Wow, this is crazy when you can stand outside a store and earn $300 a day by bugging people for spare change. Don't people have any pride anymore? Police: Oregon panhandlers raking in the green COOS BAY, Ore. - A police survey says panhandlers outside Wal-Mart in Coos Bay can make $300 a day. Inside, it takes a clerk a week to make that much. Police say people who have a problem with that needn't look to the law - asking for money is considered protected free speech. Coos Bay authorities say most panhandlers are not criminals. Coos Bay Police Captain Rodger Craddock says most have lived in the city a long time and they actually have homes. Craddock says, "This is just their chosen profession." He says most are docile, and that people should report those who are not. Bob More, director of housing and emergency services at South Coast Community Action, says many panhandlers are there for the money - to feed their addictions. He suggested a voucher system involving tickets people could give that are good for a meal or bed in a shelter. Original article: http://www.komotv.com/news/local/15157611.html
Well, I was thinking that I should quit my job and start "working" outside Wal-Mart. I wonder how do they earn that much a day. Perhaps they accept visa or american express =))
this reminds me of people washing windows in big citys making 2-5 dollars a car 5 bucks a car X 100 a day = $500 tax free where is the windex?
I've tested this new kind of job and it has earned me over $215 in my first day! (I live in San Francisco) I also have no limbs, so that's a huge plus for me earning more playing the sympathy card!
The average in New York is between $40-$80 a day plus any the deposit cans they can find. Each can pays $.05
Detroit is filled with this. Unbelievable how fast they take my empty cans and bottles off my hands when tailgating. 10 cent deposit each here in Michigan. If they ask me for money, I offer them a beer instead. If they ask me for a beer, I tell them give me $1 per beer.
I think it is right time for me to quit my job as webmaster and jump start my career as beggar, which is really getting better returns going by the stories published here
She was outside my Wal-Mart. She wasn't blind. I often see her across town (5-6 miles away) begging outside the CostCo as well.
lol. She looked at me as I was walking up to her. Plus, I've seen her walk up to the crosswalk and push the button flawlessly.
