That rools how you give to the lonely security guy who I'd say is probably very grateful.
I give folks at toll booths a $5 bill and tell to keep the change or pay for whatever the stranger behind me purchasing at the coffee shop in the morning. Once while in Greensboro NC, while filling my gas tank, a homeless guy told me stories of his younger years of driving bulldozers etc but that liquor had killed his liver and taken his family. The guy never asked for a dime. One day upon returning from shopping in a well off town I saw the guy with on a corner with one of those signs that make most folks say "get a job ya bum". I gave him 100 bux on the spot. The following week he was driving a concrete truck on the project I was working at. Evidently he'd bought some boots and gloves with it and was confident enough to actually pass a job interview. I was stoked to see the guy driving this giant truck that would scare the piss out of most people.
There was a story in the local paper of a guy who collects change all year and turns it into paper and places the cash in a wallet which he tosses off some bridge onto a street below with a note inside telling the lucky finder it's not lost and that hopefully that person can have a Merry Christmas.
