[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 1857304, member: 10619"] I've mentioned this before, but a few years ago a local news station did a story about panhandlers in Oklahoma. There was a book of coupons created that contained vouchers for free meals, free toiletries, free socks, and free rides. The company that put these together wanted to do a test run with these booklets, so a local news station took some (I think something like 100) and handed them out. I can't remember the exact percentages, but I'm going to get close enough to make the point, as the numbers surprised me. They found that only about 15% of "homeless" individuals accepted these coupon books. Of those coupon books handed out, only about 10% of the coupons were redeemed. [/QUOTE]
