New panhandling sob story, how low can they go
A decent looking/decently dresses and charismatic black dude who was probably 35-40 stopped me in a parking lot with nobody around late at night the other day. He was seemingly intelligent/normal so I was really surprised when it ended up he was asking for money.

Went out of his way to be like "I live in X neighborhood (some nicer neighborhood)" trying to I guess convince me he's not homeless and is actually stuck in a bad place. Something about needing a car part and only having $20? I don't even remember. But of course it involved a "fiancee" who is still in the car and of course, she's pregnant.

When I said I only carry a credit card, he was like "Can't just get cashback?". I told him I don't think he knows what a credit card is, and walked off.

Sounds like the "my wife is broke down and needs an alternator and it costs $60, I have $40, could you loan me $20 and I'll pay you back scam that I've seen several times, actually fell for it the first time, lol.

Yeah I fell for it once too. Guy even wrote down my email. Never again.

There was a guy asking for change at Chick Fila. Manager told him to take a hike and the guy was pissed. The good Christian customers were giving him money.
