aggressive panhandling/salesman.

Pride?  Shit, if they're making $30 an hour they should have some pride.  That's a decent wage.  Besides, panhandlers get a bad rep.  They're just doing a job.  People want to feel as though they are helping others and by panhandling you are providing a valuable service to these people.

I know what you are saying but it takes a special sort of person to stand there and smile with their hand out, while dressed all dirty and shit.  I am not knocking it, I am saying, one has to be impervious to others' judgement to do this as a moneymaker.

This is how I feel in a nutshell. I would die on the inside if I had to ask people for money like that. Just the thought of someone doing so gives me secondhand embarrassment.

This is something i could never do. I have a certain amount of pride and ego i must keep.

Exactly. Which is why begging should be banned for white people.

As of late I've been one of those "human directionals" or sign spinners. The times when I'm posted off a highway there's pretty much a 90% chance that there's going to be one of those dejected looking panhandlers. At first I was rather discouraged watching some of those fuckers make more in an hour or two then I'd earn in wages for that day. One time when I had to do tricks for a Mattress Depot by Costco there was a mexican with his whole clan out there. His wife, and 4 kids, while he holds up a sign saying something to the effect of "just lost my job, anything helps etc."

I believe it took about 2 hours before someone called the cops. It was summer and something close to 90 degrees. None of his runts had water, were all loitering on top of the retaining wall made out of boulders, and no shade. I am consoled by the fact that we may both be holding up signs, but I still retain a degree of pride, and the show I put on draws attention away from them anyways.

I have yet to receive any cash tips, but I've been smoked out, given a beer or two, and one particular scorching sunday was woken up from my second hour and a half long nap (yea I got paid for shamming out of half my shift!) behind the nearby strip mall by a church goer who gave me some hotdogs and water. I miss that client/contract spot because it happened to be nearby my favorite local bev n smoke. I guess even slacking I did a pretty damned good job, helped sell all but 1 house in that particular housing area. Not to mention it's pretty gratifying to be recognized several cities away(the guy recognized me from Federal Way when I was bussing it home from Seattle at the Tukwila light link rail station)  as "that bearded badass white dude tearing it up with a sign."

Before anyone knocks what I do, take into consideration how chill I have it; I call to clock in, call to clock out (which I havn't done in months!) and I don't have a boss constantly breathing down my neck, sure on occasion a supervisor is supposed to drive by to make sure I'm there when I'm supposed to be. If I have the funds for it, I drink beer and smoke weed on my breaks. 85% of the time my boss gave me compliments on my tricks/routine, I was quite inebriated off one substance or another.

At least you're doing a legal job, making money...thats all that matters
