Gentle reminder... to please think about others and not be greedy when visiting the cupboard please.
I placed an entire box of 30+ sachets of coffee (caramel) in the cupboard yesterday that was kindly donated by someone.. the entire box has been taken by one person in the evening.
I had ripped opened this box and displayed it alongside the tea bags for people to take a few, but someone has decided they wanted the entire box. It's disappointing because that could have been shared between multiple households and helped many people. The box had no lid and was ripped wide open, so you must have known it wasn't for just one person to take the entire thing!
If the person that took this entire box reads this, I'd appreciate if you could donate another box to help others as it was intended to do. From now on, I will no longer display things like this, and will only put a few in a bag on the shelf at any one time.
Something like caramel coffee sachets are a luxury, and that could have really cheered up and treated someone (many people) who normally couldn't afford things like that whilst they're struggling. Not only do I want to help people get essential food items, but if I can I like to provide things that can give an extra bit of joy and help during such hard times. Please consider others when you take.. π
