Fabulously Out There explains why neither she nor her two friends gave money to the panhandler outside Aquitane on Tremont Street the other day. Has to do mainly with the way he yelled:

Give me money, fat girls!

I had the same type of problem in Cambridge once. When someone is yelling insults at you, you tend not to give them money...

Well

Unless it's the T that's doing the insulting.

Man...

So, on her way to an expensive (both in price and calories) South End brunch, our author couldn't deign to throw a beggar some change because he had not bestowed upon her the proper respect, and worse, insulted her waistline?

Oh. Okay, then.

You serious? Doesnt matter

You serious? Doesnt matter where she was going, she had the cash and he wanted it. Having worked in sales I can tell you the best way to get cash from someone is being nice. You know like those homeless guys who hold the door open at stores, annoying as hell but I see people give them money all the time. I refuse to and they still tell me to have a great day and smile, at which point the little punk behind me gives me the evil eye and gives the homeless guy a dollar. So I become the bad guy! Homeless door holding guy has a good racket going, and is smart about it. I think thats all she was saying...
