Jeffery could barely speak through his chuckling, saying a man who appeared to be homeless asked him for spare change, which he didn’t have. He offered to buy him food instead.
When he returned with the man’s coffee and a Big Mac, the stranger gave him an unsolicited suggestion about his diet.
‘I hand it to him and I’m like, “Have a great day,” and he goes, “Yeah, just in the future, a word of advice, I would lay off the McDonald’s,”‘ said Jeffery, who once again burst into laughter.
‘And the worst part is I was fat-shamed for doing a good deed.’
