Not everyone who does community service is there because they have to. It is this reason why his question made him look like a young disrespectful douche. Furthermore, helping people who can't afford food and then asking if you can pay someone to do it for you make you look arrogant to boot.
There's a reason why institutions make young people work in charitable ways instead of pay fines, and it's not solely to help the needy- kudos to the supervisor
