Default Will work for food?

When is the last time you saw a “Will work for food” sign?

Around here we have: Lost it all / Disabled Vet / Homeless and Hungry / Need help /etc. followed with a please help and/or God Bless.

Some don’t even bother with a sign and just hold out a hat.

Has the old “help me out because I can’t get a job” given way to “give me money, this is my job”?

It is well known that you are more cultural than the rest of us, Mr. dun.

Now please answer the question.

You asked 2 questions, I answered one.
If you are going to be greedy and demand answers to both questions, at least address me by my real name.

I've seen several recently that I too thought were kind of daring, or even demanding and thought

The ones here all seem to be white males between 40-70

Mom saw one a few weeks ago that she actually didn't feel like finished his "shift" and walked over to a parking lot and got into a car to drive HOME, and ran up the road to get him a hamburger. He had a sign that said "Hungry, Please help" She came back to the intersection with a burger in the bag and handed it to him. He said "I don't want that shit lady" and threw it down if the curb hadn't been so tall I'm quite certain she'd ran his ass over after that.

I'd give this guy some $$ just for being funny.



I offered to buy a guy a sandwich one time that was begging for $$ for food and he got pizzed so I said F him.
