What kind of job, how much is the wage? There are so many questions, so don't judge when you have no idea.

He doesn't know their circumstances. They could be posers or they could be genuinely needy. He doesn't know if they have means to get there on a regular basis, or to purchase the uniform, clean the uniform, have daily showers for work. If they have no address they can't fill out the legal paperwork for work. Bottom line, guy with the yellow sign is just being a jerk. You don't know what's going on in their lives.

True story. In my final job before recent retirement, I drove a small school bus for a route that had only homeless kids that were either staying in shelters or with relatives in a nearby city while attending school in my city. One day I was stopped at a traffic light where a pretty convincing-looking homeless guy was begging from vehicles.A couple of middle school kids on my bus actually started making fun of this guy and against my orders, lowered their windows and dropped a couple dollars out the window for their amusement of watching him scramble to pick up the cash. I pointed out to them that they had no room to be making fun of someone for being homeless and one of them actually got away with complaining that I insulted him by pointing out that he was homeless. PC gone mad and in this case the kid was merely using it as a weapon to get me in trouble as his feelings were not hurt and he thought the whole thing was funny. These were coincidentally poor Hispanic kids who were doing this. Yes, these nimrod kids were too young to maybe know what jerks they were being, but since their behavior in this case was pretty normal for them, it was one of the last straws before I quit, since I could not get any of them disciplined for behavior or transfer myself off the route even with all my seniority( the management wanted to force me out and this was their method). I'd had enough bullshit from the kids, the schools, and management that I retired to get away from the stress. The schools and bus company would never suspend or kick them off the bus because they were poor, minority, and homeless, but the kids knew this so they could act as they pleased. It became abusive, not having a monitor on the bus to deal with them for me.

Point of rant is: Sometimes both the homeless and those who judge them are pretty clueless about themselves and others, displaying huge deficits in insight or empathy.

There is a guy who stands in a spot in town with a sign and I'm a vet. I told him he should copy his dd214 and I would give him a couple bucks and some phone numbers to call. He didn't take my advice.

I was in Seattle last summer and gave a woman a buck. She came up to me the next day and asked again. I said I have yesterday. She said my check hasn't come. To which I replied neither has mine, I live cheaply so I can travel. She left.

Beautiful ?????? Had a woman in Richmond who was panhandling a couple of years ago decline some Gatorade on a 100 degree day and demanded money instead.

The couple said that she needed to get of the heat and hydrate since they were EMT’s they felt like she could be in danger.

She then ran across the street to her newly leased Ford Escape and when the couple confronted her she then ran into a McDonald’s and requested that someone call the cops and found herself being charged with assault and she was outed for faking being homeless.

Which we found out later had happened in two other cities in Virginia. ??
