To be fair, I doubt any corner store would hire him. Any real job is probably more lucrative than peddling stolen goods off the street, so there's likely a good reason for why he doesn't have another option (e.g. mental health or substance abuse).
- asdff 5y agoa real job is only paying $15/hr. You can honestly probably make a lot more just selling cigarettes on a train, that's like a couple sales, or panhandling outside a bunch of restaurants, if people are giving $5's on avg thats only 3 people, and I've seen people give $20s to panhandlers. An hour is a lot of time to only come up with $15. Plus theres taxes too. Maybe child support or alimony garnishes wages earned traditionally too.
