It depends on the situation.However,there are many panhandlers who are either persistent and aggressive.There are also those who tell you how much to give them.It is not that I would not help them,but threats don’t inspire anyone who would like to help.Some of these panhandlers do not recognize that appreciation and gratefulness would benefit them accepting whatever help they are offered.
You are welcome.

Great points, Myriam! Thank you for sharing and for your participation!
