I understand Breeze only communicates via text or email. WTF happens when you absolutely need to speak with a live person? Go to their counter at the airport??

Call me old fashioned, a stick in the mud, or what have you, but I don't like not being able to speak to someone if I need to. For that reason alone I may not fly Breeze all the time. I flew this time because I got the dates I wanted and Nicest for round trip at a very reasonable cost.

A lady who stated she had 7 kids, no phone and no transportation, and no food asked for help in getting food, a phone, and diapers on another platform.

I decided to help. I messaged her (to her nonexistent phone 🚩) and offered to take her to the grocery store for essentials only. In messages back and forth I was told she was too busy to meet at the store, couldn't find a babysitter, was in the process of moving, and finally we set a date and time. When the day arrived I showed up on time and she was not at home.

I found out she was wanting cash only but did not outright ask for it (rules prohibit begging for money). But by making her situation dire with all kinds of excuses for not meeting at the grocery store made me see the "shrouded begging".

This is not my first time trying to help without giving cash. I've been cursed out, called cruel, etc. I had their solution, but no cash.

I'm done. With this last attempt I am sitting out permanently trying to help strangers. It's much worse now with the economy, and frankly, I am disabled now, I'm on the fixed income and qualified for SNAP.

This is an angry vent but also asking if anyone else has encountered shrouded begging? I'm in Nevada.

Thanks for reading.
