And a anti-welfare individual was born.
I've had a similar thing happen, but slightly different. Guy approached me asking for money for food and I stated I wouldn't give him the money but I'd be happy to bring him out some food from the fast food place I was entering. He bitched about it, so I told him he wasn't getting it. After work, I drove by the intersection and the guy was sitting on the corner with a vodka bottle. Guess I know where my money would have ended up.
