That "Spare Change" guy.....

[dylanesque29.livejournal.com]

......has been in rare form recently. Not the one who asks "Pardon me sir, can you spare any change?" in a weird monotone, but the one who "sells" the Spare Change newsletter. I saw him suckering a few college-age looking girls the Saturday before last. By the time I got down to the platform, they were angrily chatting with each other, one of them with a fresh Boston Now! in her hand. This morning, he was doing his usual rounds, with a lit cigarette. Classy. I think it sucks that this guy does his thing, ripping people off every day, and that he hasn't been banned from the Davis Square Red Line, or any of the others.

There's a legit Spare Change vendor who also works in the T-stop (usually outside of the fare gates, though), and in Porter Square as well. The "Spaaaare Change newspaper, onllly a dolllar" guy. Not him.
