Guy at a 7-11 in Arlington approached me, told him I had no cash, but offered to buy him $10.00 worth of gas. He said he would rather have the cash. So I don't bother with them anymore.
I've had beggars hit me up on quite a few occasions with some sob story. Every time they start with their story, I can't help but think of Clinger in MASH. He always had some sob story of why he needed to travel back to the states and get out of the army.
