Yeah we do food a lot here, but it is never expected, that’s the main difference. I mean you can question it all you want but I’ve lived in the Carolina’s for over 20 years now. The people I’ve met, my friends and family, they help out without expecting anything in return (unless it’s explicitly stated in the beginning and this is usually for big things), and if the person receiving help is able to they will provide food and refreshments and a meal is had together afterwards bc they’re friends/family. But never is it expected and never is anyone entitled to it. Especially when you know the person is having a hard time. The reaction of the “friends” in this post just seemed so entitled and not very friend like to me.

Yeah in the south things revolve around food, but I’ve never met anyone who would act like the friends did. I have helped people move and they offered refreshments and food they already had at home, like chips and stuff, and then we all went out to eat afterwards and never once did anyone expect the person moving to pay. We were all college students, some better off than others, and we were all friends.
