Homeless do the opposite of the musician really, throw a coin/bill into their glass and they will take it out and save it somewhere else.
"Nobody has donated, have some compassion" works for some.
- ska 11y agoThey often (usually?) will leave some small change though. Panhandlers are common targets of theft, which may explain stashing most of what they get in various places less exposed.
- Lawtonfogle 11y agoYeah, there are a lot of factors into how much you leave in the pot. Grandparent's post was just one of the pressures to leave more money, though one that most people aren't aware of.
- wanderfowl 11y agoYep. You don't want to be the guy with $100 in a cup held out in front of you. Remember, it's almost as easy to dip a bill out as it is to dip one in.
- nsxwolf 11y agoI like when they pick out the pennies from my donations and throw them on the ground. I then pick them up, because the pennies are valuable to me.
- developer1 11y agoYou have a home to stash the pennies in to save them up. Someone who lives on the street can't carry around pounds of pennies around until they have thousands of them to exchange for larger currency. Pennies might have value long-term, but they are worthless if you can't stash them in bulk. Disclaimer: Canadian, we abolished pennies because they are worthless and a pain in the ass. ;)
