Panhanddlers at Fairfax Towne Center / Safeway

Has anyone else been experiencing panhandlers and begging near 12200 West Ox Road Safeway? In the past few months I've had people ask me for money in the parking lot -- they come right up to my car door -- too close for comfort. I've also had one man come up to me while inside Safeway near the seafood department in the back of the store asking for money.

DCMA? Tell him you will make a donation, but he will need to pass a CPSR first. By the time you are done explaining to him what you motherfuckers require, he will have killed himself. Problem solved.

Just have a can of lysol and a lighter handy, if they beg for $ just light their face on fire...a quick burst should be sufficient.

The smart ones will go into the store and confront you directly, had a guy try this on me at giant a month ago.

They know that by now, most people see homeless outside begging and walk the other direction. By coming up to you directly though, they have you already at a disadvantage. You're distracted trying to buy chips or steaks or whatever the fuck you need for your family, you're shopping in the store so they can safely assume you have cash or at the very least a debit card or something, and they get within a foot from you and ask for money for the bus or some other bullshit.

They will sell it like an emergency which I'd wager old people fall for on a regular basis too. I'm not a dick so I wouldn't personally do this but alert a manager they will have the guy kicked out in a minute flat, a large store like that has some sort of security

I always keep some sort of Jehovah Witness literature like the Watchtower or Awake on hand to counter their request for my "Extra Spare Change".

I am not a JW, but there is a neighbor in my neighborhood that passes out that stuff every once in a while. I take it not wanting to be rude to her.

I must admit it is fucking hilarious to see the reaction of the obnoxious panhandler when I give them the JW propaganda.

Dudes and Dudettes, don't become a part of the problem. Let me give you a little advice: Don't feed or give money to the beggars.

It's that simple. If you want to improve the life of that beggar, and get that beggar off the street, then don't give him or her anything. If you do, you are becoming a part of the problem yourself.

If the beggar has a baby, then call the cops if you think that the baby is in Need of Services.

E.g., If a woman says her baby is hungry, then report her to the police, because that Child is is Need of Services. Of course we all know that that child is another Gypsy, whose parents learned to beg and steal since they were babies.

Bottom Line: Don't give to beggars. If you do, then you are now the Problem.

Democrats always buy this shit and give to the gypsies.

To the poster above, WTF is "Need of Services". You capitalized it twice and the context would imply there is a county office called "Need of Services". Is this the case or do you just "Need Some English Skills"?

It would be much better if Democrats gave their money to televangelists like good Republicans.

I have seen the same Filipina lady around Annandale asking for money like 5 times. I just pretend she doesn't exist.

I had a guy come up to me in the Target parking structure.

I told him I'd give him some money, but he had to be careful. He asked be careful of what. I told him I was cursed, that the last several people I'd given money to turned up dead.

You never saw anyone move so fast…in the opposite direction…

Don't give them money.

Republicans love to give them money because of the extreme guilt they feel over their beliefs.

That's how Republicans got rich, by giving democrat beggars money in a parking lot. They already get a monthly benefit check of our money we paid in taxes, so yeah, sure...we'll just keep giving.

Thanks about that for a second...or as long as it takes you.

The above posts reveal a severe lack of rationality.

Anyway, whether you are Democrat or Republican, if you want a nice, clean, crime-free County for you and your family to live in, then:

D O N ' T F E E D T H E B E G G A R S!

Half the time, the beggars waltz over to an expensive car, to drive to their expensive house. In other words, you are a sucker, helping to pay a rich man's mortgage.

The Other half of the time, the beggars take your coins and buy alcohol or crystal meth, and then poison themself. So, you are guilty for purchasing the poison.

Make it simple. Don't give to beggars, ever!

And, if you see a woman with a baby, tell her you are calling Child Protective Services.

they are being instructed by communists to "dumb down the public" to think they could survive on change

in obama inflation a wheel barrow of change would not pay their "bills"

they are at Fairfax County Government Center all day in line for: food stamps, free medical, rent aid, even fuel aid

they are at Social Security all day in line for Social Security (you'd think that'd be impossible: but democrats are paying them to vote democrat - probably to avoid jailtime if/when a republican gets elected and begins investigations upon where ALL THE MONEY WENT AND ALL THE BORROWINGS)


(and from who, you know it's no coincidence that some influencial people newly in Fairfax helping fairfax blow money ARE AFFILIATED with the loan houses gaining "leverage" from loaning the money). and there are certain families in fairfax who will take that dive time and time again and laugh about it.

I detest these beggars.

I've had it happen most recently at the Oakton Giant where a woman plodded up to me as I was loading groceries in the car. I saw her coming and put my hand up and said," Nope. Don't ask me. Move along." I marched right back into the store and alerted a manager. He immediately came out to the lot to look for her and she was gone.

Keep reporting this to management. Tell them if they continue to allow this, you are not shopping there again.

i was also approached at the same Giant, IN STORE. This time it was a supposed veteran who was begging for a a Giant gift card. With great sincerity and patience, I happened to have a VA brochure with me (my dads a vet) and gave it to him with a smile. Told him to call the number listed. Then I also complained to the manager and this time, I think he was apprehend by in store security.
