Do you give money to beggars or shop from street vendors?

[Smartman5]

I don't give money to beggars because they can work if they want. But I think it's right to shop from those who sell tissues, bandages, etc. Because they don't beg like beggars. They try to make a living by selling things. I feel sorry for people in this situation. While I live in my warm house and have a lot of food on my table, they are homeless or live in makeshift houses and try to fill their stomachs with a small meal.

I know that some beggars are liars. In fact, there are those who earn their living by resting even though they are not poor.

I give money to beggars if I have cash. It’s not like me giving them $10 hurts anything, and I know a majority of homelessness cases happen because of things outside of someone’s control. And if the street vendors have anything I need or want, I’ll buy something

Yea i do but only to those who really look needy

[Smartman5]

We cannot understand those who appear to be truly in need, because there are many fake people who appear to be in need.

Never. They will see your wallet and follow you try to steal it.

[Smartman5]

I have never seen anyone do that. But yes, there are people who do that.

Agreed on both counts

No, I tell them to beat it.

They can't eat tissues and bandages. If you mean those who sell food, people have other needs. Money is needed to buy them.
