    Moreover: even if they were disabled: does that somehow forbid them from buying things at the mall? Would it be different if they had different footwear? Are disability payments even enough for them to be able to afford to spend on frivolous things? Even if they are, is being disabled a good reason to forbid someone from buying frivolous things? If they’re buying necessities, isn’t it nicer for everyone else if the people who have the time to do their groceries outside rush hours do so then so the registers are less crowded?

      It’s just there are two distinct froups of people outside during the working hours: the slipper guys, and pensioners

        And also just maybe the people that don’t work 9-5. You realize that right? Or does everyone in your country stop working at 5pm?

          Yeah seriously. Whenever I do a late or a night shift, this guy will think I’m a leeching immigrant. Or maybe he won’t, because my skin isn’t the right color for that?

          Besides, I’m from the Netherlands and I’ve known more native “leechers” than immigrant ones.
