Thoughts and Panhandling ….
When I came to live in Chicago I knew my daily commute would begin and end at the train station with the running of a gauntlet of people asking me to give them money. No, I am not talking about government officials but people asking to spare a dollar to help them out.
I am as generous as I can be with people I think are truly needed but this past morning I was struck by a wierd sight.
A man asking for a donation from me was wearing a New York Yankees baseball cap. As a strong Yankees fan I was more than willing to help out a fellow fan but I worried about his marketing theory.
Asking people who live in Chicago for money …. shouldn’t he have been wearing a Cubs or White Sox cap?
