God no, there's absolutely no way I would empty a big tub of reduced meat when I could clearly see other people waiting too, even if by some misfortune they were in slightly the wrong place. Who knows how badly in need those people may have been?
During the early days of Covid, when people were still genuinely frightened and there were stock issues in shops and lockdown had just began, a woman ran into the supermarket in front of everyone and used her arm to sweep all of the remaining items of meat off the shelf and into her trolley.
Things were running low by this point (no milk, pasta or loo roll to be had) and all meat was on just one shelf, she darted in and half filled a big trolley with every last remains pack of mince, meatballs, burgers etc. The people around me looked incredibly upset, including several pensioners. I was just really shocked that anyone could be so selfish. If I had had a chance to even get a single pack, I would have gladly given it straight to one of the more elderly people there, and I am definitely no angel, not by a long stretch By a weird quirk of fate we had loads of hand gel and pasta pre-covid and did share it amongst family, friends and co workers. Sometimes you have to do the right thing even when it might be to your own detriment. I spent hours queuing to get into supermarkets to buy things for multiple households to try and lessen the risk to people who were more vulnerable than I considered myself, and believe me, I am quite a mean and cantankerous bugger at the best of times. Again though, it was the right thing to do at the time.
I'm afraid for some people it is par for the course these days to always put themselves first. The culture of me, me, me is very pervasive.
I know what it is to be poor, really poor. So poor you can't pay your bills and there is no food at all in, and I still wouldn't do this.
