I agree, the "I ran out of gas" is the most popular one Ive heard.
Ive never had anyone come up to me at a regular gas station when I was in my car, just the truck stops.
Do you get Nickel and Dimed?

I normally offer five for then to do my windows but I've only ever had a couple do it.
If I know I have a couple extra shower credits I will offer that as well.
But I never just give away cash. -

I was at the TA in Florida on i75, exit 329 one night and a guy walked up to me. Told me his whole life story, rambled on and on for about 15 minutes. It was entertainment so i didn't mind.
After all that he asked me for $5 so he could go get some beer. So i helped the guy out.

lol.. We went to a concert @ the House of Blues in Cleveland one time, and if you have ever been, you know when there is a concert or event in Cleveland, the homeless are everywhere.. Well, one of them came up to me and said, "What would you do for a homeless alchoholic?"..
I just laughed and said, "Not a #### thing".. -

I locate the truckstop manager, point out the individual, and explain that I won't be spending $750 for fuel, or anything else there ever again should the panhandler try to get money from me the next time I stop. I run dedicated and see the same panhandlers at the same TS's a lot. (Well, used to).
Glimmer Thanks this.
