Miss Manners: A well-off volunteer took a gift card I put out for our homeless clients
Briefly

The article addresses two dilemmas faced by individuals involving volunteering and consent in photography. One volunteer encounters a fellow volunteer who misuses donated items meant for homeless individuals for her own benefit, raising ethical concerns. Miss Manners suggests clarifying the intended use of these resources. Additionally, another person expresses discomfort about unsolicited photography at social events, emphasizing the need for consent before capturing images of others. The piece highlights the importance of upholding etiquette and respect towards both the less fortunate and personal privacy.
I am so sorry, I should have been more clear when you asked for that card. These items are meant for the indigent. They are not for us.
Miss Manners realizes, is likely what she is counting on. But you could suggest there was a miscommunication.
I like pictures, but feel I need to be ready for them. In the past, I had always assumed that picture-taking was a matter of consent.
You cannot decently accuse this person of stealing from the homeless.
