Reminds me of when I was living in Austin, there were some bikini clad girls panhandling. The police put a stop to that. Guess ya gotta be scuzzy and scary looking to panhandle in Austin.
I'd give her a few $$. Rather give it her than someone I don't don't if it's a scam. At least she's being honest.
John Stossel, news reporter, did a show on the street beggers last year. He dressed up like a bumm and collected money, but he collected more when he changed his sign to, "Just want to buy beer." He actually had people pose for pictures of him and that sign.
One guy, he was so thankful - he was like "It's like I am invisible." I told him that he was a reality many people would have to face two pay checks away. People don't like that.
