You solved the maze.

Your ex's actions leading up to the breakup are horrifyingly similar to what my sister's husband is doing. I'm so sorry.

I have to ask a question, so I guess it's, would you do anything in my position? It's a fine line where I can't just jump out and say he's a danger.

I'm sorry you lost two brothers. But you're right, everyone grieves differently. I saw my father who had an open casket two years ago and I still haven't dealt with it.

I read this answer and as well had a hard time sympathizing. That shit is eaten/claimed by staff very quickly. Also, money that staff doesn't spend on food is money lost to the books. So given that it's a commodity, financially and personally for staff, we're just left with a guy asking for free things at a business.

Still, I'm sure there are a bunch of places where this is okay, either due to the political affiliation/aesthetic of a business, or just the mood of the server/bartender, but from my perspective... I agree.

Edit: Sneaky little prepositions.

Double edit: I totally contradict my point. If staff has free food, they don't purchase their own. So businesses should throw away (or give away to those who wouldn't purchase otherwise) extra items to encourage the purchase. It still annoys me. Hearing someone ask for free things moments after being told by similar strangers how to do my job is frustrating.
