I think ACE has a clever "round up the change" campaign going on. You can choose to round up your purchase price to the next dollar. The proceeds are going to a charity but forgot which one.

i dont know but we need them on  WLH and Northpark. getting tired  of complete strangers approaching my car asking for money. its also a distraction and potential road hazard imo. they wear no identyfying clothing, an orange vest doesnt cut it, and we have zero idea if this is a legitimate organization or  scam. it should NOT be allowed. 4951

Walmart is the worst. It seems everytime I decide to run in there you have to dodge these people wanting handouts. The other day I was in Randall's and these people were walking around trying to sell make up. They were very pushy and annoying. I finally alerted the store director who quickly put a stop to it. 4951

@yankeejessica: I don't understand how they can have school aged kids sitting by the road during school hours and not get into trouble. Thursday I saw a woman and 3 kids scamming/begging.

Funny how it is the same yet different in other countries. When we were in Cape Town we would always see about 30 guys at every traffic light selling stuff. I have to admit, I'd rather see someone selling instead of begging as long as they stay out of my way. We had guys try to sell us coat hangers, plastic garbage bags, carved wooden African animal figures, paintings, all kinds of things. One guy had a small sewing machine, once we saw a guy with a microwave oven. It was really quite funny. 4951

They panhandle/beg where is profitable to do so.  If people would stop giving they would move along... 4951
