r*******t 发帖数: 8550 | 1 In a grand opening Monday, Washington became home to the first Homeless
Depot, one link in a nationwide chain of warehouse-style stores that will
supply the nation's estimated 350,000 homeless people with all of their
street-lifestyle essentials.
Early-bird shoppers visit the new Homeless Depot.
"There are 14,000 homeless people in D.C. alone, but there's never been a
retail business that catered to their unique needs," store manager Geoff
Alberts said. "Homeless Depot is a one-stop spot for cardboard building
supplies, used carpet scraps, filthy woolen blankets, and flattened garbage-
can lids. We also sell coffee cups, cigarette butts, soiled clothing,
expired coupons, June 2001 People magazines, and half-empty containers of
Dippity-Do hairstyling gel. Best of all, we have really nice, big, sturdy
shopping carts." | p***y 发帖数: 18037 | 2 Do they charge these homeless people? |
