The women with the kids trailing behind are the worst.
Usually in a Walmart parking lot.
Oh, the tales of woe and horror.
Usually need cash for gas because have to get... kids to school, to new job just started, to visit sick/dying relative...

Could have told him you are also scheduled for the same surgery on the same day, maybe we could talk about it more in recovery 
When I was still driving the roads I’d stop in Wildwood, Fl. At the T/A truck stop. While I was walking in once a woman stopped me and started crying about having no money, no gas, no home. I told her I wasn’t going to give her any cash, but if she’d pull over to a pump, I’d throw in $25 of gas to get her down the road. She came around the front pumps with this old beat up Caddy coupe Deville, and I pumped in exactly $1.34 before the pump shut off automatically because the tank was already full. I told her you got to be shi**ng me and told her to take a hike. When I came back out, there she was again, trying to con another trucker. I walked into the conversation and told the guy he was getting conned, and she walked away. I went back inside and told the Manager she was out there and what had happened, and wondered about the no solicitation policy at the T/A. He actually called the cops, and they escorted her off the property. 2 weeks later, and there she was again, and again I told the manager, and again she got thrown out. That was the last time I ever gave anyone a nickel of my hard earned money, and to this day if anyone asks for a handout, I stop them the second they start with the hard luck story and tell them to f**k off.
That didn’t happen to be at Lowes in Cumming was it???
Same situation with me. Told her to pull in to the Race Track station right next to Lowe’s and I bought her fuel and drinks also for the kids. I guess I’m a softee when I see kids involved
I was coming home from the bass pro one morning, I believe it was last year, it was very cold. This older black man came up to me as I got gas asking for money so he could get something warm to drink, it was at the race trac off 316 and 20, I told him to go over to the Hardee's and ill be there in a minute, I told him to order whatever he wanted, he was very polite and asked if he could have 2 sausage biscuits, I told him to get whatever he wanted, once he got done ordering I went ahead and paid for 3 extra coffees for him. He told me he got out of jail and had nothing, no family and barely any clothes on. He didn't walk away when I said no to giving him money but would buy him food, so after I paid for his meal I gave him the rest of the $20 and told him to stay warm. And I left. Some really do need the help and some are just to get things for free.
I especially hate when they come up to me with my kids in the car, they usually see something laying in the open that makes them turn away before giving me a sob story.

Has worked well for me
Had a meth head looking guy pull up at gas pump beside me at Pilot off I-75 in Warners Robins last weekend. I had just finished getting gas when they pulled up, woman driving, guy gets out approaches my truck, I had already gotten back in and cranked it up. I have no idea what he was asking for other I assumed it was money. He tried to talk to me despite the fact that my window was up and my truck was running. I put my pistol in my lap, but since he wasnt in the way, I just put the truck in gear and drove away.

I was still in college a hundred years ago with some friends in the French Quarter and a rough looking dude asked me and my friends for money. I wasn't going to give him anything but asked him "What are you going to do with it?" He looked at me for a second and said "I'm not going to lie, I'm going to buy a drink." I said "Thanks for being honest, it's on me." We had a drink together and a chat. Different times.
