店员阻止顾客为流浪汉买食物，是误会还是另有隐情？

                                                                                                        

        A customer wanted to buy a sandwich and a soft drink for a homeless man, but a worker of Coffee Costa stopped it.
Adrian Pinsent attempted to buy food for the homeless man, but was barred by a staff at the second largest coffeehouse chain worldwide. The worker said they would be “prosecuted” if they sold him the snack because it went against the company “policy”.
Mr Pinsent says the response to his simple act of kindness is “unbelievable”. A spokeswoman for Costa said, "We do not have a policy that restricts customers buying food for anyone who is homeless.We believe the store was given misinformation, which has now been corrected.”
