Friday Question of the Day – Does Street Soliciting Bother You?

walnut-creek-soliciting

A few weeks ago at this downtown corner in Walnut Creek I was waiting for the light to turn green with some other people including an older, well-dressed couple in their 60s. While waiting a street solicitor repeatedly asked the older man for a donation, referring to the color of his shirt to single him out. As I observed this the man mentioned to his wife how uncomfortable he felt.

So for the Friday question of the day, does street soliciting bother you? Are these legitimate charities?
