You know those guys on the on /off Expressway ramps that are asking for HELP hold a cardboard signs wearing nice warm boots. </SPAN>
Early this morning I had to go to Akron and I got off on Perkins saw this guy holding a sign NEED HELP, I drove by him to go make some sales and money. I figure I’m doing the same thing as he is doing. 30 Minutes later I’m heading back to the office in N Canton. I get off on Portage and who do I see the same guy, same sign and same clothing … WTF Good scam </SPAN>J</SPAN></SPAN>
I’m thinking take my SS, quite working so hard, stop investing hundreds, collect my VA and buy cardboard, mis spell a sign Hepl and stand outside for two hours … good deal.. not tax on that profit..

Saw a rag-tag-looking guy when I was leaving the Red's game this weekend holding a sign that said, "High Maintenance Girlfriend - Please HELP!".
No doubt some people gave him money just for the laugh!

I swear the bums in Akron all work for some drug lord or something. I've actually seen one come to the corner of buchtel and goodkirk and take the one already standing theres spot. Like they were working shifts or something.

I hate it when your job causes you to relocate.

Quick way to find out if they are serious. Offer to take them to any fast food place and buy them whatever meal they want.
I've only had them take me up on it twice, and NEITHER was the typical guy on a corner. Both were guys walking around, one across from City Hospital in downtown Akron. Stereotypically he wanted KFC chicken
.
The other was in downtown Mobile AL, guy just wanted a hot dog and a coke.

There used to be a family that worked the corner of my parents car dealership. We counted 150 cars give the guy something in about a 2 hour period. Let's say it averages 1$ per car he's making 75 bucks an hour tax free. The family worked shifts and even sometimes brought their dog that looked starved with them.
