I need some more context

They can ask, but it doesn’t mean that they’ll get any. I had two men who claimed to be recent arrivals from Mexico ask me for money today. I told them that I didn’t carry cash with me (truth). Would I have given them any if I did have some? Probably not. I would have asked them if I could purchase anything for them to eat, though. I didn’t even offer today because I was in a hurry to get home.

If I give it, I don’t expect to get it back. So, it depends on the amount.

People who panhandle? I consider that a job, a kinda difficult one, actually.

My opinion is.... 'no' :) It wont stop me doing something nice for people - just on my terms.

Braver than me. Other than that, they're just people

I usually give it but more recently I've had to decline giving away money. Living on $0 for 3 days of the week isn't so good. I gotta look after myself. They aren't going to. Gotta keep myself above the red line.

Other than that, they just need some proper help. I mean, depending on the circumstance of them asking. If it's a one off and I can afford it. That's okay.

..normal behaviour when you sell your abilities on a job.

Brave.

Hey do what you gotta do

I don't have an opinion. Usually they're poor or desperate. Wait, no, usually they're just desperate. It's fair. Though a lot of them lie about why they need money, like people in Africa and such. Maybe some of those people are rich off of all the donations they get. And asking for money as part of a dating scam is pretty shitty, obviously.
