I've been working in Myrtle Beach off and on for the past 7 months.
All summer long there was a girl who would drive around each night asking for "gas money" (she was just after enough to get drinks at the bars).
She asked a guy I know for 10 bucks, and he said "sure for a kiss" and he gave her a 5 when she did. She wanted more, and he told her she had to do more than just a kiss for the rest. She got angry and drove off. She did it non stop for remainder of her vacation down there (any time we saw her we told the people around the street about her little scam).
Another time a guy came up and gave a guy I was with down there a 20-25 minute spiel about divorcing, moving there, no job, etc. etc... the guy ended up giving him 20 bucks (He just wanted the guy to shut the hell up and knew it was a scam).
Amazing how many beggars are around in big cities... I live in a small town, and hate the big city... not really used to all these beggars (but I don't fall for the idiotic stories).
