When I was entering McDonald's to buy lunch and sit and read a commentary on The Heart Sutra, I was approached by a young man whom I know to be homeless. He asked me if I could buy him food. I told him I could. So we went in together and I let him order what he wanted and then I paid for it. I gave him the receipt so he could get the food when it was ready. When the order number was called he went up with the receipt and the staff started to question whether or not that was really his order. I stepped in and told them that even though I had bought the food, that he had the receipt and I purchased it for him. They gave him the food. The young man gave me a fist bump, thanked me, and went on his way. My food arrived and I ate lunch, sat, and read a commentary on The Heart Sutra.
