If the person is entertaining people and making an effort than I'll give up some coin but just standing there or sitting begging? No thanks, never and fuck off and get away from me.
I work in the downtown core so I get to see, hear and smell it all. I think I am immune and now a bit callus now towards beggars.
I use to ask the local outdoors men (better than calling them what i really want too) if they can count or ask them to recite there abc's. If they can I tell them mcdonalds is always hiring and no coin is given. Sorry I am all for social services helping out our more lazier people of society, that is why I pay taxes.
