I'm curious to know if any other forumites have noticed the change in the price point approach of panhandlers. I remember when it was "can you spare some change?," then it became "can you spare a buck?," in the past few months, and again today, it was "can you spare five dollars?". Today, after giving a dollar, I received a dogmatic air of disapproval and not so much as a perfunctory thank you. Going forward my response is going to be "sorry, I can't afford you."
