Panhandled in Portland

I didn’t spend much time in Portland with Amy Dearest and Okie Doke. Generally, we hung out at their home, either preparing for the trip or relaxing after the trip. But we did venture out twice on errands, once to a grocery store and the second time to a bike shop. Each time I was approached by a panhandler. I gave a small amount of money to each. But the interaction surprised me. I can’t remember the last time I was panhandled in Coeur d’Alene. How about you?

Question: When were you last panhandled? And how did you respond?
