  • I don’t think it’s necessarily bad to evaluate/judge what they spend it on, but ultimately if that’s your reason for not giving (“bad thing”) then it’s probably just an excuse. I say this to mean I can know they likely will buy liquor and I wish they would buy food instead.

    I give homeless people money sometimes knowing they are lying or might not spend it wisely but I reason that they got into that situation through a lot of bad luck so whatever they decide to spend it on is on them. I have a friend who couldn’t believe I’d given money to a homeless person who lied (they had a quite unbelievable story that sounded like a huge lie anyhow). I explained to my friend that them lying doesn’t mean they don’t have a good reason to need money. They’re only doing it out of desperation and clearly need money.

    Except the problem is not with it being digital. I think the only issue people have is being confused about where to tap, since that is different between machines and it’s not always clear. I guess I could memorize a few different common styles but again that’s not related to it being digital.






  • I have had somewhat similar experiences at times, but not as bad as yours I think. My worst one was this woman who kept claiming to almost have arrived as I stood outside in below-freezing temperatures for over 20 minutes to give her free stuff.

    Finally left the item on the sidewalk and went inside. 40 minutes later she sent a text thanking me for it. I don’t understand why she lied over and over about her location. So stupid and inconsiderate.
