The Des Moines Register’s Daniel Finney tells a story. Here’s how it starts:
He wore a gray hoodie, baggy pants, a ball cap pulled down to cover his eyes and about five days’ worth of growth on his face.
He picked up two newspapers — retail value: about $5 — and sat down at a table. He purchased no food.
A Starbucks employee cleaning countertops and taking out the trash said, “Hello.”
The man nodded but did not speak.
He proceeded to read the newspapers he had not paid for.
