If this guy were stealing bread to feed his family, I would understand, show compassion and do something. I might even give him money because he'll do anything to feed his family.

Not this case.

I know a guy that I used to employ as a day laborer for 100/day, because I thought he really needed the money. He used to tell me he could only work one day in a row, because he had other jobs lined up. Good for him! I thought.

Then i found out from the local bar owner that the guy ordered and drank 9 beers, smoked a pack and half outside the bar, got escorted home by a sympatheic waitress who dropped him off ta the door, and received the rest of the 100 as a tip.

He has not been hired since.
