Foodbank - 3 cars

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.

I can’t believe Trussell would want someone with the vile attitude of the op volunteering for them.

I don't volunteer for them.

You do.

and I quote

Definately a foodbank and yes TT. I was processing the vouchers / codes myself

I have reported this thread to TT as an example of the vile attitudes held by those who volunteer for them.

im so shocked and horrified that someone who works in a food bank and associated support services holds the attitude they do.

you should be sacked.

One of the first things you’ve said that I believe. Trouble is you said you did.

See @Bloodyhrt above. You can’t bring the receipts but she can.

No I haven't. You must have misread.

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?

Bloodyhrt · 19/08/2025 15:18

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.

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.

I hear the scrabbling racket of a reversing ferret.

Bloodyhrt · 19/08/2025 15:25

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.

I hope you really mean that because TT should absolutely know about it.

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!)

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?

Bloodyhrt · 19/08/2025 15:42

TalkToTheHand123 · 19/08/2025 15:36

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.
