Broke my fucking heart when we kicked out a regular bum. One of them literally had the personality of a puppy at a pound. He was so nice and gentle but he had mental issues and couldn't resist talking to college girls that were polite but repulsed by his appearance and odor. Guy looked like Charles Manson but with big, sweet puppy dog eyes. I hope he's doing alright. I quit specifically because that job made me feel like a heartless bastard every day.
