Im genuinely scared approaching kids on bikes warring these things. Got mocked, laughed at a few tines too

Why do you want to approach kids?

Well with all the machetes around, I wouldnt. One time, me and my partner walked home and got yelled at, from behind by these kids which then they laughed like hell and went o their way. Another time we were walking in city center, in front of us are again, teenager with JD bags and they just suddenly start jumping on each other throwing punches.

Then why would you want to approach them?

People struggling with money still need shoes. What evidence do you have that you are seeing the same people repeatedly buying them and not different people?

[-]

Why not go somewhere cheaper if you are struggling then ?

[-]

Banditofbingofame@reddit

Because cheaper shoes.dont last and can have a biomechanical impact causing injuries or strains

Ah ha, thanks for clarifying

It's more cost effective to buy better quality shoes that will last longer than cheap shoes you have to replace regularly.

Why do you care so much what strangers spend their money on?

People reuse the bags. Someone having the bag doesn't mean they've just bought something from there. They're probably using it for a little man bag.

I've got a reusable bag from an American supermarket. I trust most folk - if they think about it at all - don't conclude I've just travelled 5,000 miles for a loaf and some Cathedral City.

Although travelling that distance for cathedral city would be absolutely worth it

I was trying to think of a flippant example but, if I'm honest, I don't remember a time when we didn't have some in our fridge.

Firstly, I don’t think teenagers are complaining about cost of living. Secondly, I spend around £50 on my trainers, sometimes from JD, but they last me at least a year. £1 a week for something I use basically every day is a decent investment. They could last longer but look quite worn by then. Thirdly, they’re Trainers not Sneakers, unless you’re American.

Theres no such thing as JD sneakers. JD Sports is a shop name, not a sneaker brand
