    I've often wondered what I would do if I needed some cash and didn't have a way to get it without asking a stranger.

offer an item of clothing, hopefully something like a watch that has some amount of value, but if not, go all in and try the shirt or shoes. no one is going to be comfortable accepting, but it'll go a long way toward founding your story in reality.

There's the risk that someone will be comfortable giving you $50 for your Piaget Polo, but we are talking about desperate measures.
