Panhandlers at McDonalds
This morning on the way to work, I whip into Mickey D's to get coffee and a McMuffin for the commute. I'm sitting in the drive thru, waiting to place my order. This guy walks up to the car window, panhandling. He asked me for fifty cents. I said, "hey, if you're going to beg for money, at least think bigger. Ask me for a five, or a ten. Hell, ask for a dollar. The dollar menu is a dollar. I offered to buy him a sandwich, but not give him money. So he blinked a couple times, then he moved on the car behind me to keep schmoozing for cash. When I got my receipt at the top it said "MANAGEMENT POSITIONS AVAILABLE." Hey, McD's, why not give this beggar on your drive thru line a management position? Win-Win, problem solved!

Got a McDonalds right across from me with bums hanging all over it. Went to lunch yesterday and they were opening a new Umpqua bank on Sansome and had two food trucks, Indian cuisine and Japanese out there serving free food if you had a coupon. Employee comes up to me and asks if I would like one so I said yes. They gave me a huge free lunch of tiki masala, curried potatoes, rice, and a bunch of other stuff and didn't ask me for the coupon. When I came back I go up to one of the bums in front of McDonalds and give him the coupon and told him all he had to do was walk around the corner to get it. Dude was too damn lazy to even get up and walk over there. You give anything to these guys you are really a part of the problem, not the answer.

I have a rule that I will only help people that will accept food and if they don't accept food you know what the money is for

I don't think anybody would think, "Guy who'll sell everything for .50." As a good investment for management.

They should promote from within, and hire the bum as an entry level bathroom cleaner. Let the bum work his way up the chain.

I was driving through town yesterday and saw a young man maybe early 20's with a sign that said "Homeless Anything will Help" over one block away was another man with a "Help Wanted" sign.
When I told my wife about it I said they were only a block apart she informed me that they were Miles and Miles apart. |

I've done the same thing before... and I've only been taken up on the offer once.
About 2 years ago, it was maybe 10pm and my wife and I were in resort town just wandering around a few places. It was a very active area and this older guy, maybe 60 wandered up and asked if we could spare any money for food. Our first thought was what everyone else thinks - you want it for booze. So, I said, we are more than happy to help you, but only if you go over to that store (it was small supermarket type of place you see in a beach town) and let me buy you some food. The guy smiled and said "I'd love that and appreciate it so much". I think my wife started to get misty eyed at his response. Anyway, I think we bought him $20 worth of stuff... and as we sat at a bar across the road, we looked out about an hour later, there he was on a bench. Eating the food, drinking the water and putting the rest in his back pack. Whether or not he traded some later for booze, I dunno. But, it was a good deal.

Gave five bucks to a kid at McDonald's who was asking for one. Looked hungry and sad as hell. Then I went to Walgreen's and he was there too, asking for money.
I don't usually give to panhandlers because if I gave to every panhandler I saw, I'd go broke. But this kid just seemed so ****ing sad, and he was probably only 14 or 15. I guess I don't care what he ended up doing with it, as long as it wasn't for something that'll make him sadder, like drugs or something. |
