I'm broke right now and hungry but I don't have any thing to eat, how can I score some food some how?

>> No.9597368

Go dumpster diving

>> No.9597369

Food bank, soup kitchen, go around restaurants and grocery stores near closing time and ask if they have any fresh food that's going to be thrown out. When you go to these places, go in the back way through the loading dock, because the warehouse dudes and the shelf stocking dudes know what it's like to be poor and might help you out, and you don't want to weird out customers.

This if you're serious. When I was like 13 I would go out alone on friday nights and look for parties people were having in their apartments and I would go in just to take food.

Well then you can probably last a few weeks without eating provided you're not doing much physical labor. If you start seeing your abs then you really need to get some food soon.
If there is nothing in your area, which you won't reveal to anyone, then you're going to have to go somewhere else or get someone to bring you food.

In my country, anybody qualifies for social assistance if you can prove a lack of income. While you're on assistance, you're required to attend monthly meetings with your case worker so they can help you find work and/or training. Often times they pay for said training. If one does not attend these meetings, then they are cut off from support.
But you know, 'murica.

That’s exactly what happens in America too. But most Americans are too lazy to get the process started.

EBT, or food stamps, is guaranteed to you with little to no hassle. You’ll at least get an emergency card with a certain amount of benefits on it.

Getting monetary benefits is harder, but everyone has the ability to get them. You’ll have to jump through some hoops though.

I know from experience. I broke my neck and back in a car accident, and was off work for a few months. Disability wouldn’t pay, so it was the only option I had at the time.

no one would have cared if they cleaned up after themselves around the dumpsters.

I heard other chains would do worse and try to smash in glass containers over the food so whoever would actually be dumb enough to get into the dumpster would cut themselves to ribbons.

What in the actual fuck, that's Africa tier. Where I live, in fucking Canada, grocery stores sell produce unfit for human consumption to farms as slop for pigs, compost it, or donate the food to shelters in the case of deli dishes. Any other shit like cookies or canned beans would go to the food bank. I refuse to believe this, you're making shit up to be edgy.

It’s not cruel. These are people trying to run a business. You can’t have everyone rummaging through the trash of your restaurant. The business is liable if something happens to the scroungers to get them hurt.

And it’s not legal to give out expired food, nor can you just give out “fresh” food that is on the verge of spoiling. The line between fresh and spoiled is too thin, meaning the business is once again liable if something bad happens.

Most grocery stores have social programs in place. Instead of expecting literal hand outs, go through the motions of finding these programs.

They are everywhere, OP.

if you're homeless and you want to eat, the dumpster is not the place to find it. there's fucking plenty to eat without having to dig around and spew trash literally everywhere

>>9597573
>And it’s not legal to give out expired food

meh, that's not quite true. Literal tons of sealed food that didn't actually go bad was donated to Harvesters because the "expiration" date (actually a best-by date) is mainly stamped on there by factories so they can force grocers into constantly refreshing their inventory. stuff like expired meat and dairy went straight into the dumpster tho.

Go to a Super 8 or a hotel with free breakfast.
Walk in like your a guest. Sneak into the breakfast room and steal food.
I work at a Super 8, we get homeless people stealing food and newpapers a lot. We never call the cops or anything.
