Free Money

For this assignment, I decided to just wander about and try to target people who seemed to be distracted by something, either a cell phone, a laptop, or a TV.  To get the conversation going, I would just approach people and tell them that today was  "Act of Random Kindness Day" and then I would give them the dollar. After getting their response, I would tell them to have a nice day and be on my way. Using this strategy and acting like I was performing a random act of random kindness, I was able to give away every dollar. Here is what I got:

Overall, my experience was pretty easy. I feel when I approached people on the phone, who seemed busy, ended up more likely to take the dollar quickly because they wanted to get on with that they were doing. I feel if I tried a different reason, such as just receiving my paycheck and having a few extra dollars, might have caused people to be less hesitant to take the dollar. Because of this, I thought giving away the dollar was pretty easy. I assumed that people would be a little annoyed to after approaching them while they were busy; however, once they found out money was on the line they were quick to be more engaged. If i learned anything, It is that people love money, especially if its free.
