Ava Lins, a 19-year-old clerk at 7-11, started making small talk with a homeless man who came into the store last Thursday night. He told her that the homeless shelter was full and he didn’t know where he was going to sleep. She told him to take a small cup of coffee, which costs about $1.
As the homeless man left, he was confronted by the owner of the 7-11, Romany Youseff, who demanded to know if he had paid for the coffee. Lins lied to protect the man and told Yosef he had paid. The next day she admitted to Youseff that she gave him the coffee for free.
