In the Davis Square T station, I often see people, presumably homeless, selling Spare Change News. Sometimes I buy it.

Today, one of them came around to me while I was sitting on a bench, waiting for an inbound train. I gave him $1 -- but then he wouldn't give me the paper. He said it was his last one. I found this annoying, especially since I actually wanted to read two of the articles that I saw on the front page.

Now this guy's got enough trouble in his life, so I don't want to make more by complaining to Spare Change News ... but this just isn't the way to do things.

I don't think they make them pay upfront for the papers, right? It seems like most wouldn't have the money to do that.
