Street artist

I' ve seen her many times. She stands at the corner of the street, asking people for money. This time I am in my car as I see her standing at the entrance of the liquor store. The young guy who comes out with the beer for the party he is heading to, does not have a chance. I can't hear what she says but he stops and hands her some cash immediately. She pretends to walk away, he goes. She is back to the corner in no time. She has her technics down to an art form.
