It'll probably be sold at a discount too since it was for display

For probably still more money than street sleeping homeless guy can afford of we are being honest.

Right but equally it's not the mattress company's job to accommodate the homeless person. It's not like they didn't have to pay an inflated price from the manufacturer so if they sold it for the price of the materials they'd probably make a loss.

No of course not. I'm not saying that the homeless guy should be in the store, I'm saying it's out of his reach even for the floor model.

100%. I have yet to see somewhere that sells display furniture/appliances at full price, usually they knock some off due to shop guests messing around with it, wear and tear

Ew, they would sell you a display bed? Seems, unhygienic.

I mean I don't even wanna know how often the average person changes their sheets, let alone their mattress. My parents have mattresses in spare bedrooms older than me.

Honestly though, display beds aren't as scary to me as hotel beds

SPARE BEDROOMS?!! By this you mean they have beds to spare and yet are not allowing unhoused individuals to sleep in them?? How very dare they. Guest rooms should be illegal. Everyone with a bedroom to spare gets a mini homeless shelter in their house.

I mean... that is what early Christians would do. They were radically giving and selfless. They would unironically feed and shelter the homeless.

It was as shocking then as it is now.

They would unironically feed and shelter the homeless.

How would you ironically feed and shelter the homeless?

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

Gen Z volunteering.

Never been on tiktok, huh?

The Romans never crucified anyone for saying "screw the poor."
