Panhandling vs. Mystery Shopping

Panhandlers don't have time to make long meandering posts on message boards that take 7 paragraphs to say what most people could say in 2 sentences........

Irene, absolutely most of your costs are much higher, although we do have sales tax between 8.4% and 9.5%.

I toggled a long time ago. I don't have time to read through nonsense.

No toggle for me. Sometimes I find it hilariously entertaining.

Scrolling is not entertaining. You can always click to show a post. In this case, it saves me many pages of scrolling.

My mind is boggled that this is actually a thread....figure it out, minimum wage is 11 to 15.00 per hour, but have to work. I think you may not want to work, as cell phone jobs pay 12.00 and up, doing three a day.......Sign with more companies, none of us would do this for 5$. No sympathy here.

In my state the min. wage is $7.25 an hour, and your lucky if you can find a high paying job, unless you are in the tech industry and then they only start at $11.25. Fast food joints only pay $7.75 an hour.

So there is not one formula involving one minimum wage for all shoppers' situations. But all shoppers can measure their own earnings against their costs associated with acquiring those earnings. Each shopper can adjust their life-ways up or down in order to make their small or large earnings stretch or grow. But do not tell this to bgriffin. He would deplore the excessive number of concepts and characters contained in this simple post.

Dunno if you all factor in job board hunting time, negotiating with schedulers, and just "waiting" for the right pieces of a route puzzle (or non-route shops too) to fall into place into your hourly.

I might make $5/hour after that.

Maybe I can create routes will "gaps" in them and panhandle during the time gaps. Maybe better than not doing a route with those gaps.

Maybe shoptastic should call some Attorney Generals.

Dumas is one of my favorites.

Dumas IS my favorite.

Agreed, ya'll, a truly great storyteller, but the man was in desperate need of an editor.

So do a lot posters here and their stories are not the least bit entertaining.

I'm sorry I'll try to be more interesting.
