FOOD MART

Came in here 4-13-23 at 11:20PM because I was going to charge my car nearby and needed some water and snacks. I have a McDonald's cup because when you Lyft all day in the desert, you need water. I ask firstly if I can get water and the girl behind the counter says there is a $1.25 fee which is ridiculous. I ask even if I buy something? Yes. Okay, I get a bottle of Life Water and purchase it. I say to her, "I know you can't control it, but you know that's an anti-homeless policy right?" She stares angrily into my face and doesn't say anything. I wait for my receipt and she crumples it up without offering and walks away without saying another word, not a thank you or anything. Firstly, you have a despicable policy that's inhumane for a desert climate. As someone who is housed and gainfully employed, it's an obvious anti-homeless measure that has nothing to do with the cost of water or whether they are loitering or causing the business any disruption. Secondly, her attitude was off the charts but I know gas stations don't have any other options so there wont be any reprecussions for the bottom of the barrel employees they sometimes get.
