Arby's Has a Policy

So after swimming lessons the littles are hungry and cannot wait until we get home for food.  And trust me....they can't.  So tonight they wanted Arby's. 
So we are sitting in the drive through lane and Arby's is slow slow slow.  This homeless man comes up and asks something of the two cars ahead of us.  I can't hear him, but I know he got turned down.  So he then approaches our car and asks for a meal please.  He wanted something big enough for him and his girlfriend to share.  I'm like...of course.  Look at the menu and tell me what you want and I will get you two meals when I order our meals.  And so we do that.  He got two chicken sandwiches which I ordered as meals so he would have fries and beverages. 
We get up to the window and I give the young gal my credit card and ask for a drink carrier.  About that time the manager realized the homeless man was standing on the other side of my car and she tells him to leave.  I comment that I am getting him meals.  She informs me that Arby's has a policy that you can't buy food for people not in your car in the drive through lane.  Funny that.  They sure had no problem taking my $35 (I never spend that much at Arby's).  The man went and stood over by the bus stop.  I felt bad for him. 
When I finally got the food, I drove over to where he was waiting.  We gave him his food and told him if we ever buy him food again we will go inside and dine there. 
Who knew that if the person who is going to eat the Arby's is not in your car you cannot buy it for them.  All those times I got Arby's and took it elsewhere to eat with others I was breaking their policy.  I understand they don't want homeless people congregating in their parking lot.  But I'm offended that they would even say something when I'm spending money at their establishment and I'm feeding someone.  And he left as soon as he got his food. 

Then I had to have the conversation with the littles about the difference between buying a homeless person some food and giving them money.  I don't give them money and I have had to explain that to the littles.  They sometimes think I am heartless when I won't.  And that may be.....but I will feed someone if they ask and I can.  And today I could.
