was discussing this the other day with a person asking for help; I don't know they were homeless but assume the situation and their state I'd highly doubt they had anything. The problem is that I get paid electronically and pay for damn near everything electronically and only touch cash every other month if that, and usually have to pay a fee to get cash.
I'd buy them a meal, hell, I'll even buy a beer for some of the people I see frequently going in to the quicky mart, but I don't cash. I also try to do my puny 'philanthropy' via community service and direct donations to planned parenthood (they will always get whatever rare few bucks I can spare).
a cashless economy is putting an even larger hit on these folk I imagine.
