Give away a doggie bag

3. I've been doing this a long time, and it is wise to ask first.

I've also been homeless, hungry, (underage and scavenging to save my gay self from certain homicide) and it made it tougher when the drunks and drug addicts on the street made things worse.
I never begged for a "spare dime". It was some odd, miraculous circumstances that saved me from the streets in 1976.
However, when I see some homeless outside the market, I may offer them a hoagie sandwich.
And it serves as a litmus test:
If they refuse, it's likely they're only seeking the means for next self-destructive behavior the "spare change" supports.
I had one even throw the sandwich into the parking lot, with an acerbic remark. So I ask first.
I can't offer much more, being not that far above potential homelessness again, myself.
