I went to get a quick lunch, whilst in the drive-through q it became obvious that a beggar was on the prowl for money & then he came to me, I was in in a quite posh convertible car with the roof down so it was not as if I could ignore him. So after commenting on the "quality ride man" he asked for money & I refused, he said he was hungry so I said I would buy him food but not give him money, he asked for a double cheeseburger & a coke, I said I would buy him the burger, & after he insisted he wanted a coke as well I said it would be just the burger. Imagine my surprise when he was nowhere near the counter when I went through, so I drove around again to hand it to him just as he was being escorted off the premisses by the biggest guy they could muster, only to get a subtle thumbs up from the guy as he dragged his arse out of there.
I know it's quite a random story but it did make me feel better about myself today 😳

You should have just told him to get a job. Or at least made him wash your car.

That's what Dave and George would want.

So you didn't tell security you were buying a hungry man food? And let them take him away? Nice.

Everybody needs a tasty beverage to wash down their delicious burger....

I think you might now be in a spot of bother

Maybe the op was worried about it rotting the beggars teeth, should have got him a happy meal instead.

I thought the bit about the car was just part of what must be a lame troll.

I walked past a one-legged beggar yesterday. I didn't put money in his cup, but I did return his smile. The world is OK.

True story.

You should come to South Africa to live - you can drive around in an expensive car all day long ignoring beggars if you want to 🙂

A mate of mine once offered to buy a guy fish and chips but not give him money. He only wanted the money. I guess when he had collected enough he would go for a nice steak.
