Better Security

I am getting ready to leave to take care of some errands. This guy who came up to me alone begging is still here and will be here till closing time tonight because the security guard IS NOT DOING HIS JOB! Any other security guard would have told this beggar to leave! The weather is quite nice. He has no business sitting in here when he is only doing one thing! If that were me, I would have been told to leave a while ago! This guy is so appalling lying when I told my friend what he did begging from me because I have my laptop out working! I wish the new owner of this building were here! He would be told to leave and NEVER COME BACK because of his aggressive behavior and attitude! This security guard needs to do a much better job kicking beggars like this guy OUT!

I would have bought that guy food if I we're in your place. IF I have the extra money. Maybe he was so aggressive because he is so hungry. :(

People gave him money and bought him food! He did not beg from anyone else! He came up to me alone just because I had my laptop out! If you were the only that was approached because of what you own and saw him not ask anyone else where you were when he was on his feet, would you still?

Maybe you we're just too suspicious about him. Obviously, he came to you because you had your laptop out. He might have high hopes of you giving him food because you own an expensive thing. I can't blame you though as there are so many bad guys out there nowadays. If you gave him money or food, maybe he'll just walk away happy.

I wonder sometimes how some people would feel if they were in that beggars place. When I worked security and there was someone like that in the area we (me and the other officers) would give him something to eat and there was a couple of times in the winter that money was taken up for him a room in a motel near by. There was one guy that hang around the area where we worked (a theme park on the beach) and he slept in one of the lifeguard storage areas. The guy was homeless, he had moved to SC from somewhere up north. He worked every day, but was unable to afford a place to stay so he slept in the lifeguard storage area. We would give him food and even supplied him with blankets for the winter. When he came in at night one of us would go out and push a block against the outside of the door so the police wouldn't know anyone was there.The storage area was just a little wooden box about 5ft x 5ft x 4ft, it was very small and the boy slept on the ground because it had no floor. He would bathe in the shower rooms at the park. The boy finally got his stuff together and managed to get him a place to stay. The Bible tells us that we entertain angels unaware and when you turn someone away, you don't know what it ain't Jesus or an angel. I think God sends these beggars to us to see how e treat them, I try to help if I can, you never know when the tide may turn. A man walked up to me one day when I was at the local grocery store and he asked me if he could have five dollars to get something to eat. I told him no but if he'd go inside with me I'd buy him something to eat. We went in the store and I told him to get him a few things he wanted. He went to the meat aisle and got a pack of baloney, then he got a loaf of bread and a pack of cheese and asked him if he wanted something to drink and he said no. I bought him the bread, baloney and cheese and asked if he wanted anything else and he said no. I don't know who the old man was and have never seen him again. You never know.

its certain that the security guard your talking about is far from being the Barney Fife of security guards.

Can you give him one kick? It mean you are working on that building or you just only a client or customer? Why the security cannot throw that guy away? Here that kind of beggar cannot enter to any establishment to disturbed people. They are only walking on the streets. Fastfood chain strictly instructed all their securities to throw beggars away from their doors and also to the establishment. If the guy still their and you finish your work better to leave but if you are working that establishment, you don't have any choice. Wait until your work finish

I wonder why does the security people are doing- why they allow beggars to stay inside the premises. Well, unless the beggar doesn't look like a beggar.
