Today on my lunch break (after picking up a sandwich from Corner Bakery) I was standing on the corner enjoying said sandwich when I was approached by a homeless woman. "Do you have any change? I need change for the train," she told me. I reached into my pocket for some change, holding my sandwich in the other hand. Suddenly she said, "Shit, that sandwich looks good." I shrugged and said, "Eh, it cost way too much. Wasn't worth it." I then handed her my change and she left, and I wondered to myself, "Is it tacky to tell a homeless woman (who is probably very hungry) that the upscale sandwich that I'm enjoying cost too much money?" Perhaps I should write Miss Manners.
