Fault! Whose!?

The restaurant was particularly busy. All the tables were occupied. Waiters were serving their guests. The counter for parcel orders was pretty crowded. Packed food orders getting placed on the counter and people picking them up. One was having dinner, watching all the people and activities around. 

An old beggar walks in discreetly, without being spotted. He reaches the parcel counter and quickly picks one packet and turns around to leave. He is spotted and stopped by a waiter who confronts him. The beggar pleads to be let off crying he is hungry. The waiter takes the packet back and asks the beggar to leave, however, he doesn't move. People gather and ask the beggar to leave, he doesn't budge. Staff forcibly move him out of the restaurant and leaves him on the road. One has finished the idles, paid the bill and one walks out to leave. 

The beggar gets emotional. He throws his walking stick back into the restaurant premises. And the torn clothes and other contents of his bag start flying in. People passing by that busy road watch the scene unravel. 

One of the staff of the restaurant pick the stick and approach him to hand it back and to move him away from the area. The beggar gets terrified and starts to run across the road. Traffic gets affected, he bumps into some bikes and cars before falling on the road. The staff goes near him with the stick and raises it. 

Someone driving on the road, stops and pulls the staff away and sends him back to the restaurant. Someone else buys some food and gives to the beggar. 

One was still standing there, wondering how One must have acted.
