You can also usually tell who actually is looking for some specific help by calling out whatever their story is.
I've bought food for someone outside a subway who was actually asking for food and not money.
Twice now though I've encountered someone outside the Train/Bus station who had a sob story about needing to get a ticket home to some place and when I actually offered to buy them a ticket their mood changed real quick.
