One time I got a lady a sub from walmart, she went inside and returned it for a gift card.. $5 and got alcohol. But she begged me for money for food.
The famous one here is Florida is they NEED gas money to get home usually 40+miles away or get to their spouse who was in a wreck or in the hospital.. They usually have a gas can..
So I ALWAYS offer to go to the gas station and put 5 gallons of gas, so they will have more than enough (that's like $18 worth) and never once NEVER have I had someone say ok here is my gas can, or ok I'll meet you at the gas station across the street.
I usually get hit up for money in the Walmart plaza which also has several fast food chains and 2 gas stations across the street.... It's perfect to catch the lies
:) catches them EVERYTIME.
Or they will say they are hungry and I go I have no cash but I'd be more than happy to buy you food.. You pick (subway, Arby's,Wendy's,blimpy,Chinese, KFC, all in our Walmart plaza)
Once again they never agree they ask if I can get cash back some where..
So to answer you NO I don't ever give them my CASH, but I always offer whatever resource they are asking for.. Food,gas, clothes...)
