okay, so yesterday i am feeling pretty good, i have good health, a job all that stuff. so i head to my fave coffee shop down the road on coffee break and this panhandler approaches me outside. sure, i say, when i come back out i'll give you some change.
gets me coffee, comes back outside and handed the fellow $5. he asks for more money. first i laughed. then i realized he was serious....what???? i ask him, and he stated he needed more like $7 to buy a 'proper' breakfast. i told him he could take the $5 and buy a coffee and two muffins in the coffee shop. was i right to be offended? somebody explain to me what happened here? or more likely, what is happening on our society?? should i feel offended that someone wanted even more when they were panhandling, or should that be expected. explain please. arrgggg 8O

My favorite is the drugie that use to come to starbucks. You would be in the lineup and she would come along and say, buy me a coffee, I need one. Now she was not asking nicely, it was more a order or demand. First time I told her, you got alot of nerve, asking me like that. To which she replied get over it, just buy me the coffee. Well her approach amused me, so I bought her a coffee a few times. She is banned now, she walked off with one of those 400.00 coffee machines that was in a box on the counter. They know it was her. But the street people here as you know are a uppty bunch.
