As I made my way to the ATM, kvetching all the way about the need for cash since not everyone takes cards, I wondered what panhandlers will do when we become a cashless society? This will depend on how we end up carrying our money. Will we give them our (untraceable cash) cards with spare change on them? On a related note, someone did market research on panhandlers (found via Feed). There’s a survey where you can select how much money you’d give in response to different panhandling techniques.
