Vacations Over

Today it feels like fall because it's raining and its cool outside. I went to McDonald with my daughter. There was a man standing by the door. He would open the door for everyone to go in. People leaving the restaurant wouldn't even say thank you as he opened the door for them. I was observing that every time he opened the door for someone and they didn't give him money he would mumble something under his breathe. When me and my daughter finished eating our meal, I tipped him on my way out. I didn't have to but, I felt that since he was opening the door for so many people let me give him a dollar before he cast the under his breathe spell. I really didn't know what he was mumbling when people didn't give him a tip, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a blessing. When I gave him the dollar he looked at it and put it in his pocket and didn't even say thank you. I had mixed feelings after I gave him my dollar. My problem with this situation is not so much the dollar I gave him although I don't have that kind of money to throw around. My point is this I go to the McDonald in my neighborhood and I see this constantly in my area someone standing by the door panhandling and smelling horrible and the food almost tastes like the person that is by the door because the odor is strong and the management doesn't seem to do anything about it. Meanwhile we keep the business open because we buy and bring in money to these businesses. I told my daughter next time we are going to take the train and go to another McDonald so that we can enjoy our meals.
