Two things stood out to me when being approached by two father joe's employees while out in the park this morning with my two year old daughter and dog. The employees who attempted to engage me were totally ignorant and untrained. If I wasn't a patient and understanding person, I probably would have been really mad at them.
Father Joe's: Do a better job of training your team on how to spot homelessness first of all and second of all on how to interact with people regarding this sensitive issue. I understand that you're in it for the right reasons but that was a really offensive exchange that just happened that could have gone much differently if you had employees that were trained correctly. What was weird too, was when you asked me if I knew where any homeless people might be in the neighborhood and I told you, you just sat in your van and then drove away the opposite direction of where I suggested.
