Do you see panhandlers often?
I see a different panhandler on the same corner almost every week. I wonder if they work together 馃

Yes there are more and more moving into my city, probably due to the amenities they find here, the best place in the state so many charities and churches giving stuff and the word has gotten out. There are 5 who don't ask for money (against the city ordinance) but they play a game of sitting near grocery store doors on sidewalks, and one plays the guitar. Four men sit close together and chat and heard one of them say he had a really nice ride since he came here from California last year. The woman who had been sitting in the same area moved down the shopping center to in front of the Dollar General store.

@iamnikki I believe some of them are working together. like the guy who asked for money inside of a Sprouts grocers, I was shopping alone on a week day and in the back part of the store, no workers or other customers when he started asking for money. I noticed he didn't have a back-pack or duffel bag which most likely meant someone else was guarding it for him, and I'd be willing to bet they took turns inside of stores or where ever they begged. They have all of their real needs provided for here and then want someone who's worked for a living to hand over the money that's been taxed on to them so they can have it tax-free to party on.
