The people who like to pat themselves on the back by giving to pan handlers should get a big fat fine

One thing I do when asked for money etc is to reply that I am unemployed.
It works every time.
Also learned a tip from a friend who is a smoker. Someone sees you with a cigarette they will try to mooch one. He carried two packs , one with one cigarette and another with the rest. When asked he would show the pack with one cigarette and tell them he had one left. It worked good , saved him a lot of money from moochers.

Just keep walking like they're not there. I saw a gal in Walmart parking lot riding a Walmart scooter around the parking lot hitting up people loading groceries in their car.

I saw public-funded firemen in Fayetteville AR begging money in the streets with a fire engine parked along the street.

I was checking gas pumps about 10 years ago. Had one of the pan handlers come up to me and ask, I said, “hey, I saw how many people gave you money in the couple hours I was there, I was going to ask you for a few dollars” he laughed and said he has been “working” that area for a few years and makes about $150-$200 a day… all tax free.
If people feel good giving them money, I say good for them.
And if the “pan handler” is enjoying themselves getting some tax free money, good for them also.
