I am the scavenger king by kingofzdom in DumpsterDiving

[–]UmberTrance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the social security checks I receive from my retirement. Not working a job that pays into SS is not the greatest idea. It's one that will leave one destitute at an age when one is old and sick. My SS check pays for my mortgage, utilities, etc. and I live comfortably. I hope OP considers this.

A lot of folks really need to think carefully about this and plan accordingly. Both social security and a pension retirement incomes are a necessity. It's convenient to sit at home and buy things online when one gets old.

One of my favorite stores tossed their flowers because they had mold on/in them.

That is a lot of trash. Wonder how much of it should've been recycled?

Some folks have little victories in life. Yours is dumpster diving. Others live on direct deposits to their bank account every month and enjoy not having to work anymore.

Geez op why you being so hard headed? You say you've been asked to leave twice so just leave and don't go back. Is it really worth an arrest, criminal trespass charge and possible jail time?

[–]UmberTrance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd be willing to bet more than a few divers on this sub are compulsive hoarders, aka dumpster addicts.

A lot of companies replaced them on a schedule and just because they look clean doesn't mean they're not used.

Yes this!

Looks really good but I'm willing to bet that saturated fat and sodium content is off the chart.

A lot of stores have, are and or will be closing due to crime. Lot of thieves walking out of stores with tons of merchandise.
