So what do you propose? Just allow him to continue to scam people, ruining the name of a charity that tries to HELP homeless people, as well as lowering the expectations of the general public regarding the homeless population? Because that seems like a great way for Spare Change to make money to actually help homeless people.
I buy Spare Change, when I have the, (ironically), spare change to do so. I know that it's going to a good cause. However, all these people who get scammed by our leather-beret wearing friend will look at all the authorized sellers with suspicion.
As for the legitimate Spare Change vendor in Davis, (you all know who I'm talking about, "Spaaaaare Chaaaange Newspaper!"), I've been buying from him since highschool.
I call troll on this post, but I needed to vent a wee bit.
