    Which is why I said “the majority” of people. I also know a few people who wouldn’t give the sandwich.

    But the situation also plays out differently if it is just those two people alone with no witnesses.

    If the same thing happened and there were one, two or more people watching it all happen … the person with the sandwich is more apt to do the humane thing because other people are watching.

      i saw someone bought mcdonalds sandwich for a homeless, but i suspect he had a ulterior motive to impress his wife/gf at the time.

        This is close to “Nobody does anything good without an ulterior motive.” Which is exactly what the power structure wants you to believe.
