"WISH I COULD DO THAT"

I went to pay a Phone bill today at the Huge Shopping Center Complex where just about every Store you can Name is in there....Consistent cars coming and going Constantly.....Where I parked was on a Type of hill where you could see way down there where they were coming in...And at the Very Beginning of where they come in and where they are going out is a Red Light....And there is a guy Standing there with a sign that read "Help".....I watched and in a Period of a Half hour he was given 10 Green bills...Couldve been Ones or who knows?..But that was at least 10 dollars in the space of a Half Hour.....Now if you work an 8 hr day at 10 bucks an hour..thats 80 bucks for the day...And after taxes?..Maybe 50 clear....This guy just stands there and minumum in 8 hours...He probably takes in at least 160 dollars.(Tax Free).....And if he stays there longer?..(He probably makes a killing....The best part....Ive been told by the store People that after hes done he has a car amongst the other cars and he drives away..........I "Wish I could do That!!"..................................detective

Im thinking....Maybe I should dress like a Bum..GO miles away from where ever any one Knows me and stand there with a sign....but theres no way I could stand there and face people all day...You have to be a certain kind to do that...(Im Not)................Good money in it though............detective
My Sign would read..."Please Help Me Out".......rolling on the floor laughing ....................detective
Maybe get a Little Monkey on a String and he can go up to the cars with a little cup.............detective
Ah, another similarity between our countries. We have them here at about every intersection. And they are arrogant enough to tap against your window when you look the other way. Some of them only 'work' during peak hours when the off ramps from the highways are bumper to bumper.doh
cheers wave
I would suspect some of these guys are Professionals..............detective
I'd love to have enough time and gas to follow just one of the men and women who stand near the on ramps of intersections holding up signs to see where they go.

It would be fun to see if they get into a vehicle with another person or if they get in a vehicle of their own.laugh
The beggars have come a long way since the days of...."Heh Buddy..Can you Spare a Dime?"..................detective
...........yawn yawn yawn yawn yawn ..........
I have had people approach me in store parking lots asking for money for food. I told a couple of them (at different times) that I had just shopped and offered them some groceries (good ones, too.) None of them wanted the groceries...just money. And supposedly they were hungry, too.

Sad that people like this ruin it for the really needy...but somehow I don't think the really needy are standing out there asking for money. They are on government programs or have pride...it takes a certain type of person to panhandle...jmho. sad flower
Hello there Nam,wave We have afew of those panhandlers in our community.A friend of mine offers to buy those starving people a meal, they pass on the meal, and ask for money. Instead of supporting these people, every so often, I ll buy someone I know who is having some rough times , a bag of groceries. Then I m somewhat happy to know my giving is appreciated.yay yay
Oney....Im was falling asleep here tonite...Must be because its friday nite for some and Sat Morning for others..I dont know.....Its deader than adoor nail tonight..Geeeez!!!!!.....Most of the beggars are professionals....Theyre always the same ones there.(Acting sick and all that................:detective
...............detective .....................
Nam, I check in on the cs blogs, once, twice a day, not as many blogs lately,confused I can see that on a weekend, but not thru out the week.
Thats a New Line Simmo...Maybe I should say "Lines".....Usually they give you a Hard luck story 1st...But yours could be Nominated for an Academy Award............Good to hear from you my "Long Lost Silent Man of Many Faces".....................detective
Wow!!!! I can claim that I got a "Guest Appearance" from the "Great Simmo"....(Maybe that will up my Ratings?)..............................I dont think So...............detective
Nam,
Dont count on my appearance lifting your ratings my friend,
If i thought my appearance pleased ppl, i would be here more often.
Have enjoyed reading your blogs though.
You have many loyal followers.cheers handshake
I give a buck to the street performers. There are some really talented ones here. At least they work.

Of course people will stand by the street and beg rather than work for minimum wage without benefits. It's a no-brainer. I'd do that too. Some are brazen enough to say on their signs: "I won't lie, I need beer".
Or in another twist of trying to get that money you have in your Pocket...They will try to sell you a Watch...Real Cheap Too!..And "Its made by Boluva too"....Only on closer examination..what it says is..."Bolivia".....................detective
Yes the hand giving and merciful will become scanty.wave
"BOLIVIA" LOL laugh
