Doubt it. But it's about what I spend when I go to get a bite to eat and a lot less than I spend when I go to the bookstore, so I am guessing there may be enough "impulse" helpers to cover the loss completely. I don't think there is a recognized non-profit organization to sanction the validity of the transactions. So you will be completely out $20 with no hopes of regaining anything except a cup of good kharma.
