[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have an organized group of people panhandling on our nearest corner. They take shifts and get a lunch break with food brought in by the manager. You have to sit at the Starbucks for a while before you realize just how many employees this guy has. Most people driving by don’t actually see the quantity of money being given nor realize that it’s overseen by a manager. It’s not really a scam to hold out your hand and it’s not really a tragedy to fleece the stupid. These things exist because each side gets something out of it. [/quote] OP here. Problem is, the folks in our neck of the woods often rap on windows, step out in the street, and otherwise create a hazard. In addition, when folks offer real help in the form of food, gift certificates to a food restaurant, etc. they get angry and nasty.[/quote]
