Well in truth, I have never had a "Panhandler" approach me at a
theater. Usually they stand on the exit ramps of highways around here.
On rare occasions, I have had them approach and I just ignore
them..However, there's shelters in the area which I DO contribute. I
like to do as the Rockerfellers did, they would give to Organized
charities, not just hand out $20 to all those who asked.
It's called "bunching your hits" and I see it's WAY better then
trusting an individual on the street with cash.
