Depends actually. Sometimes i see the same guy who always makes a smiley face out of pennies he gathers. He always gets my change. If they invade my personal space bubble, they do not get my change, and have me saying "im sorry but i dont have any." Do not invade my personal space bubble, otherwise you get no change.

If i have no change, im honest and say i dont have change.

Don't give him/her money, I don't want them to use it for drugs/alcohol...

Maybe give them some food and/or clothes. (Canned food if there is a shop close)

Many beggars are there because they've health issues/addiction problems, so giving them money directly won't help them at all.

Depends, honestly. I'm likely to give money to buskers, usually give money to passive people with signs (and dogs), but if I get approached it's usually the "ahh sorry mate I've not got any change on me" sympathetic brushoff. Mostly because if you get a sob story they usually, sad to say, are a load of bullshit. I had one guy approach me twice in the space of two hours in different locations offering different accounts of why he needed money!

I usually say no, I don't have any change.

The money I do have is for my alcohol, not theirs.

I usually ask them if they need me to buy anything for them or their family. From there I would buy them a meal or stuff they might need for their children like diapers, formula etc etc
