Bold 6am Request
This morning, while waiting for the elevator to get to my office, I was approached by a man asking if I had any spare change. Honestly, if I had any, I would have given it to him, but since I take the bus, I generally do not carry any cash on me. I mentioned this to him.
He asked if I had a credit card.
I responded that his request was rediculous, but bold. I was simply have no intentions of turning my credit card over to this man. I mean, I don't even give my credit card to friends and family, let alone someone who is asking for spare change in an office tower at 6:00 in the morning. He approached another guy at the elevator bank who immediately called for the security guard.
I don't know if he was escorted out, or if he managed to get any spare change, but I am certain that he did not leave with any "spare" credit cards. Wow... maybe this guy needs to apply for a job as a telemarketer.
