Monday night we were in the city (Chicago), and on our way into the restaurant, I passed a man in a wheelchair shaking a plastic cup of coins. He was also talking on a cell phone, and as I went by him, I heard him say, "Not now, man, I'm at my job."
I have no way of knowing what personal, societal, and economic forces brought him to that place. But is it judgmental for me to wish we lived in a world where that kind of diligence could be funneled into something more productive?

At his 'job'...On a cell phone...There is irony everywhere, isn't there?
That he is panhandling and can afford a cell phone sez something.
Hard not to be judgmental with a situation like that.
Please for humanity's sake please do it once

I don't think that's judgmental at all. At his job, huh? I'm sure I would have wanted to call him out on that, which wouldn't have been smart.
