休斯顿网友发帖求助，工资迟发一周快要饿死，众人纷纷献出抗饿小妙招，知道吗？在喝的水里加盐和胡椒能让你有吃饭的感觉哦
正文翻译
my paycheck got delayed by a week
im so hungry, its literally all i can think about, i can deal with every other symptom of being poor but hunger drives me crazy. will probably try a food pantry soon, and hopefully be able to afford something with doordash (my partner just got a new job but they also don’t get paid till next week) but the combo of hunger pangs, dry mouth while drooling and hanger makes you feel insane. im just throwing this thought into the void because i hate the feeling of being hungry and cant complain because it puts emotional pressure on the people around me.
我的工资延迟了一周才发。
我快饿死了，脑子里想的全是吃的。贫穷带来的其他苦我都能扛，但是饿肚子我真受不了。我可能很快就要去食品救济站了，也希望能有钱解决吃饭问题（我伴侣刚找了新工作，但也要到下周才发薪）。可饥饿感阵阵袭来，嘴里干得难受却又忍不住流口水，又饿又气的感觉，真的能让人变得神志不清。我只是把这些想法说出来发泄一下，因为我讨厌这种饥饿的滋味，又不敢抱怨，怕给身边的人带来情绪压力。

This is why it is so important to feed children and everyone else too. People think they have been hungry but when the smell of fast food makes your stomach hurt because you have not eaten, when you have drank so much water your bladder hurts just to fill your belly, it makes you desperate and consider desperate acts. I once stole cash from a car with the windows open because I was just so damned hungry. I get it, Im sorry.
这就是为什么给孩子乃至所有人提供食物保障如此重要。人们总觉得自己体会过饥饿，可当快餐的香味飘来，你却因为没吃东西而胃疼；当你为了填肚子喝了太多水，膀胱涨得生疼时，那种绝望会让你做出不顾一切的事。我曾经就因为实在太饿，偷了一辆车窗没关的车里的现金。我懂这种感受，真的很抱歉。

i once almost stole food from my job before i really thought about how stupid that would be in the long run, but i was sooo so hungry. i wouldn’t wish malnutrition / starvation onto anybody
我曾经差点从上班的地方偷吃的，还好后来想清楚了，这么做长远来看太蠢了，但当时我是真的饿得不行。我希望任何人都不要经历营养不良、忍饥挨饿的滋味。
Lokisworkshop
Yeah, i was working at burgerking during a bad stretch and the amount of food they tossed at the end of the day was heartbreaking. I would 'take out the trash' and freaking eat trash burgers. So dumb the way corporations work
是啊，我经济拮据那段时间在汉堡王打工，每天打烊时他们扔掉的食物多到让人心疼。我会借着 “倒垃圾” 的名义，偷偷吃那些被扔掉的汉堡。企业的这种运作方式真的太荒谬了
Bird_Brain4101112
I’m sorry that we take such shitty care of people that you felt you had to pull food out of the trash at work to not starve.
真的很心疼你，竟然被逼到要从工作的地方捡垃圾桶里的食物填肚子，这也太过分了。
Lokisworkshop
So am I. That is a big part of why I never want others to be hungry like that. I donate decent food and cash to food banks. Stuff you can eat cold or without cooking.
我也觉得糟透了。这也是我绝不想让其他人再经历这种饥饿的重要原因。我会给食品银行捐些能直接吃、不用煮的食物和现金。
Fyrefli1313
I worked at BK years ago and I’ve totally eaten the “waste” burgers. But one of our managers let us take home the leftovers.
我好几年前也在汉堡王打过工，也吃过那些 “被丢弃” 的汉堡。不过我们当时有个经理会让我们把剩的食物带回家。
Eggshellpain
My dad did that even way back when. Had to limit it after "waste" tripled but employees could take a couple of meals after a shift. Restaurants I worked at always had a free food you could snack on, last place was soup and cornbread, then either a meal credit or the family meal.
我爸很早以前也这么做过。后来因为 “损耗的食物” 突然翻了三倍，才开始限制这种行为，但员工下班还是能拿几份餐食。我待过的餐厅都会提供免费的小食，上一份工作的餐厅会提供汤和玉米面包，之后还能领一份餐食券或者家庭套餐。

你就没别的地方可以求助吗？施粥所、教堂、食品救济站、邻居、家人、朋友，还有你的老板？

my post wont upxe for some reason but thank you guys for all the help and advice!! i dont want anyone to think im ignoring advice im just a little busy today. ill def hit up pantries and keep doing that even once i get paid so i can be prepared.
我的帖子不知道为啥一直更新不了不过谢谢大家的所有帮助和建议！我不想让大家觉得我无视了建议，只是今天有点忙。我肯定会去食品救济站的，就算发了工资也会一直去，这样就能提前存点吃的以备不时之需。

I'm in West Houston by the reservoir. If you need food, I'll put you a bag together from my pantry. Message me if you're still hungry
我住在休斯顿西部水库附近。如果你需要吃的，我可以从我的食品储藏室装一袋给你。还饿的话就私信我。

thank you!
谢谢你！

Add a little bit of salt and pepper to a large glass of warm water and drink that.
The flavor and the heat will be comforting and reminiscent of food, even if it can’t feed you.
I am so sorry you’re going through this.
Is there a dollar store near you somewhere?
Could you ask your neighbors if you could borrow 10 bucks and buy a large bag of rice?
If you’re so hungry that you’re dizzy and in this much pain, now is not the time for pride.
往一大杯温水里加一点点盐和胡椒粉，然后喝下去。
这味道和温热的感觉会带来些许慰藉，让人想起食物的味道，就算填不饱肚子也好。
真的很抱歉你要经历这些。
你附近有一元店吗？
能不能问问邻居借 10 美元，买一大袋大米？
如果你已经饿到头晕、疼得难受，现在就别讲面子了。

I looked at your other posts and found where you are located, and you're not near me, but don't be shy if you see someone with chickens to ask if they ever give away their extras.
My hens kept laying all winter, and I expected the slowdown. I give away a dozen eggs regularly to anyone in need. I don't care who takes them; I simply say pay it forward when you can.
我看了你其他的帖子，找到了你的位置，虽然离我不近，但如果你看到养小鸡的人，大胆问问他们会不会送些多余的鸡蛋，别不好意思。
我的母鸡整个冬天都在下蛋，我本来以为会减产的。我经常给有需要的人送一打鸡蛋，不管是谁我都给，只说一句，等你有能力了就把这份善意传递下去。

This is such an important comment. Get to know your neighbors. You don't have to be buddy buddy but say hi, wave, help somebody move a piece of furniture. Community is so important. I don't know all my neighbors names but if one of them knocked on my door and said could you spare a meal until I get paid again I'd gladly do it. I can't imagine someone living next to me suffering in silence because of pride or shame rather than ask for help.
这条评论说得太对了。多和邻居打交道吧，不用成为密友，简单打个招呼、挥挥手，帮别人搬搬家具就好。社区的力量太重要了。我甚至不知道所有邻居的名字，但如果有邻居敲我家门，说撑到发薪日前能不能蹭口饭，我肯定乐意。我实在无法想象，有人就住在我隔壁，却因为好面子、觉得丢人，宁愿默默挨饿也不愿开口求助。

If a neighbour knocks on my door right now saying he's hungry I'd have no trouble letting him rummage through my fridge/pantry. I live in a village though, that might make a difference.

如果现在有邻居敲我家门说饿了，我二话不说就让他翻我的冰箱和食品储藏室。不过我住在村子里，这情况可能和城市不一样。

if you make less than 50k a year you gotta be hitting up food banks 2x a week.
如果你的年收入不到5万美元，那你每周都该去两次食品救济站。
Responsible-Risk-169
I think anyone who lives pay check to paycheck without savings or a kitchen/pantry full of dried goods/staples should be encouraged to go to food banks and stock up. BEFORE something bad happens and they are stuck. It is insane to me that people in this country work and can’t afford to eat. Just insane.
Food banks. Get a reserve of shelf stable food for your families!
我觉得，凡是月光族，没存款、家里也没囤货和主食的人，都该被鼓励去食品救济站囤点吃的。一定要未雨绸缪，不然真的会陷入绝境。这个国家的人辛辛苦苦工作，却连饭都吃不起，简直太离谱了，真的太离谱了。
都去食品救济站吧，给家人囤点耐放的食物！

i just moved from somewhere that didnt allow cooking (strict roommates) so i got way too comfortable with not buying food. to make matters worse, i barely had cutlery / dishes, stored them in my car, and then got hit by a drunk driver and that got destroyed in the midst of it ♀️ i just turned 19 so still learning common sense things like that
我之前住的地方，室友管得特别严，不让做饭，所以我就养成了不买食材的坏习惯。更糟的是，我本来就没什么餐具，还都放在车里，结果被一个酒驾司机撞了，车里的东西全毁了♀️我刚满 19 岁，这些基本的生活常识还在学。

My local food bank is garbage in this city and I refuse to use them. They give out near expired (some times expired) food items, give cereal in ziploc baggies, a sleeve of crackers and prune juice.
It's like the food banks themselves are digging around in the back alley of the grocery stores to stock their shelves.
No thank you, I don't know where those hands have been that are putting stuff in ziplocs & I'm convinced I got pinkeye the last time I went.
It's so so rough when you have decide between literal starvation or eating a can of turnips and drinking prune juice. Even the senior center home delivery food service is yuck, especially if you have food restrictions or allergies, like I have.
我所在城市的食品救济站糟透了，我再也不会去了。他们发的都是快过期的，有的甚至已经过期了，麦片装在自封袋里，就只给一小包饼干和西梅汁。
感觉他们的物资都是从杂货店的后巷里翻出来的。
算了吧，我真不敢想象那些装东西的手碰过什么我上次去了之后，肯定是得了结膜炎。
真的太煎熬了，你不得不做选择：要么活活饿死，要么吃一罐芜菁、喝西梅汁。就连老年人活动中心的上门送餐服务，伙食也差得要命，尤其是像我这样有饮食禁忌或过敏的人。
Cold_Entertainer1183
Just because there's a "best by or use by" date on a food package doesn't make the food no good. It might not taste as fresh, but it's still edible. Especially if you haven't eaten for a day or 2.
食品包装上的 “最佳食用日期” 或 “食用截止日期”，并不代表食物就坏了。可能口感没那么新鲜，但还是能吃的，尤其是当你已经一两天没吃东西的时候。
SatansSpecialLady
I think there's not really a choice if you're choosing between food and literal starvation.
如果摆在你面前的选择是吃这些东西或者活活饿死，那其实根本没得选。
mediocre_mitten
starvation through ibs/chrons/glueten issues? So, in a country where there is so much food for the wealthy the poor have to chose between eating food that'll make them sick enough to put them in the hospital or not eating such food or just going without food? Yeah, tell me how great AMerica is again? Old poor people with medical issues should just die and get out of the way, right?
I think you're misunderstanding that 'cheap' food is edible food, when in fact eating such craptastic food will literally put me in the crapper then straight into the ER.
SO, no to the food banks in my current area where the staples are generic spaghetti noodles (sometime boxed but mostly in a ziploc bag), peanut butter (nope), crackers (nope), ziploc bagged cereal flakes (nope) block of some kind of cheese (again, in a ziploc bag), rice, high fructose grape juice...
These are all foods that can trigger and potentially put me in the hospital.
I am grateful for the summertime senior farmer market voucher the city gives though.
那我是要因为肠易激综合征、克罗恩病、麸质过敏饿死吗？在这个富人衣食无忧的国家，穷人却要做选择：要么吃这些会让自己病到进医院的食物，要么不吃，直接挨饿？行，再跟我说说美国有多好？贫穷老人身体不好就该去死，别挡路，是吗？
我觉得你根本没明白，“便宜的食物” 不一定是 “能吃的食物”。事实上，吃这些糟糕的东西，真的会让我上吐下泻，然后直接进急诊室。
所以，我绝对不会去我所在地区的食品救济站，他们的标配就是杂牌意大利面（有时候有包装盒，大多装在自封袋里）、花生酱（我吃不了）、饼干（我吃不了）、自封袋装的麦片（我吃不了）、一块不知道什么种类的奶酪（还是装在自封袋里）、大米、高果糖葡萄汁……
这些食物都会诱发我的病情，甚至可能让我进医院。
不过我还是很感激市里夏天给老年人发的农贸市场代金券。

I am so sorry that you are experiencing this hunger.
I am a former SNAP and TANF Eligibility Supervisor from CA.
Every state manages its programs differently and have different FPL but you should consider to apply for SNAP for you and your partner.
You can go to “snapscreener.com” and input your state of TX, income and expenses of household and you would have a good idea if you qualify for benefits.

真的很抱歉你正经历这样的饥饿。
我曾是加利福尼亚州补充营养援助计划和贫困家庭临时援助计划的资格审核主管。
每个州的项目管理方式不同，贫困线标准也不一样，但你和你的伴侣应该申请补充营养援助计划。
你可以去 “补充营养援助计划筛查网”，输入你所在的德克萨斯州、家庭收入和支出，就能大致知道自己是否符合申领条件。
祝你一切顺利

That "someone" can easily get another meal for 10$-15$. OP is literally starving to death. Your comment is very gross and unempathetic. You're from Poland, right?
那个 “别人” 花 10 到 15 美元就能再点一份，楼主都快饿死了。你的评论也太冷漠、太没同情心了，你是波兰人吧？

You’re dumb. There’s actual resources available so you don’t need to encourage OP resort to crime or to threaten their income. This is how you diminish society..

Well, the resources are clearly working. /s
Stealing FOOD when you are literally starving to death is not a crime.
呵呵，这些所谓的求助渠道，效果可太 “好” 了。
快饿死的时候偷食物，根本不算犯罪。
plainGenius16
Going off of the information I’ve gleaned from the post and some advice from the other commenters, my 2 cents would be that this next week (while you and your partner are waiting on the paychecks) is unfortunately a rice, beans and tortilla moment (either by themselves or as burritos). These are most likely your cheapest options for food that may not be the tastiest, but is indeed filling.
And if nothing else, like others have suggested, going to a local food pantry/bank may serve you well.
从帖子里的信息和其他网友的建议来看，我说句心里话，接下来这一周，也就是你和伴侣等发薪的这段时间，恐怕只能靠米饭、豆子和玉米饼过了，单吃或者包成卷饼都行。这些可能是你能买到的最便宜的食物，虽然味道不怎么样，但管饱。
如果实在没别的办法，就像其他人建议的，去当地的食品救济站看看，会有帮助的。

honestly, this may not be ideal or even morally correct but as someone who slept in their car and was hungry but had a phone? call these food places and tell them they messed up your carryout order. chickfila will damn near give you an order everytime. Hell, I’ll call for you if you want.
说实话，这办法可能不太合适，甚至有点不道德，但我当年睡在车里、饿肚子的时候，至少还有手机，你也可以试试：给那些餐厅打电话，说他们的堂食外带订单做错了。福来鸡几乎每次都会重新给你做一份，实在不行，我帮你打也行。

Stealing food when you are starving to death from someone rich is not a crime.

I’m not above digging recycles out of trash cans and turning them in, but that’s just me. Also, do you have ANY friends or family nearby that you can ask if they can spot you a loaf of bread and a small jar of peanut butter? Or make a sign asking for those two things and stand near Walmart?
我不介意从垃圾桶里翻可回收的瓶子罐子去换钱，我就是这样过来的。另外，你身边有没有朋友或家人能借你一条面包、一小罐花生酱？或者写个牌子，上面写着想要这些东西，站在沃尔玛附近试试？

THIS! Dealing with stress while trying to not let it affect others makes the pain so much harder. If the challenges are frequent or prolonged, it makes maintaining relationships really difficult, which shrinks your social safety network.
Poverty is a multilayered bitch.
说得太对了！一边承受着压力，一边还要强撑着不影响别人，这种痛苦只会加倍。如果这种困境反复出现，或者持续很久，会严重影响人际关系，进而让你的社交支持圈越来越小。
贫穷就是个层层嵌套的噩梦。

when my partner and i are doing well financially, every aspect of our relationship improves. it sucks so much on days where i can’t say i’m hungry or i need new clothing or something broke etc because it builds so much tension and frustration.

I don’t mean to be offensive but I have an unethical life hack if your partner be okay with you going on a dating app? You can get men to buy you food pretty easily, sometimes you dont even have to go on a date with them.
I used to do this in med school to get by. I wouldn’t even go on dates sometimes I would just ask them to doordash me food and they would. Give them a nearby apartment complex or something you don’t actually live at for safety.
我不是故意冒犯，但我有个不太道德的小妙招，如果你伴侣不介意的话，你可以试试交友软件？很容易让男生给你买吃的，有时候甚至都不用约会。
我读医学院的时候，就是靠这个撑过来的。有时候我甚至都不跟他们约会，只是让他们点外卖送过来，他们都会照做。为了安全，你可以给他们一个附近不是你真实住址的公寓小区就行。
localpunktrash
Stay safe obv but yeah this is an incredibly effective method. I've even put it in my bio that I was mostly on the app to be wined and dined and then left tf alone and it didn't hurt my results st all. Your partner can even pick you up, just say he's your Uber! If using your address always say you have roommates or the building has multiple tenants.
Oh ang going to the dollar store, getting a window marker and writing "just married" with a venmo or cash app under it
当然，一定要注意安全，但这办法真的特别管用。我甚至直接在个人简介里写，我上这个软件主要就是想有人请我吃好喝好，然后互不打扰，结果效果一点都没受影响。你伴侣甚至可以去接你，就说他是你的网约车司机！如果非要给真实地址，就说你有室友，或者这栋楼里住了很多人。

Don't forget to check out the little blessing boxes near you, too. The one at the library in my town has different things every time I look, but often has canned soup, canned beans, ramen, sometimes fruit. Basically, if you have a bowl, a spoon, and a microwave, you could make a meal.
别忘了看看你附近的爱心小盒子。我们镇上图书馆门口就有一个，每次看里面的东西都不一样，但通常会有罐装汤、罐装豆子、拉面，偶尔还有水果。基本上，只要你有碗、有勺子、有微波炉，就能做一顿饭。
Fyrefli1313
I’m glad you mentioned that! I’m actually getting ready to build one of those along with a little library to put in front of my house. I’m not doing great on money either so it’ll be mostly stuff like Ramen noodles and graham crackers but it’s better than starving. And I’m eating that same stuff lol.
很开心你提到这个了！我正准备在我家门口建一个爱心食物盒，再搭一个迷你图书馆。我自己经济状况也一般，所以里面主要会放拉面、全麦饼干这类东西，但总比挨饿强。而且我自己也吃这些东西，哈哈。
knitwit3
For sure! I like that I can drop stuff by to donate at any time, and likewise, that people can get stuff any time. My town's food pantry is only open a few days a month. They do what they can, but there's a lot more need out there. Wasting food is a sin. Giving what I don't need/can't use away is a great way to not waste!
那是当然！我喜欢这种随时能去捐东西的方式，其他人也能随时去拿。我们镇上的食品救济站一个月只开几天，他们已经尽了最大努力，但需要帮助的人实在太多了。浪费食物是种罪过，把自己用不上的东西捐出去，就是避免浪费的好办法！

Do you have a Buy Nothing group in your area? People give extra food away and you can even ask. If in the US call 211 if your state has one for help/suggestions
你所在的地区有 “免费分享群” 吗？里面的人会把多余的食物送出去，你也可以直接求购。如果你在美国，所在的州有211热线的话，就打这个电话求助。

I’m so sorry you’re going thru this! I lost my job and somehow got the runaround for 7 months on unemployment food stamps ecta att from the food pantry with no car it was hell! Sad to say I t happens a lot now. Prayers and ask at a church or something they know the local places. It breaks my heart we have this in America while they spend money on everything thing else but Americans that need help!
真的很抱歉你要经历这些！我丢了工作，失业金、食品券这些福利，我申请了 7 个月都被各种推诿，没车的情况下，去食品救济站领东西更是难上加难！说起来真的心酸，现在这种情况太常见了。为你祈祷，去教堂问问吧，他们知道当地的救助渠道。真的太心寒了，美国把钱花在各种地方，却不管本国需要帮助的人！

When you do get your paycheck- If you live near any Asian supermarkets (there should be several if you live in Houston), buy a 25lb bag of rice, and a bottle of soy sauce and can of chicken soup powder in the condiment aisle. A little bit of rice can go a long way and a tiny bowl of leftover cooked rice with water can turn into a whole pot of rice porridge. 25lb properly stored (plastic airtight dog-food container), will easily last you 6 months or more, depending how frequently you eat it. You can add the soup powder directly into the water when cooking the rice so rice is savory when done. A $20 4 cup rice pot at Target/Walmart will make it even easier. I’m a family of 4 that cooks rice at least once a week and 25lbs last us easily a year+.
等你发了工资后，如果你住在休斯顿，附近应该有不少亚洲超市，去买一袋 25 磅的大米，再在调料区买一瓶酱油、一罐鸡汤粉。一点点大米就能吃很久，吃剩下的一小碗熟米饭，加水上锅煮，就能变成一大锅粥。25 磅的大米，如果用密封的塑料狗粮收纳盒妥善保存，至少能吃 6 个月，具体看你吃的频率。煮米饭的时候，直接把鸡汤粉加到水里，煮出来的米饭会有咸味，特别香。在塔吉特或者沃尔玛花 20 美元买个 4 杯容量的电饭煲，煮起来会更方便。我们一家四口，每周至少煮一次米饭，25 磅的大米足足能吃一年多。

How much does a bag of rice and one rotisserie chicken cost in America? I'll send it by Paypal/Wise to OP.
在美国，一袋大米和一只烤鸡要多少钱？我通过线上支付转给楼主。

She can probably look for rice between the price range of $15-$30 for 25lbs- depending where she shops. A rotisserie chicken is about $5-$9.
她大概能买到15到30美元一袋的25磅大米，具体看在哪家店买。一只烤鸡大概5到9美元。

Can't you go to food banks?
你就不能去食品银行吗？
morgue-angel
my partner is using the car to doordash and start work atm, also this is kinda embarrassing but i dont really have pots and pans and bowls and stuff to actually cook with, i usually eat prepackaged things since i just moved from a roommate situation that didn’t allow cooking
我伴侣现在要开着车送外卖、去新工作上班，而且说出来有点丢人，我其实连锅碗瓢盆都没有，之前住的地方不让做饭，我一直吃预包装食品，所以也没置办这些东西。
econroy
Most food pantries have plenty of pre packaged things. Mocrowaveable ramen, granola bars, cereal, etc.
大多数食品救济站都有很多预包装食品，比如微波拉面、格兰诺拉麦片棒、麦片等等。

Have you applied for SNAP?
你申请补充营养援助计划了吗？
morgue-angel
i have, but it was a while ago as food isn’t usually an issue for me, my paycheck being delayed just threw me off a ton
申请过了，不过是很久以前了，因为我平时基本不会缺吃的，这次就是工资延迟，一下子被打了个措手不及。
[dexed]
Email your request for prompt payment of delayed check. Check your governing payday laws for guidance. Typically, if you send written request for pay, they're obligated to respond and issue payment with a finite time period- be it 24 hours or a business day after they recieve your request. When they don't pay up, you file a claim with the labor board/workforce commission if pay is late/overdue/delayed.
发邮件要求公司立即支付延迟的工资，查一下当地的发薪相关法律作为依据。一般来说，如果你以书面形式要求发薪，公司有义务在规定时间内回应并支付，可能是收到申请后的 24 小时，也可能是一个工作日。如果他们还是不发，就向劳工局或就业委员会投诉，举报他们拖欠工资。
morgue-angel
it was delayed for an actual reason; i was transferring to another store location in another city, got approved, then had to cancel it because i got into a really bad car wreck that set me back. so for whatever reason, that messed with my paycheck processing. idk if that changes being able to do something like that.
这次工资延迟是有实际原因的：我之前申请调去另一个城市的分店，审批通过了，结果后来出了一场严重的车祸，事情被耽搁了，我就取消了调岗。不知道为什么，这事就影响了我的工资发放流程，我不知道这会不会影响维权。
[dexed]
Direct deposit or hardcopy check shouldn't be delayed. If hardcopy check is delayed, they should overnight it to your possession within 24 hours.
不管是直接打款还是纸质支票，都不该延迟发放。如果是纸质支票延迟了，他们应该在 24 小时内用快递寄给你。

I lived in Connecticut but this happened to me once and it took a day or two but I just told the manager there wasn’t a way I could afford to wait a week for a check not that it even has to get to that point but I was desperate
我以前住在康涅狄格州，也遇到过一次这种情况，不过只等了一两天。我直接跟经理说，我根本等不起一周，其实根本没必要闹到那一步，但当时我是真的走投无路了。

you need to get a hold of the drunk driver's insurance company. They will pay your lost wages due to the accident. also, lawyers work on commission for auto accidents and getting hit by a dui will be a case.
你得联系那个酒驾司机的保险公司，他们应该赔偿你因车祸产生的误工费。而且处理车祸的律师都是按提成收费的，对方是酒驾，这个案子很好打。

Door Dash is expensive. If your partner has some cash, hit the grocery store.
外卖太贵了，如果你伴侣身上还有点现金，去杂货店买吧。

Think about the millions of people in this country that struggle with hunger every day at least you a paycheck coming albeit it’s late. Go to the food pantry and get some food but do not order food with DoorDash that is expensive order the food online and go get it yourself
想想这个国家还有数百万人每天都在忍饥挨饿，至少你还有工资可以等，只是晚发一点而已。去食品救济站领点吃的，但别点外卖，太贵了，网上点好自己去取就行。

Im so sorry :( Theres some subs on here who will donate to those in need. Maybe someone could venmo or cashapp you a few dollars to hold you over. I used to go hungry a lot when I was in HS because my family was poor and living paycheck to paycheck. I luckily had friends who would donate food to me but I understand how hard this can be. I hope you can get out of this situation soon Stay safe and try local food banks/pantries.
真的太心疼了论坛上有一些专门给有需要的人捐款的板块，或许有人会通过Venmo或支付app转你几块钱应急。我高中的时候经常挨饿，因为家里穷，也是月光族。幸好当时有朋友给我送吃的，我太懂这种苦了。希望你能快点走出困境注意安全，试试当地的食品救济站吧。
This is why it is so important to feed children and everyone else too. People think they have been hungry but when the smell of fast food makes your stomach hurt because you have not eaten, when you have drank so much water your bladder hurts just to fill your belly, it makes you desperate and consider desperate acts. I once stole cash from a car with the windows open because I was just so damned hungry. I get it, Im sorry.
这就是为什么给孩子乃至所有人提供食物保障如此重要。人们总觉得自己体会过饥饿，可当快餐的香味飘来，你却因为没吃东西而胃疼；当你为了填肚子喝了太多水，膀胱涨得生疼时，那种绝望会让你做出不顾一切的事。我曾经就因为实在太饿，偷了一辆车窗没关的车里的现金。我懂这种感受，真的很抱歉。

i once almost stole food from my job before i really thought about how stupid that would be in the long run, but i was sooo so hungry. i wouldn’t wish malnutrition / starvation onto anybody
我曾经差点从上班的地方偷吃的，还好后来想清楚了，这么做长远来看太蠢了，但当时我是真的饿得不行。我希望任何人都不要经历营养不良、忍饥挨饿的滋味。
Lokisworkshop
Yeah, i was working at burgerking during a bad stretch and the amount of food they tossed at the end of the day was heartbreaking. I would 'take out the trash' and freaking eat trash burgers. So dumb the way corporations work
是啊，我经济拮据那段时间在汉堡王打工，每天打烊时他们扔掉的食物多到让人心疼。我会借着 “倒垃圾” 的名义，偷偷吃那些被扔掉的汉堡。企业的这种运作方式真的太荒谬了

I’m sorry that we take such shitty care of people that you felt you had to pull food out of the trash at work to not starve.
真的很心疼你，竟然被逼到要从工作的地方捡垃圾桶里的食物填肚子，这也太过分了。

So am I. That is a big part of why I never want others to be hungry like that. I donate decent food and cash to food banks. Stuff you can eat cold or without cooking.
我也觉得糟透了。这也是我绝不想让其他人再经历这种饥饿的重要原因。我会给食品银行捐些能直接吃、不用煮的食物和现金。

I worked at BK years ago and I’ve totally eaten the “waste” burgers. But one of our managers let us take home the leftovers.
我好几年前也在汉堡王打过工，也吃过那些 “被丢弃” 的汉堡。不过我们当时有个经理会让我们把剩的食物带回家。
Eggshellpain
My dad did that even way back when. Had to limit it after "waste" tripled but employees could take a couple of meals after a shift. Restaurants I worked at always had a free food you could snack on, last place was soup and cornbread, then either a meal credit or the family meal.
我爸很早以前也这么做过。后来因为 “损耗的食物” 突然翻了三倍，才开始限制这种行为，但员工下班还是能拿几份餐食。我待过的餐厅都会提供免费的小食，上一份工作的餐厅会提供汤和玉米面包，之后还能领一份餐食券或者家庭套餐。

Add a little bit of salt and pepper to a large glass of warm water and drink that.
The flavor and the heat will be comforting and reminiscent of food, even if it can’t feed you.
I am so sorry you’re going through this.
Is there a dollar store near you somewhere?
Could you ask your neighbors if you could borrow 10 bucks and buy a large bag of rice?
If you’re so hungry that you’re dizzy and in this much pain, now is not the time for pride.
往一大杯温水里加一点点盐和胡椒粉，然后喝下去。
这味道和温热的感觉会带来些许慰藉，让人想起食物的味道，就算填不饱肚子也好。
真的很抱歉你要经历这些。
你附近有一元店吗？
能不能问问邻居借 10 美元，买一大袋大米？
如果你已经饿到头晕、疼得难受，现在就别讲面子了。

I looked at your other posts and found where you are located, and you're not near me, but don't be shy if you see someone with chickens to ask if they ever give away their extras.
My hens kept laying all winter, and I expected the slowdown. I give away a dozen eggs regularly to anyone in need. I don't care who takes them; I simply say pay it forward when you can.
我看了你其他的帖子，找到了你的位置，虽然离我不近，但如果你看到养小鸡的人，大胆问问他们会不会送些多余的鸡蛋，别不好意思。
我的母鸡整个冬天都在下蛋，我本来以为会减产的。我经常给有需要的人送一打鸡蛋，不管是谁我都给，只说一句，等你有能力了就把这份善意传递下去。

This is such an important comment. Get to know your neighbors. You don't have to be buddy buddy but say hi, wave, help somebody move a piece of furniture. Community is so important. I don't know all my neighbors names but if one of them knocked on my door and said could you spare a meal until I get paid again I'd gladly do it. I can't imagine someone living next to me suffering in silence because of pride or shame rather than ask for help.
这条评论说得太对了。多和邻居打交道吧，不用成为密友，简单打个招呼、挥挥手，帮别人搬搬家具就好。社区的力量太重要了。我甚至不知道所有邻居的名字，但如果有邻居敲我家门，说撑到发薪日前能不能蹭口饭，我肯定乐意。我实在无法想象，有人就住在我隔壁，却因为好面子、觉得丢人，宁愿默默挨饿也不愿开口求助。

I think anyone who lives pay check to paycheck without savings or a kitchen/pantry full of dried goods/staples should be encouraged to go to food banks and stock up. BEFORE something bad happens and they are stuck. It is insane to me that people in this country work and can’t afford to eat. Just insane.
Food banks. Get a reserve of shelf stable food for your families!
我觉得，凡是月光族，没存款、家里也没囤货和主食的人，都该被鼓励去食品救济站囤点吃的。一定要未雨绸缪，不然真的会陷入绝境。这个国家的人辛辛苦苦工作，却连饭都吃不起，简直太离谱了，真的太离谱了。
都去食品救济站吧，给家人囤点耐放的食物！

i just moved from somewhere that didnt allow cooking (strict roommates) so i got way too comfortable with not buying food. to make matters worse, i barely had cutlery / dishes, stored them in my car, and then got hit by a drunk driver and that got destroyed in the midst of it ♀️ i just turned 19 so still learning common sense things like that

My local food bank is garbage in this city and I refuse to use them. They give out near expired (some times expired) food items, give cereal in ziploc baggies, a sleeve of crackers and prune juice.
It's like the food banks themselves are digging around in the back alley of the grocery stores to stock their shelves.
No thank you, I don't know where those hands have been that are putting stuff in ziplocs & I'm convinced I got pinkeye the last time I went.
It's so so rough when you have decide between literal starvation or eating a can of turnips and drinking prune juice. Even the senior center home delivery food service is yuck, especially if you have food restrictions or allergies, like I have.
我所在城市的食品救济站糟透了，我再也不会去了。他们发的都是快过期的，有的甚至已经过期了，麦片装在自封袋里，就只给一小包饼干和西梅汁。
感觉他们的物资都是从杂货店的后巷里翻出来的。
算了吧，我真不敢想象那些装东西的手碰过什么我上次去了之后，肯定是得了结膜炎。
真的太煎熬了，你不得不做选择：要么活活饿死，要么吃一罐芜菁、喝西梅汁。就连老年人活动中心的上门送餐服务，伙食也差得要命，尤其是像我这样有饮食禁忌或过敏的人。
Cold_Entertainer1183
Just because there's a "best by or use by" date on a food package doesn't make the food no good. It might not taste as fresh, but it's still edible. Especially if you haven't eaten for a day or 2.
食品包装上的 “最佳食用日期” 或 “食用截止日期”，并不代表食物就坏了。可能口感没那么新鲜，但还是能吃的，尤其是当你已经一两天没吃东西的时候。

I think there's not really a choice if you're choosing between food and literal starvation.
如果摆在你面前的选择是吃这些东西或者活活饿死，那其实根本没得选。

starvation through ibs/chrons/glueten issues? So, in a country where there is so much food for the wealthy the poor have to chose between eating food that'll make them sick enough to put them in the hospital or not eating such food or just going without food? Yeah, tell me how great AMerica is again? Old poor people with medical issues should just die and get out of the way, right?
I think you're misunderstanding that 'cheap' food is edible food, when in fact eating such craptastic food will literally put me in the crapper then straight into the ER.
SO, no to the food banks in my current area where the staples are generic spaghetti noodles (sometime boxed but mostly in a ziploc bag), peanut butter (nope), crackers (nope), ziploc bagged cereal flakes (nope) block of some kind of cheese (again, in a ziploc bag), rice, high fructose grape juice...
These are all foods that can trigger and potentially put me in the hospital.
I am grateful for the summertime senior farmer market voucher the city gives though.
那我是要因为肠易激综合征、克罗恩病、麸质过敏饿死吗？在这个富人衣食无忧的国家，穷人却要做选择：要么吃这些会让自己病到进医院的食物，要么不吃，直接挨饿？行，再跟我说说美国有多好？贫穷老人身体不好就该去死，别挡路，是吗？
我觉得你根本没明白，“便宜的食物” 不一定是 “能吃的食物”。事实上，吃这些糟糕的东西，真的会让我上吐下泻，然后直接进急诊室。
所以，我绝对不会去我所在地区的食品救济站，他们的标配就是杂牌意大利面（有时候有包装盒，大多装在自封袋里）、花生酱（我吃不了）、饼干（我吃不了）、自封袋装的麦片（我吃不了）、一块不知道什么种类的奶酪（还是装在自封袋里）、大米、高果糖葡萄汁……
这些食物都会诱发我的病情，甚至可能让我进医院。
不过我还是很感激市里夏天给老年人发的农贸市场代金券。

Going off of the information I’ve gleaned from the post and some advice from the other commenters, my 2 cents would be that this next week (while you and your partner are waiting on the paychecks) is unfortunately a rice, beans and tortilla moment (either by themselves or as burritos). These are most likely your cheapest options for food that may not be the tastiest, but is indeed filling.
And if nothing else, like others have suggested, going to a local food pantry/bank may serve you well.
从帖子里的信息和其他网友的建议来看，我说句心里话，接下来这一周，也就是你和伴侣等发薪的这段时间，恐怕只能靠米饭、豆子和玉米饼过了，单吃或者包成卷饼都行。这些可能是你能买到的最便宜的食物，虽然味道不怎么样，但管饱。
如果实在没别的办法，就像其他人建议的，去当地的食品救济站看看，会有帮助的。

THIS! Dealing with stress while trying to not let it affect others makes the pain so much harder. If the challenges are frequent or prolonged, it makes maintaining relationships really difficult, which shrinks your social safety network.
Poverty is a multilayered bitch.
说得太对了！一边承受着压力，一边还要强撑着不影响别人，这种痛苦只会加倍。如果这种困境反复出现，或者持续很久，会严重影响人际关系，进而让你的社交支持圈越来越小。

I don’t mean to be offensive but I have an unethical life hack if your partner be okay with you going on a dating app? You can get men to buy you food pretty easily, sometimes you dont even have to go on a date with them.
I used to do this in med school to get by. I wouldn’t even go on dates sometimes I would just ask them to doordash me food and they would. Give them a nearby apartment complex or something you don’t actually live at for safety.
我不是故意冒犯，但我有个不太道德的小妙招，如果你伴侣不介意的话，你可以试试交友软件？很容易让男生给你买吃的，有时候甚至都不用约会。
我读医学院的时候，就是靠这个撑过来的。有时候我甚至都不跟他们约会，只是让他们点外卖送过来，他们都会照做。为了安全，你可以给他们一个附近不是你真实住址的公寓小区就行。
localpunktrash
Stay safe obv but yeah this is an incredibly effective method. I've even put it in my bio that I was mostly on the app to be wined and dined and then left tf alone and it didn't hurt my results st all. Your partner can even pick you up, just say he's your Uber! If using your address always say you have roommates or the building has multiple tenants.
Oh ang going to the dollar store, getting a window marker and writing "just married" with a venmo or cash app under it
当然，一定要注意安全，但这办法真的特别管用。我甚至直接在个人简介里写，我上这个软件主要就是想有人请我吃好喝好，然后互不打扰，结果效果一点都没受影响。你伴侣甚至可以去接你，就说他是你的网约车司机！如果非要给真实地址，就说你有室友，或者这栋楼里住了很多人。

Don't forget to check out the little blessing boxes near you, too. The one at the library in my town has different things every time I look, but often has canned soup, canned beans, ramen, sometimes fruit. Basically, if you have a bowl, a spoon, and a microwave, you could make a meal.
别忘了看看你附近的爱心小盒子。我们镇上图书馆门口就有一个，每次看里面的东西都不一样，但通常会有罐装汤、罐装豆子、拉面，偶尔还有水果。基本上，只要你有碗、有勺子、有微波炉，就能做一顿饭。

I’m glad you mentioned that! I’m actually getting ready to build one of those along with a little library to put in front of my house. I’m not doing great on money either so it’ll be mostly stuff like Ramen noodles and graham crackers but it’s better than starving. And I’m eating that same stuff lol.
很开心你提到这个了！我正准备在我家门口建一个爱心食物盒，再搭一个迷你图书馆。我自己经济状况也一般，所以里面主要会放拉面、全麦饼干这类东西，但总比挨饿强。而且我自己也吃这些东西，哈哈。

For sure! I like that I can drop stuff by to donate at any time, and likewise, that people can get stuff any time. My town's food pantry is only open a few days a month. They do what they can, but there's a lot more need out there. Wasting food is a sin. Giving what I don't need/can't use away is a great way to not waste!
那是当然！我喜欢这种随时能去捐东西的方式，其他人也能随时去拿。我们镇上的食品救济站一个月只开几天，他们已经尽了最大努力，但需要帮助的人实在太多了。浪费食物是种罪过，把自己用不上的东西捐出去，就是避免浪费的好办法！

你所在的地区有 “免费分享群” 吗？里面的人会把多余的食物送出去，你也可以直接求购。如果你在美国，所在的州有211热线的话，就打这个电话求助。

I’m so sorry you’re going thru this! I lost my job and somehow got the runaround for 7 months on unemployment food stamps ecta att from the food pantry with no car it was hell! Sad to say I t happens a lot now. Prayers and ask at a church or something they know the local places. It breaks my heart we have this in America while they spend money on everything thing else but Americans that need help!
真的很抱歉你要经历这些！我丢了工作，失业金、食品券这些福利，我申请了 7 个月都被各种推诿，没车的情况下，去食品救济站领东西更是难上加难！说起来真的心酸，现在这种情况太常见了。为你祈祷，去教堂问问吧，他们知道当地的救助渠道。真的太心寒了，美国把钱花在各种地方，却不管本国需要帮助的人！

When you do get your paycheck- If you live near any Asian supermarkets (there should be several if you live in Houston), buy a 25lb bag of rice, and a bottle of soy sauce and can of chicken soup powder in the condiment aisle. A little bit of rice can go a long way and a tiny bowl of leftover cooked rice with water can turn into a whole pot of rice porridge. 25lb properly stored (plastic airtight dog-food container), will easily last you 6 months or more, depending how frequently you eat it. You can add the soup powder directly into the water when cooking the rice so rice is savory when done. A $20 4 cup rice pot at Target/Walmart will make it even easier. I’m a family of 4 that cooks rice at least once a week and 25lbs last us easily a year+.
等你发了工资后，如果你住在休斯顿，附近应该有不少亚洲超市，去买一袋 25 磅的大米，再在调料区买一瓶酱油、一罐鸡汤粉。一点点大米就能吃很久，吃剩下的一小碗熟米饭，加水上锅煮，就能变成一大锅粥。25 磅的大米，如果用密封的塑料狗粮收纳盒妥善保存，至少能吃 6 个月，具体看你吃的频率。煮米饭的时候，直接把鸡汤粉加到水里，煮出来的米饭会有咸味，特别香。在塔吉特或者沃尔玛花 20 美元买个 4 杯容量的电饭煲，煮起来会更方便。我们一家四口，每周至少煮一次米饭，25 磅的大米足足能吃一年多。

How much does a bag of rice and one rotisserie chicken cost in America? I'll send it by Paypal/Wise to OP.
在美国，一袋大米和一只烤鸡要多少钱？我通过线上支付转给楼主。
Jellyfish0107
She can probably look for rice between the price range of $15-$30 for 25lbs- depending where she shops. A rotisserie chicken is about $5-$9.
她大概能买到15到30美元一袋的25磅大米，具体看在哪家店买。一只烤鸡大概5到9美元。

What city are you located in? Sounds like there may be people on this thread that would/could put some food together for you. Try local churches as well, they have hampers they give even if people don't belong to that specific church.
你在哪个城市？看起来帖子里有人愿意给你准备点吃的。也试试当地的教堂，他们会发食品包，就算你不是那个教堂的信徒也会给。

Can't you go to food banks?
你就不能去食品银行吗？
morgue-angel
my partner is using the car to doordash and start work atm, also this is kinda embarrassing but i dont really have pots and pans and bowls and stuff to actually cook with, i usually eat prepackaged things since i just moved from a roommate situation that didn’t allow cooking
我伴侣现在要开着车送外卖、去新工作上班，而且说出来有点丢人，我其实连锅碗瓢盆都没有，之前住的地方不让做饭，我一直吃预包装食品，所以也没置办这些东西。
econroy
Most food pantries have plenty of pre packaged things. Mocrowaveable ramen, granola bars, cereal, etc.
大多数食品救济站都有很多预包装食品，比如微波拉面、格兰诺拉麦片棒、麦片等等。

Have you applied for SNAP?
你申请补充营养援助计划了吗？
morgue-angel
i have, but it was a while ago as food isn’t usually an issue for me, my paycheck being delayed just threw me off a ton
申请过了，不过是很久以前了，因为我平时基本不会缺吃的，这次就是工资延迟，一下子被打了个措手不及。
[dexed]
Email your request for prompt payment of delayed check. Check your governing payday laws for guidance. Typically, if you send written request for pay, they're obligated to respond and issue payment with a finite time period- be it 24 hours or a business day after they recieve your request. When they don't pay up, you file a claim with the labor board/workforce commission if pay is late/overdue/delayed.
发邮件要求公司立即支付延迟的工资，查一下当地的发薪相关法律作为依据。一般来说，如果你以书面形式要求发薪，公司有义务在规定时间内回应并支付，可能是收到申请后的 24 小时，也可能是一个工作日。如果他们还是不发，就向劳工局或就业委员会投诉，举报他们拖欠工资。
morgue-angel
it was delayed for an actual reason; i was transferring to another store location in another city, got approved, then had to cancel it because i got into a really bad car wreck that set me back. so for whatever reason, that messed with my paycheck processing. idk if that changes being able to do something like that.
这次工资延迟是有实际原因的：我之前申请调去另一个城市的分店，审批通过了，结果后来出了一场严重的车祸，事情被耽搁了，我就取消了调岗。不知道为什么，这事就影响了我的工资发放流程，我不知道这会不会影响维权。
[dexed]
Direct deposit or hardcopy check shouldn't be delayed. If hardcopy check is delayed, they should overnight it to your possession within 24 hours.
不管是直接打款还是纸质支票，都不该延迟发放。如果是纸质支票延迟了，他们应该在 24 小时内用快递寄给你。

I lived in Connecticut but this happened to me once and it took a day or two but I just told the manager there wasn’t a way I could afford to wait a week for a check not that it even has to get to that point but I was desperate
我以前住在康涅狄格州，也遇到过一次这种情况，不过只等了一两天。我直接跟经理说，我根本等不起一周，其实根本没必要闹到那一步，但当时我是真的走投无路了。

you need to get a hold of the drunk driver's insurance company. They will pay your lost wages due to the accident. also, lawyers work on commission for auto accidents and getting hit by a dui will be a case.
你得联系那个酒驾司机的保险公司，他们应该赔偿你因车祸产生的误工费。而且处理车祸的律师都是按提成收费的，对方是酒驾，这个案子很好打。

i do have an attorney! my settlement is taking a while to process but its on the way

so you are saying you are “poor” however you then mentioned using door dash…. obviously you do not see what is wrong with this picture….. STOP using door dash! go to the grocery store. do better
合着你说自己 “穷”，结果又说点外卖…… 你显然没看出这其中的问题…… 别点外卖了！去杂货店买！长点记性。

i meant doordash as in we are the drivers, not ordering
我是说我们是送外卖的，不是点外卖的。

I feel this. I spend like 50$ on 2 weeks of food lol. I mainly make sandwiches and pasta. My proteins are just tuna, eggs and ground beef. Rice dishes too. I try to stretch it whenever I can rn.
我太懂这种感受了。我花 50 美元能买两周的吃的，我主要做三明治和意面，蛋白质来源就是金枪鱼、鸡蛋和牛肉末，也会做各种米饭料理。现在这种情况，我想尽办法省着吃。

Door Dash is expensive. If your partner has some cash, hit the grocery store.
外卖太贵了，如果你伴侣身上还有点现金，去杂货店买吧。

i meant doordash as in working for them not ordering it lol!
我是说我们在送外卖，不是点外卖啦！（都几遍了）

There is nothing wrong with going to a food bank. You shouldn't be going hungry.
哦，抱歉！笑哭
去食品银行没什么丢人的，你不该挨饿。

Check out a Sikh gurdwara (temple). Looks like there are several in Houston. They serve free community meals that are open to all. And the food is delicious!
去看看锡克教的谒师所（寺庙）吧，休斯顿有好几家。他们会提供免费的社区餐，所有人都能吃，而且食物超好吃！

Think about the millions of people in this country that struggle with hunger every day at least you a paycheck coming albeit it’s late. Go to the food pantry and get some food but do not order food with DoorDash that is expensive order the food online and go get it yourself
想想这个国家还有数百万人每天都在忍饥挨饿，至少你还有工资可以等，只是晚发一点而已。去食品救济站领点吃的，但别点外卖，太贵了，网上点好自己去取就行。

Im so sorry :( Theres some subs on here who will donate to those in need. Maybe someone could venmo or cashapp you a few dollars to hold you over. I used to go hungry a lot when I was in HS because my family was poor and living paycheck to paycheck. I luckily had friends who would donate food to me but I understand how hard this can be. I hope you can get out of this situation soon Stay safe and try local food banks/pantries.
真的太心疼了论坛上有一些专门给有需要的人捐款的板块，或许有人会通过Venmo或支付app转你几块钱应急。我高中的时候经常挨饿，因为家里穷，也是月光族。幸好当时有朋友给我送吃的，我太懂这种苦了。希望你能快点走出困境注意安全，试试当地的食品救济站吧。
