Many times. Again superstores. Never heard it called that LOL. That is much aesier in smaller towns as opposed to citys though due to the security implications.

Is now a good time to re-itterate that this was all a long time ago? LOL.

yer still hardcore. I think it's cool.
does anyone know if dumpster diving is illegal? that's what it's called where I come from.

There are people who dumpster dive and are not homeless. They prepare all their meals from restaurant dumpsters food and virtually pay nothing for food. Is it illegal? Don't know.
Do they get arrested for it. No.

yes, that's true. I'm kinda interested in doing that. food tastes better when it's free. yum.

I don't know about the US, but here in the UK it's illegal. Binmen are not permitted to keep things they find in domestic waste either.

There are still good ways for anyone to get food for free -

so anyway I come out of the grocery and a homeless old lady rides up on a bicycle (pretty cool I thought for a homeless to have a bike, I mean it was a really crummy bike but good for gettting around), and asks me for change or whatever, and since it was a woman and she was real skinny and since bread was on sale if you bought 2 loaves I had 2 loaves and so I offered her a loaf of bread, she said ok, I kinda shifted and one bag opened and I was like take it, she looked at me and said is that wheat, I said yes (hello, it's bread), and she said oh I can't eat wheat (she elaborated a tiny bit but I can't remember), and pedaled off.

standard?
