What if it was a small stack of 20s? 100s? What if it meant the difference between paying rent or not?
If it were 20s or 100s it would be more insulting, you understand this, no?
If it's the difference between paying rent or not then it's a huge problem that the behaviour exists to enable that situation. If it weren't a cultural behaviour it would be called panhandling.
I do not understand this. If anyone ever gives you a stack like that, feel free to 'insult' me by directing it my way.
