Matt White was at a Kroger store in an upper-class part of a generally poor area in Memphis one night when 16-year-old Chauncy Jones approached him. Before the boy could even get all the words out of his mouth, White was taken aback by the look on his face — a mixture of shame and defeat. Jones had taken the bus to the “rich people’s Kroger,” as he referred to it, in hopes of working for food since he had none. He only an hour to do it before he had to catch the bus back to his house, where he lived alone with his mother.
