Sorry if this has been asked already
I feel like I spend so much money buying food from fast food chains and such rather then the grocery store and making my own. Do u guys bring food or buy it

Does it annoy anyone else when people say " oh you're JUST a volunteer? " or you're not a "real emt" cus you're not paid? Like people outside of EMS who don't know anything about it. I guess they don't understand its all the same ..
