The Original Post
Walmart accidentally delivered about $200 worth of groceries to me. I called them immediately but I knew the answer, once they deliver food, it’s yours. I couldn’t use or didn’t like over half of it so I decided to post an ad on Craigslist to pick them up for free. She wanted $10 in gas money to come get them. Seriously??
What Reddit Said
Reddit users were absolutely stunned by the woman’s audacity. The top comment summed up the collective outrage perfectly. Most commenters praised OP for being generous in the first place.
However, many Redditors admitted they would have immediately withdrawn the offer. The consensus was clear: asking for gas money to pick up free items crosses every line of decency. Moreover, this behavior epitomizes the choosing beggar mentality.
The Verdict
The overwhelming consensus: this woman’s demand for free groceries gas money was completely unreasonable. OP showed incredible kindness by offering perfectly good food for free instead of keeping it. This is a textbook example of choosing beggar behavior that left Reddit shaking their heads in disbelief.
