A receipt... how come I never thought of that.
I've given to these "Will work for food" or "Please Help - Disabled Vet."
Damn... about a month ago I was at the Hospital Emergency room because my mother was having chest pains (she's okay, she had a Stint put in the next day). Anyway, I was outside making a couple of phone calls and this guy comes up to me and asks if I have any money so he can get his prescription filled. I told him "no" and he kept bugging me while I was trying to talk on the phone. I finished my call and called the Police Department. The guy gave me real weird look and walked away.
I said "no." How difficult is that to understand? Gheese...
