I think there's been a social cost from the start, it's just hard to tell since you, as the beggar, have no way of really seeing it. When I think poorly of you for making an illegitimate request, I'm probably just going to pass it over—there's no personal and immediate repercussion. The damage in the long-term is though: I'll definitely think less of that person and won't respond to their otherwise legitimate requests.
