19 times out of 20 I ignore them and act like I don't hear or say I don't have anything on me.
The one time I recent memory I gave anybody some money was about 2 weeks ago at a gas station. I got out of my car and the guy wasn't a jerk or approach me, he kept his distance back where he was. He also said "have any pennies to spare" instead of asking for a few bucks, which I appreciated. So I gave him a buck on teh way out.

I ignore them if they are behind. If I have to respond, I smile and say "No thank you" like they are offering me something. This gets them confused a little. I will not engage in any sort of conversation with them.
One time I gave a guy a few cigarettes because he didn't ask me for money, then when I came out, I saw him picking butts off the ground, so I gave him a few. He thanked me and I thanked him.

I listen long enough to find out if it is a legit request (directions to the nearest good restaurant, that sort of thing). If he's just asking for money I tell him I don't carry cash - which is almost always true anyway.

They normally see me and keep moving.

In all seriousness, politician haircut me gets approached. Shaved head me never gets bothered.
Best one I ever did, a guy asked if I had any money, I just kept repeating that my penis was made of corn flakes.
Ended up with him backing away slowly as I walked toward him mumbling that.

Sarcasm/cultural-reference meter malfunctioning today I see. I guess that's just the way it goes.

Reach in my pocket for my gun so I feel safe and protected and cool.

Check to see what his hands/knuckles look like.

Sorry, no cash. Then I continue being a productive citizen to society.

I have memorized this phrase in the Norwegian language. Works every time: I always end by say, Ya cocacola and hold out my hand.

If they are standing still and I'm waking I typically ignore them. If I'm pumping gas or something and I can't move, then I usually tell them that I don't have cash on me (which isn't a lie). If I'm in my vehicle and they approach me, I'll give them any food that I have in my vehicle. Sometimes I'll give them a beer if I just bought some.
