But there's always a catch - expect to be hit hard with the bambi eyes and "would you like to donate anything to the children's charity" routine...yeah good cause and all, but I just want a big pile of free pancakes without the guilt trip, ok? Plus if you drop anything less than five bucks, then you look cheap, when a stack of pancakes goes for $4.35.
It's a sham, fellas. I'm calling it. They're trying to trick you to help out the children. sneaky bastards.
At least you get food when you donate. It's better than giving $1.XX in change to a bum and getting that "you cheap fuc&" look from him soon after. "Do you have anything more than that?" Jeezus. I won't make that mistake again. Bums: Get a job, like I did!

I actually had a beggar want me to pay him to give me guitar lessons while trying to pry my guitar from my hands to show me how to play "Bullet With Butterfly Wings." This happens to be about the third song I ever learned when I was 16.
Mind you, he did this after I had just played a show...
with my band. You know, the kind of show you play when you are a fairly competent musician, the kind of band he was obviously not in. Anyway...

Free pancakes! I'm hitting that up, scam or no.
