We used to travel alot in my working years driving my personal truck across the bottom part of the US etc... For a couple of years everytime we pulled into Wichita Falls and always stayed at the same Hotel near Sheppard AFB this dude would walk up to us and give us this I'm broke down story and trying to get enough money to go to Lubbock TX a hundred or so miles away. So I give him $20...
Next trip in a couple of months same thing so I told him off pretty good... The guy riding with me was really surprised when I got all over this dude haha... He left on foot and I got in my truck and followed him. He lived several blocks away in real nice looking home with a couple of cars and a truck outside etc... No way was he down on his luck haha...
I reported him to Law enforcement and the Hotel folks said he has been doing this for years... I guess Pan Handling is not on the high priority of Law Enforcement in Wichita Falls... Makes for a great side job I guess to get himself some drinking money for the Wichita saloons... This towns other name is Whiskey Tall Falls hehe...
A few months later we saw him doing the same thing haha...
Just got to be aware of your surroundings... Has nothing to do with the Walmart Store...
