I dont mind giving them cash, just hardly ever have change on me so it's an unwanted interaction having to tell them sorry no cash on me

I have the odd time done this but then it becomes a big interaction and I only came out to grab milk for the baby. And the other thing, there are actually loads of people stopping and getting stuff for the begger as well so they are usually already drinking a can of coke and with a bar. So it would be kind of like, is there anything else I can get you that you haven't already been given. |

Sorry dont support begging. I've sat opposite lads on train, laughing and counting their takings, with free travel cards so obviously in receipt of a generous social welfare system. If there are addiction issues driving the need to beg, feeding it isnt going to help either, ... having witnessed genuine homeless people(not begging) ive gone home and brought them sleeping bags, jackets and bought hot food to help, BTW I also got scammed before, a woman and child stopped me at tesco asking could i buy some groceries, i bought a bag for them with my own, as i swung around carpark i saw them jump into a fairly new top end amercan style camper, probably valued more than my house

Lots of stories out there . The bottom line is if nobody gave to beggers then there would not be any simple really .

Unfortunately I asked a lady outside SuperValu if I could buy her anything and she said she would come in with me. Lifted a basket, steaks, chicken fillets. I asked her what was going on and she started to raise her voice, said she needs them for the kids. I was a bit embarrassed about her raising her voice so I just paid for them but it was over €60. I am surprised she didn't ask for 20 Bensons at the end.

Jaysus - it's easy to say I would have told her to jog on when she started racking up the stuff but I'd imagine it was fairly awkward/embarrassing when she started raising her voice in the middle of a busy shop. You live and learn I suppose

Kin ell. I don't trust anyone begging. I have seen lads in Galway who look like foreigners out in sleeping bags during the day and night. One or two times I walked by I saw they using an ipad. Must be a solar powered battery eh? I'm sure there's genuine cases but I'm suspicious of them all.

Chique homeless. They've come a long way since I was a lad. Can't afford food for themselves but can afford to pay out over a grand for an ipad.
