Got this as change

I have a friend who used to tip wait staff with $2 bills. The most amusing thing to me was watching them take the bills right to the cashier to get them exchanged for normal money. When I asked my friend why he tipped with these bills, he said that they would remember him the next time he came in for dinner. I thought to myself as he was telling the story that when the wait staff saw him coming, they were arguing among themselves who would have to wait on this turkey.

For a while I thought about using Presidential Dollar coins to tip those who gave me sub-standard service.

My info is as good as 2015, by latest figures.

 

Yes, they're worth more than face value.

 

A woman was panhandling in a store I was in and asked for a dollar to buy a soda. I gave her two 50 cent pieces. She thanked me and walked away but turned around and asked me if I had given her two dollar coins...

 

If you give them one, but they think it's 2, which do you write off?

 

The problem I have with pan handlers (and I am not insensitive to their plight)
I will often see them smoking cigarettes. Which cost $10 a pack, so I am supporting that habit which I am staunchly opposed, and then, I will end up having to pay for their healthcare COPD or whatever with my taxes since they are not paying for it.
It doesn't address the problem, or offer a solution. I just don't want to give money to people who are spending it on cigarettes and booze.

 

Don't go to Las Vegas then. Panhandlers there ask for money for a beer!

 

...And marijuana in a growing number of states that have legalized the weed, or soon will. No offense to pot smokers here who can afford to buy it, but this will probably end up being another burden on the taxpayer.

 

I have a friend who owns a business and he hands out business cards to pan handlers and offers them a job. Out of eight people in one year he had only one show up for a job and said the man was a hard worker.

 

I would keep all

 

At 10 bucks apiece a fella could use a little subsidizing. A $200 show ticket didn't hurt near as bad as the price of a couple of beers.

 

Nah, just go into one of the casinos and play the penny slots and wait for the lady to bring you a beer either that or panhandle a few more people.
