do you respond/acknowledge the person? i NEVER do, because 99% of the time it's someone asking for money, and the other 1% of the time it's someone trying to give me a flyer.

has this actually happened to you? that's pretty aggressive panhandling right there. i feel like if this happened to me, i would tell the person to "get a fucking job" or something equally spiteful

i ignore these people and incredibly sometimes they get really angry about it.

i look at like: i've given enough money to beggars in my lifetime. i'm retired. in my experience they are not the people who could best use the money. the really helpless people are not able to go around hustling spare change in a parking lot or something. so i just give to charity (though this is not without complication, since many charities turn out to be scams themselves, jfc).

Lol. There is a guy here whose shtick is hanging out in phone booths and then trying to ask people for change to make a phone call. I see him ALL the time and he actually gets really indignant and offended and heckles people who ignore him.

When someone asks me for money I just say "no thank you".

Seems to work well, while they are standing there confused you walk off.

[INT. SEATTLE – 3RD & PINE – DUSK]

Rain kisses the pavement. A black man with a clipboard intercepts a white tech worker in Allbirds. The man says, “Excuse me, sir,” like it’s a test. The tech worker does not stop. His AirPods are not in.

[CUT TO: INT. STARBUCKS RESERVE ROASTERY – SAME TIME]

A woman in a yellow beanie is crying into her MacBook. Her screen reads “Final Sprint Planning – Q2.” A barista, 23, nonbinary, hands her a cortado with a heart in the foam. It says “You matter.” She does not look up.

[CUT TO: EXT. I-5 OVERPASS – NIGHT]

A man named Trey is selling expired Nature Valley bars for $5 apiece. When asked why, he says: “Used to say ‘spare change.’ Now I say ‘sir.’ Gets more guilt that way.”

[PAN TO SKY – SOUND OF A LIGHT RAIN INTENSIFYING]

Offscreen, a Metro bus hisses, and we hear:

“You just hit my glasses, man. You owe me fifty dollahs. Those were my glasses, man.”

[FADE TO BLACK]
