No, I never give money to beggars.

However, as I have grown older, I have turned into a fairly generous (by my standards) tipper - usually 30% for meals, and often $5 or so for a worker who is cleaning up at a place of work.

I respect people who work and take their job seriously. Since we always pay cash for our meals, I like to hand the money directly to the worker and thank them for the good service.
