduce their self harm, alcohol use, drug use, auditory hallucinations etc. Some medical professionals just throw prescription drugs at the isssues whereas thinking outside the box can often be the answer.

I didn't say all were taking the mick, just an awful lot of people who I have worked closely with which has given me a very negative view towards people getting benefits when they shouldn't.

I have never reported any post before...ive just reported this.
Just who do you think you are.?Apparently you know better than trained medical professionals now.
I would hope that this is more rubbish ,and that you dont get anywhere near people with severe mental illness or addiction issues.
You have frightened people who are waiting for PIP reviews. How dare you. You seem to have a very high opinion of your capabilities.
Im sure there are people who play the system but i'd rather risk that than one child go hungry.
Why dont you stick to assessing handbags and keep away from people...you obviously dont like them .

The OP may be a lot of things, but she is not a PIP assessor. She apparently is thinking of applying to be one, that is if you can believe a word that she says. I personally dont.

So. The lady with the 2/3 cars on the Sky New piece (that you weren’t properly listening to), was she using a food bank or was that another woman? I mean it’s important isn’t it, to have properly comprehended what was actually being said eh?

Did you or did you not process claims for food bank vouchers and codes issued by TT as you previously said you did.

someone with the attitudes you have should not be processing, or having anything to do with codes or vouchers for food banks as your attitudes are abhorrent.

I absolutely do. I’m really angry. I don’t use a food bank but I’m disabled and due a review in about a year and I’m terrified and someone like the op should not be in a position to make judgements on who gets help and assistance.

I’m going to double check that she’s said she’s a pip assessor too and if she has I’m reporting that as well.

it’s not fair. At all. That she is making decisions that affect people’s lives. And it’s disgraceful.

Sorry you're so upset by this.
Not that it's much comfort but I think OP has said she'd love to be a PIP assessor as she'd be so good at it, not that she is one. (God forbid!)

Naw. I’m reporting you to TT Because for someone like you to be gatekeeping access to food banks is abhorrent.

nice to see you dialling back on your statement that you volunteered for them. So you’re a liar as well.

Definately a foodbank and yes TT. I was processing the vouchers / codes myself and would go myself as I was too soft to say no. Eventually though after about 4 or 5 trips, I started to say no as it was draining, using up a lot of petrol and the customers were taking the mick. They would turn their nose up at most of the food then go out get drunk and go for a Mcdonalds on the way home.

Oh no I did not.

you work in the support space and you process vouchers and codes to let people access TT foodbanks.

I hope you lose your job. You shouldn’t be allowed to gatekeep as you do. It’s abhorrent.

MurdoMunro · 19/08/2025 15:17

Or are we slipping into something even more significant @TalkToTheHand123, that you've not claimed to be a Trussell Trust volunteer, you’re wanting us to think you’re an employee? THAT’S your gotcha?
