The move to the cashless society means it's a harder life for panhandlers, according to a Post article.
Unfortunately, the people earliest to adopt new tech and move to cashless apps are the people who were most likely in the past to give to panhandlers. (That's me, not the Post, but it's true, at least in the sense that panhandlers are most likely in urban office areas, reflecting the density of traffic not necessarily the generosity of the individuals.)
An interesting note--sometimes giver and panhandler form social bonds, that's the Post.
