Free Money


  • Where will you go?
    • I will go somewhere where it will be easy to give someone a dollar and I will have something to say after I give them the dollar! It ended up being First Magnitude Brewery.
  • What kind of people will you approach?
    • I will approach people who look like they are in a conversation and look inviting.
  • What will you say to get the conversation started?
    • I think I will just walk up to someone and say "Everyone deserves to be rewarded every once in a while, so here's a dollar to make your day!" And hope that they accept it.
  • What is your plan for the conversation?
    • Hopefully, they will ask me why I wanted to give them a dollar. My plan is to tell them that I just wanted to see what someone would do if I give them a dollar. 
  • Out of five attempts, how many dollar bills do you think you will be able to give away. 
    • Hopefully I will be able to give all of them all away.
  • What are your reflections on this exercise? Was giving away a dollar easier or harder than you imagined? 
It was a lot harder than I imagined, even though I was very hesitant going into it. It was awkward but everyone in the end was happy to receive a dollar, especially at a brewery where they could use the dollar as a tip for their next beer!
  • Were your predictions correct or incorrect? If they were incorrect, why?
My predictions were correct, everyone accepted my dollars!
  •  What assumptions did you make about the people you planned to talk to, whiich were wrong?
I assumed that everyone I talked to would feel awkward when I approached them but in reality, they were more than willing to talk to me, just questioned why I was giving them a dollar.

  1. Hello Jennie,

    Your spot selection was right on. People with a buzz would be more likely to accept the money from you. The second guy in the video looked amazed in the video. You did a great job responding to their questions and suggesting they use it to tip their waiter.

  3. Great job, your analysis was in-depth and you kept all feelings of honesty and respect intact. Your videos were good and it looked real and not scripted.
