Cuba Mall beggars

[Paul in NZ]

I'm not exactly known for being a heartless prick but bloody hell… Enough is enough already.

There was a beggar or a group of them at every ATM up Cuba Mall.. It’s quite annoying – not really intimidating except for the group of fat fucks by the Starmart on the corner of Ghuznee st. There’s like 6 of the fuckers there today..

Cuba Mall has always attracted its fair share of interesting street life. Part of the attraction I guess but it’s getting bloody ridiculous..
I know this is mostly a mental health issue but its getting bloody ridiculous… The bastards are usually smoking and deliberately targeting the area around the ATM. It in no way makes me feel like giving them anything…

Traditionally congregations outside the beehive get very little notice.... Remember the bikeoi?

Willis Street is also pretty bad, especially outside the New World Metro.

So the rest of the world has been dealing with this for a looong time. Shame it's finally catching up here.
Had a dude in Serbia saying he was short money of a bus ticket to get home for Christmas so I took him to the counter to buy him the ticket and he got all antsy and fucked off. They're Orthodox so I had a hunch Good way to sort out the cons from the needs if you're happy to help where you can sometimes. Same with buying food or paying a bill for people instead of giving them change.

We already have some, but expect to see more and more quite forceful people 'collecting for charity' on the street as well.

Unless it's kwashiorkori, which is pretty unlikely here, and just the stomach.

Wasn't there an article not long ago in the media about fake Buddhist monks and nuns (the terminology used in the article) "collecting" to raise funds to "restore their temple back home"?

My stock answer to them all is sorry, me and cash are not friends.
