Good for you. However if every time I was asked for change I gave 50¢, I would give out $2-3 per day, so $40-60 per month. I'm sorry but I don't have that kind of extra money to just throw away. That much money buys a season ticket for the Flames in the Black section.
It's good for you to be so noble; however most of us have seen reasons to be so jaded. Once in a pizza shop on 7th ave and 9th street a guy bummed $2 off my buddy "to buy a slice of pizza because I haven't eaten in X days." My buddy gave him the toonie; and the guy left the store and walked into the liquor store next door.
As for talking to them; I'm sorry but I have nothing to say to them.
