I was out with my brother-in-law a few years ago when we were coming up on one of the guys holding a sign. I said here give him this dollar. He says to me dont do it. I say why not. He says I'll show you. Same day we go back to his place and get a piece of cardboard and a marker. He didnt even change his cloths to something raggetty. He goes to a street corner while I sit in the car. Tells me wait here I'll be back soon and take you to dinner. I sat from the car and watched him and in about 45 minutes and he jumps back in the car. He averaged almost a dollar a minute. I got a free dinner out of it. He told me go to the right place at the right time and these guys are easy making more $$$ per day than I am busting my butt at work. My brother-in-law is the king of con, but it's the first time I had seen that. Every once in a while when Im struggling I consider doing it, but it ticks me off so much when I see it that I cant bring myself to do it.
