They are EVERYWHERE!
Just this past week...
- A guy that works in the plant of the company I work at asking me a $50 payday loan.
- Outside Wawa, people constantly begging for cash at the entrance of the place
- Some guy at my local gas station with a stupid story about his pregnant wife and how he just lost his job.
- At least 5 people begging/holding signs at intersections on my local city roads.
- Walmart - there is always some dirt bag in the parking lot begging for money. The broken down car story is getting a bit old.
-
The car you drive is too nice.

A 2007 Honda Accord? lol

Ha, well it's the Holidays....license for that sort of thing. People sit just off the Walmart parking lot all day begging for money. All day.
-
That's nothing. Just take a stroll on the Atlantic City boardwalk.
-
u should probably start punching them in the face.
-
Grubby bastards.
Outside my grocery store there is always a rank Indian asking for change and rummaging through the trash cans.
There are ways out of such a predicament. So if one chooses to remain in such a state, there is likely substance or/and mental issues.
I cannot fathom the misery of being homeless. Especially when it’s sub-zero temperatures. Fuck that.
One time at a Greyhound bus terminal I bought a dude a sandwich and coffee. Told him it was me buying the food or no deal. Ain’t gonna give money only for it to be used to buy some hooch.

Because its a lot of tax free money. There are some people getting about 300 bucks a day.

Vince Goodrum, CSN, MFT, HPP, CEO, would you be okay with me moving in with you?

Seriously worst place for beggers
-
I don't blame them as much as I blame the morons who give them money. If people stopped giving them money they would all disappear.

Wawa??

In Ont?
There ain't no 'cities' round those parts.

Legit lol!!!!

I stopped going to the ghetto 7-11 by my work because there's always someone there asking for money. Not the same people but some dudes aren't even polite about it. They're like ,"you got any change".
Just like that, like its a statement and their voice doesn't even go up at the end.
When I get that I just say ,"No". - maintain eye contact and keep walking.
If you don't ask politely I'm not going to even consider it much less reply politely.
Fuck that

lots of people begging for money in the bay area, often with sorry looking children and infants.
Turns out that many of them (probably most) are total scammers
Before the local news broke the story about this group in Hayward I watched one of these scammers that was always outside the local Whole Foods walk around the block and get into a brand new minivan
Most of the panhandlers appear to come from the same Romani community in Hayward, and KPIX's observations suggest that their claims of poverty may not be entirely true:
It turns out the Kleenex crew isn’t as destitute as their 'help me' notes would make it seem. On several different nights we recognized half a dozen of them loading into a couple of Audis, a Mercedes and a Kia and counting their haul for the day.
As for the mothers, day after day like clockwork we watched them stream out of the Fremont parking lot pushing their strollers. We followed them to a residential development about a mile away, where rents for two-bedroom units list at $2,600 a month.

Years ago when I was destitute I asked a beggar for money after he asked me. Bet you got more than I do. C'mon share the wealth man.
They don't like that.
-
Fucking stinking tramps hang around the takeaways in the big market at nights getting drunk students to buy them pizzas and kebabs ect
-
Now we even get begging on social media with gofundme. Lots of stupid causes too.

GoFundMe is a gold mine for bodybuilders and fit chicks
panhandling for money to finance their competitive lifestyles.
Surprised there isn't a thread on here dedicated to the folly
of their selfish enterprises.
Then again. Gb isn't what it used to be.
- Block!

We have all that shit in the UK. Often at petrol stations you ll get some clown claiming hes ran out of fuel going to collect his parent from the airport and his debit card has been stolen and he just needs £20 to help him out.

Wawa??
Wawa is a convenience store chain primarily located is southeastern Pennsylnaia and Southern New Jersey although you can now find them in Virginia and Florida. They are top notch and probably rank near the top compared to similar stores across the country, like Sheetz (western Pennsylvania) and Royal Farms (mid-Atlantic).
I just wish they would do something about the panhandlers!

Yes. They've made a very aggressive turn around over the last 10 years... building new stores with gas stations and they've improved their service and food quality tremendously. They are basically taking over the sandwich/hoagie market. Hard to believe Subway even still exists... not for much longer, I predict.

Recently a guy in his late 20's made over $100 a day (a four hour day) and was picked up and driven home in a 2015 Mercedes.
He admitted that it was sometimes over $200 just recently in a local pub while begging for a Budweiser. because he couldn't find a job due to the bad economy.
The bartender told us that he was in each day, had one beer, and drove home in his Mercedes and has been following that routine for a long time.

Moving in with Aussie Vince would be much better choice , just imagine Christmas/New Year at 40'C ;D ;D

I'm not saying Hitler did a sloppy job on exterminating the Romani, but we would be better off as a species if we only remembered Django Reinhardt.

There was this mid 20’s guy with a cardboard sign on the 92 off ramp in San Mateo in nice shiny dress shoes and jeans dressed better than me. The sf locals are good about not handing money out to the homeless bc they deal with their shit everyday. But outside the city like the peninsula there aren’t any bums so ppl from there give more handouts when they are in the city. The bums on BART you can smell from 20 ft away.

Just one of the reasons why I won't give these sign holding beggars any money. One guy along the blvd I frequent has a sign that says: "Help me get my wife back". I'd have much more respect for him if the sign said: "I need beer money".
-
I think they are organized. I see a van come around and pick them up.

Saw a panhandler using new cellphone the other day.

**on a lighter not , I haven’t yet bought my tv yet , got $1000 and waiting on bestbuy to lower her down a bit

Odd. Why wouldn't they just go independent instead of giving some guy with a van a percentage? Is someone muscling the bums?

maybe they have some kind of commune thing going, or just some organized scam on the public and they share the $
PS these are young white people
