Yesterday, my husband and I celebrated our daughter's first birthday by taking her to the park and letting her swing. It started raining on us, though, so we headed to the mall so she could try out its play area, then we had a little pizza for dinner.
Afterward, we stopped by Sam's Club to buy gas and some trash bags. It was close to closing time when we left, and on our way out the door, one of the workers asked us if we'd like a free chicken. Apparently, about 20 of the rotisserie chickens had reached their sell-by date, so the store was giving them away for free. I think it's wonderful the store did that! Of course, I took one.
Years ago, my mom worked at a senior center as a cook. She and the two other workers there cooked up meals for the elderly. If there were any leftovers, they were required to throw it away. I think that's just insane. I figure the management probably didn't want the workers to intentionally make extra every day so they could take some home, but couldn't they find a shelter to take it to? Or perhaps make up extra meals for the seniors to take home for dinner that night?
