@4meAndyou Nobody likes to be approached inside of a store asking for donations like this when they are trying to shop. These guys know people who are in a store obviously have money to spend.

@Casheyane I don’t even like going to Sams Club and someone who is selling phone or satellite dish plans approaches me to give me a spiel on changing over to their plan. I walk quickly past them.

@cherokeepatti Tbh I don't know what Sams Club is, but I can see how that can get uncomfortable.

In our country, there are some people who go inside malls to ask around for money, especially on restaurants. They get pity so maybe some give them.
Honestly, I'm tempted to. But in the long run, I don't want to encourage them to do that in such places.

@Casheyane had a guy approach me in a health food store at the back of the store when I was shopping. The store wasn’t that busy (mid-week) and the lady who is usually there to assist in the herbal section was away. He approached me giving me a spiel of how he is homeless & needed help if I could give him some $. I just looked at him and he continues saying he’s never asked anyone before for help…I just stared at him. So he went away. It’s against the law to do this outside a business much less inside. There are meal kitchens, food pantries, clothing closets and so much more available for the homeless and then they do this. He chose to approach an older woman who was alone in the far end of the store and no witnesses to what he was doing. Had I given him $ it would have likely went for alcohol or drugs and the police have warned people not to do it considering everything that is given for free. The police have to deal with them when they are out on the streets high or drunk wreaking havoc.

@cherokeepatti your ignorance is showing

@SW-User I worked at a university for 25 years.

@cherokeepatti yeah probably the janitor

@BizSuitStacy When I worked at the university bragging on what they did to get things. Some of the coeds were little gold diggers, they could sweet talk older guys into buying them things etc.

@cherokeepatti Yes. Just about every guy has been duped at least once.

@BizSuitStacy there was one I knew who had a part-time office job and she would brag about going out with guys and the things they bought her…I could tell by the way she would laugh when she was talking, not very good looking but bleached blonde and older guys fell for her and she was manipulative as hell.

@HoraceGreenley me or them?

@Neurotoxin them...sorry for not clarifying

@HoraceGreenley it's all good I'm half awake and not really grasping much
