Free Money

I am planning on going to the new CVS on 13th St. because there will be a lot of people going to the grand opening or walking home. I am going to choose the people I give the dollar to based on qualities I like in their appearance, whether it is something they are wearing, their hair or even their bike. This will make starting the conservation easy as I could just compliment them on that and ask wear they got it from. I think I'll give away 3 of the dollars because I think a couple people won't want to take it without a legitimate reason.

*For the second video, after I said the reason why I wanted to give her the dollar and she denied, she almost looked scared so to ease the tension my girlfriend brought up that it was for a project. I didn't see this as a problem because she had already said no and was on her way.


This was one of the more awkward exercises we've had to do. Most of the people I went up to seemed really uncomfortable when I brought up giving them a dollar. I thought it would have been easier to give the dollar away but most people denied it. After some persistence, only 2 people accepted the money so my prediction was wrong. I think I underestimated how strange it would seem giving someone a dollar for essentially no reason. The people that said no probably thought there was some ulterior motive. For the most part my expectations were met; the people that looked shy, got uncomfortable and denied the money and the people that seemed relaxed were more open, usually accepting the money.
