Susie's question of the day actually sparked this question. It reminded me of how frustrated I became with the kids last year. I felt they were very rude... most of them showed up not wearing a costume and very few thanked us for the candy.
I understand that not all kids are able to afford a costume... but I remember a girl from last year stopped by. She was probably 14 or 15ish and she and her friends were riding around with a guy in a car. She stopped and got out, not wearing a costume, and held her purse out for me to put candy in. I had to grit my teeth to keep from saying anything.
Do you pretty much have to suck it up and give these unthankful kids candy even if they don't deserve it, or has anyone ever just plain refused to give it out to one of these kids?
