A panhandler who might want to find a different location

A panhandler was sitting outside the Bertucci's on Merchants Row (near Faneuil Hall) at lunchtime with a sign reading:

Spare change for
Seafood and
Booze

Maybe sitting outside the Union Oyster House might make more sense with a sign like that?

He's been at the same location with a similar sign for a while.

So it's either actually working for him or he's just not that motivated.

It does work very well... fanueil hall tourists laugh at the sign and toss him change. I work across state street from him and I've never seen a panhandler get more change than he does.

McCormick & Schmick's over the Union Oyster House...Mc&S is closer to Faneuil Hall

So the guy wants a Filet-O'-Fish from Mickey D's and some 4 Roses. I admire his forthrightness. I would be inclined to aid him in his request.

is when he sits there with just a blank sign. At least he's entertaining!
