I remember standing in line at a liquor store, watching a (likely) homeless woman carefully pocket some food item. I said nothing. I talked about it the next day at work. A coworker suggested I'd just passed an "ethics test."

That was many years ago, before I'd established my current worldview. Today, I'd be silently rooting for them. "Get some food!"

I wouldn't call that necessarily passing an ethics test. You could've wanted to say something, but were too lazy.

Not doing something wrong is different from doing something right.

Does your liquor store sell food??? All the ones here sell only liquor.

Probably like a snack. Like a small bag of chips.

Ah lol I had this magical liquor store that sold like groceries and stuff for BBQ. Get your Jack, a 24 pack and a fresh cut brisket to smoke.

I used to live in a red state and liquor stores there can only sell alcohol. Here (California), they're really just common bodegas. Even BevMo has snacks and party supplies.
