Well you live in California. It depends on the department and policy.
I don't think a simple 20 buck gift card is buying influence.

If an officer ever declines the card or picking up a check I will respect that but it has not happened yet. I will occasionally pick up the check for uniformed military also.

In almost every jurisdiction officers are not allowed to get free meals from the establishment. If a kind stranger pays for it before they can, that's another story and in no way strikes as purchasing favoritism, unless the person buying the meal is known to the officers as an offender or someone under investigation.

Did anyone else see the story of a Cheesecake Factory manager denying SIX uniformed officers and their families a table and asking them to leave? Happened in Tacoma. The manager told them it was a gun-free zone (Those rules don't apply to identified, sworn officers and if it's not posted on an approved sign explaining why, it's not binding or legal, btw) and asked them to leave. I guess they're big fans of mass shootings and robbery.

yeah. a western washington state left-wing idiot, strike that, an I-5 corridor washington state left-wing idiot. if the manager isn't immediately fired, Cheesecake Factory should be boycotted.

some manager of a teriyaki place up north pulled the same shit awhile back and they quickly kow-towed after the public backlash.
 
That's a nice gesture! Do you only do it for cops or does your generosity spread to Nurses, Firefighters and other vocations that serve the Public?

You know, it hasn't been a conscious thing but the few times I have done this, it has been toward cops or military.

I guess I have slighted EMS and firefighters.
I know for a fact that firefighters whip up some great meals at the station better than anything you can get at a restaurant.
Maybe they don't eat out as much.

Anyway, I do it occasionally. I am not flagging down every person in uniform giving away gift cards.

I've also been known to throw a panhandler or homeless person a buck or two.

So whatever.
 
seriously, I can't tell you how many times I've had some tweaker approach me with some sob story how they need $5 (or whatever amount) because their car is out of gas down the road or they need something to eat but when I offer to buy them the gas or food they say "Oh, I just need the $5." that shit is rife up here and the bleeding hearts only enable them.


fuck off.

I had a girl come up to me while I was pumping gas and she was in tears. She told me something about being out of money and needed a couple of bucks in gas to get home. I told her to find a pump and pull up beside it and I went into the store and paid for 5 bucks of gas.

I think there was more to it than she let on but fuck it.

Had some fucker give me a sob story about needing gas and couldnt cash a check and I bought him 5 bucks.
People say I am a heartless bastard on here but I must give off a vibe of "hit me up" in person.

Damn it!

That's the thing, if they let me actually buy them gas I'm happy to. I even let them get more than they ask for. I had a woman who asked me for a gallon worth of gas so she could make it up to this town up north where she had a relative waiting. I glanced in her car and it was packed full of belongings and she had her kid in the passenger seat. As she was pumping the gas she kept asking "is this it ok?" I just told her just fill it up. Afterwards she got to crying and hugged me. If you're genuinely in need, and not to feed your drug addiction, I will do what I can to help you.

And I understand the above scenario could've also been a scam but I was going on what was more likely.

^^^^^ I'm starting to like this guy. A real Lib would have ripped the American flag off his uniform and threw it in the trash. And then after the Lib got his face caved in would have filed a lawsuit against the party. It's just how it works.

Yes, I agree, pool_hustler needs to post more.

I tend to have bad hearing around hobos and act like I have no idea what they're talking about while I walk past them without breaking stride. Although if they do say, "Spare change?", I sometime answer, "No thanks. I've got plenty but thanks for offering."

It's hard to distinguish between panhandlers, beggars, and con artists, my response doesn't change; "I'll be more than happy to drop you off at the nearest precinct, those fine fellows in blue will be more than happy to assist you."

I said no thank you once to a begger and he gave me a weird look and explained how I should not be the thankful one
I hate it when there drug addilled mind is such you cant understand them

a few years ago the same person wanted money for gas and he even had a empty gas can
he asked me the same question exactly 7 days apart at the same time of day and had to drive somewhere immediately.
