The Burrito

So today I went to Carl's Jr. for lunch.

I ordered a Carne Asada Burrito.

And then...my willpower failed.

I asked them to throw a $.99 Spicy Chicken Sandwich in the bag as well.

..............

I tore into the Chicken Sandwich before I had even pulled out of the drive through.

Mmmmmmmmm delicious mayo-soaked goodness....

Then I had to go get gas, so I stopped at the 76 Gas Station.

As I was pumping my gas, a 30-something, fat-ish, somewhat dirty-looking woman in a beat-up Dodge Caravan with a little girl in the passenger seat pulled along side me.

"Hey! Can you come here for a second?", she whispered.

She motioned me over to her car. I approached kind of cautiously. It was weird.

"Come closer... I don't want anyone else to hear..."

This weirded me out.

"Please sir. You look nervous. I don't mean any harm..."

I took a few steps toward her.

The woman tried to shake my hand and proceeded to beg me for a dollar to feed her little daughter.

She showed me her empty pockets and empty wallet.

I was hesitant to show my wallet lest she yank out a gun or knife and attempt to relieve me of it...but I had an idea.

"Hang on a second."

I went back into my car and grabbed my untouched burrito.

I offered it to her.

She refused.

"No no sir. You're very kind. I can't accept that."

I was confused. It was perfectly wrapped and in a Carl's Jr. bag.

"You want money for food. I'm offering you food. Take the burrito. I bought it less than five minutes ago."

I shoved it pretty close to her face.

"I really want you to have it."

"I'm sorry. I can't take your food. Thank you. God bless you."

She pushed my hand away.

"Fine."

I finished pumping my gas, got in my car, and drove away.

I felt good about offering her my food. It's what Gershy would have done. It was the right thing to do. Both because it is nice and also because I really shouldn't be eating a burrito AND a chicken sandwich.

So...the question I've been pondering:

Even though the foolish homeless woman didn't take my burrito, do I get the karma points for offering it to her?

I mean...it's not my fault she didn't want it.

......

.....

Hmmmm......

.....

I think any karma points I may have gotten from the burrito-offering have just been negated by my blogging about expecting to receive karma points.

......

Shit.

I hate homeless people.
