Yesterday while walking down York Street. I noticed this picture.



I just couldn’t believe what my eyes were witnessing????
I was very upset! This picture really got me going!!!!
It was the Fredericton South Side Redemption Centre!!!
There’s always a huge line up of vehicles in that area. < Worst than Tim’s Horton > but this time around it was different.

Between the fancy vehicles were these two guys waiting to cash in their empty bottles.
These individuals are poor and they can use the extra cash.
I have been told it’s been like this for years.
The owners treat everyone equally on a first come service.
Sorry! I can’t agree with this system.
Can you imagine standing in the cold or rain while waiting for a few bucks?
It’s very degrading!!!!
I understand it’s a private company and they can do whatever they want but this is very degrading to the poor in Fredericton.
I might add what would happen if a poor individual gets hit by a car?
Who will get the blame anyway?
This is the only City that has rich bureaucrats and the poor side by side. You see it every single day in the Capital but to parade the poor in this public manner is very upsetting!
Fancy vehicles and shopping carts in a line up?
Totally ridiculous!
These youths offered this guy to sit down in their car while they waited to exchange their bottles. Pretty nice of them.


If the business is that busy? Why not have a special area for the poor who don’t own a vehicle?
How would they like to be standing in the cold winds or rain for a couple bucks???
Give me a @z#@ break!!!!
