I went to the city (San Francisco) last night to have dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. On my way to the restaurant which was located on the top floor of Macys in Union Square, I was greeted by a man at the door who nice enough to hold the door open for me and my friends. Of course, I knew he wanted some spare change. I ignored him and kept walking. Don’t get me wrong. I believe in giving to the poor, but I just don’t like giving to those who peddle a service such as holding the door, cleaning your windshield, or offering a towel in a bathroom. The last one is a pet peeve of mine.
