How to shut up a beggar...

This happened yesterday at a convenience store in Richmond.

Beggar: Hey, can you give me a couple of bucks? I'm out of gas and I'm trying to get back home to Pasadena with my wife and kid.
Me: Here's two bucks. That's all I can spare.
Beggar: Come on. Can't you do better than that ?
Me: I can take those two bucks away from you if you don't need 'em.

Don't think he'll make it to Pasadena on two bucks worth of gas - come to think of it, I doubt if he will make it out of Richmond.
