That’s the latest way panhandlers are asking for money around here. In other words, if you’re feeling generous, I’ll take whatever I can get.
Recently, 7-11 has had a deal where if you get a coffee and a donut, it’s actually cheaper than just getting the coffee. Since I don’t usually eat donuts, I’ve been getting the deal, and giving the donut to someone at work. Since there are so many programs available here for the homeless, I usually don’t give them money. Sometimes I even put them in touch with someone who can help, if I have a little time. So, yesterday, when a guy asked me for a quarter or a dollar or a cigarette (which I wouldn’t have anyway), I gave him a donut.
