Chris Kolstad had seen people fishing out food from the dumpster behind his pizza shop before, but recently, he realized it was becoming more frequent.

So, on July 29, he took to Facebook to make a public plea.

“Please do not eat out of our dumpster,” wrote Kolstad, the owner of Pizza Man in Columbia Heights, Minnesota . “Nobody deserves that. If you are that desperate for food, please come ask.”

“If you are too embarrassed to ask, find a way to call us and ask if there is a way to leave a small cheese pizza outside the back door or something. You don’t even have to see us,” he continued. “If you are the ones doing so, leave me a note and we will find a way to leave any extras or mistakes out back so you have something to eat without going through the trash.”
