My son just recently started working downtown and had never had experience with panhandlers before. Now, every time he comes out of the Tim Hortons, where he goes on his break, they horde him, and he generally says no, sorry, no change. The other day he told me this one girl kept bugging him so he gave her 30 cents. She said "is that all you have?" to which he replied "yes." Then she said "Are you sure that's all you have" and he said "yes, that's all I have." She then said "Your Pathetic!!!"
He said he just chuckled. Here he is in his Dominion uniform, working 40 hours a week and she's begging in the parking lot of the Tim Hortons and she calls him pathetic!!! No more change for anyone he says now.
