There was a guy outside of Taco Bell in Columbus Ohio who was begging for money so he could get himself a burrito.
So I went inside and bought the man several burritos and soft tacos and a large drink. I walked back out and handed it to him, and he promptly threw it straight in the trash and looked in the eye and reminded me that he had asked for money.

This type of thing happened to me twice. I stopped giving directly and now only donate to charities which vet the recipient and distribute. I’m not paying for someone’s drug or alcohol addiction. I also donate my time.

Always ask if they want the food first.

It’s best to ask, then you know what they really want, and don’t waste your time or theirs.
