I know the economy is terrible right now and everyone is going through hard times including myself. So why is it that people on the streets always ask me for money? I mean do I look nice or do they think I have "all day sucker" written on my forehead! I mean in Walmarts parking lot, CVS, etc it doesn't fucking matter they always zoom in on me! Anybody else go through this?

today before I went into a store I gave a guy a dollar (which I almost never do anymore just because so many people ask for money) and when I came five minutes later out he asked me if I could spare some change.

I NEVER give money to people on the street... to many shelters and food banks in my area. I give my $$ and time to them instead. People on the street do not get help because they refuse the help offered elsewhere.

They do, but I only give to the kids selling the candy bars.

It's either money or to sign a petition. Not simply a petition 5, 6, 7 of 'em, started losing count on what was what, I stopped.

Yes quite often, just the other day in the Target parking lot I had that happen. I said I was sorry had no money, but told them there was a food bank at my church and gave him the address. He kept saying his wife was pregnant etc...and I kept saying food bank.

Great way to handle beggers

know your area's food banks and direct them there ... The Honest ones will be GREATFUL and find what they need within them

I get asked for money pretty often. I don't usually carry cash, but if I have it on me I give them some.

Sometimes, if they are outside of the place I am eating I invite them in to eat with me.

In college I would go to the store, come out, and have a meal with the homeless guy who was always there, he had a lot of stories to tell.

The most I've ever given someone was 40.
