Panhandlers

What's the law? Are they allowed to solicit on the train?

There is one guy in his early twenties that will get on an try to sell candy. He makes his way through the car asking for any amount of cash for candy in trade. I did see a lady dig in her purse one day to find a quarter...she got a box of orange Tic-Tacs on that trade. Nice deal, but where did those Tic-Tacs come from?? Did he get them new or were they just a homemade refill? No one knows and no one seems to have the balls to ask him.

Did he make a large Costco purchase and now he is just raking in some mad loot? I doubt it. But I'm sure that 25cents is still helping him show a positive ROI.
