I mean, good on you and the person you’re replying to for having empathy. But it’s likely they get ignored 199 times out of 200, which means they’re probably desensitized to asking.
Obviously not all people who beg are like that, but in New York I recognized people who begged every day and clearly DGAF whether the person said no or yes. The first or second time it happened I gave the person a granola bar and they said thanks in the most perfunctory way, and then immediately moved on to asking others.
Maybe they were saving it for a kid or something. Or maybe it was just their version of a “job.”
Absolutely, imagine how badly you need something to ask a stranger to give you something.
