I haven't carried change/cash in a long time. I don't need to anymore, thank god. When I have to carry cash, its spent immediately. It just prevents me from wasting my money on shit.
So, when someone asks for change, I obviously don't have anything to give. Rarely, will a person come to me hungry and asking for money. if they did, I'd buy them a burger or something, but I wouldn't give them money even if I had it.
My city is strange like that though. there's a couple of men that stand on mainstreet islands on the road, dragging their foot or limping (real or fake, I dunno), with a sign, asking for change. my city has plenty of homeless shelters, food banks, etc, so most people that really need help, are taken care of.
