It comes across as me having your number, I understand subterfuge when I see it, and that's exactly what you did with your little picture.

Your heartlessness knows no bounds, you would post a picture of those less fortunate right after 70 thousand American just lost their jobs in the last 2 weeks.

The cost of Insulin, epi pens, heart medication, lung medication just doubled.

The southern border has been opened to all ,and people who have not been tested for Covid are being released into the general public, we are in a pandemic!

The cost of Gasoline, heating oil, propane and electricity are to explode.

The fed printing m... [ More ]

You are forgetting one crucial point. It never said any where in the story that the man was homeless.

The 3rd and 4th paragraphs:

Spare Change stopped at the 7-Eleven convenience store on Coastal Highway in Ocean City to buy his usual rounds of tickets on his way to work, where he ensures that the amusement machines are up and running for visitors to enjoy.

Almost every hotel has a game room, and there's bars, restaurants and boardwalk too, he explained in a news release. If there's a... [ More ]

First off: You mentioned you automatically assumed he was a homeless person. Why is that? Cause out in this neck of the woods- no one l know asks for spare change unless they are a beggar or panhandler. Second, my thinking was corrected by Indian, and l made an acknowledgment of that. Why is that the first thing you thought of? asked answered.

That says more about you than anything else.- don't judge a book by its cover. Really?

See these two panhandlers? What would be the first thing th... [ More ]

You read the headline and because it said the guy had a nickname of Spare Change, you automatically assumed he was a homeless person. Why is that? Why is that the first thing you thought of? That says more about you than anything else.

If you want to get literary, don't judge a book by it's cover.

Good move taking the annuity. Keep working and 20 years (or less) from now, he'll be set for life.

Just below the headline and above the article it says:

Vending machine attendant gets more than a little spare change

By Kate Northrop

He has a full time job so he's not a homeless panhandler. If you get it right, we won't have to tell you when you are wrong. Sometimes you need to read more than just the headline. Don't take it personally.

Have a nice day

Bane was wearing a mask and words get slurred. It's subject to interpretation.

The correct line of dialog from Bane is, Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

That's what I am talking about. As Bane in The Dark knight Rises said - : Speak of the Devil, and she will appear!

I love you too Sully.

Point taken. I should have used the would was instead of is, but l digress. Now if only l could find a way to stop trollers constantly following my every post criticizing it, life would be so much easier. Purge me from your brain, it's easy- just look the other way, because walking around with a constant hard** for me is non productive.

He was at work or on his way when he Bought the winning ticket before returning the Money to the Woman who had left money in the machine before him Then he returned her Money to Her!!!

They call him Spare Change because of his JOB...

In the late 80's some of them would ask for folding money

People who asked for spare change now come up to you and ask can you spare a dollar?

Most of them used to use the spare change to buy food, but now I have noticed some use it to buy scratch off tickets.

One woman that hangs outside the store I buy my lottery tickets at won $2,700 on a scratcher. I don't know what she did with the money, but she's out there all the time with her hand out asking everyone for money.

Wouldn't it be something if Spare Change is a homeless person, a panhandler who constantly asks got any spare change? Finally SC can quit asking altogether. His ship finally came in.

Celebrate..

Funny, I've been to that 7-Eleven a few times when vacationing in Ocean City. Great win

So 'Spare Change' lives in anonymous state and after good Karma with returning money in the lotto machine left my another customer. Then buys a winning ticket in another anonymous state! Good things happen to good people.
