Walking from the RV lot toward the stadium I saw a mom walking with 5 children in front of her, all asking every single person if they wanted to buy candy.

The thing that gets me, is not one of them are ever wearing an LSU shirt... c'mon at least try a little bit. Same as the scalpers with a sign that says "I need tickets" and no LSU shirt. I mean really? At least act like you give a shite that there is a game happening.

I'm not a fan of the school fundraisers, either. Basically using free child labor to sell overpriced shite that nobody needs with a tiny amount being kept by the school. They are counting on the guilt factor of telling a kid no. Kid sells $200 worth of stuff for a prize worth $3.50. It's even worse when the high priced Catholic schools do this crap.

Even if it is legit I don't care. The parents usually trailing behind. Why are they texting on their smartphone getting their kids to sell candy? Why aren't they working? If they truly want to help their kids team or whatever, get another job. Feel bad for the kid, but really it is the parents lazy asses using these kids. There has to be some law against this. Teens under 18 can't work more than 5 hours at a time. How are 10 yr olds allowed to be out in the sun all day peddling shite?


When I was at LSU I worked concessions during the spring as a 2nd job. A lot of sports teams, church groups, cub scouts, would run a stand to make money. But that would require a couple of parents to actually get in there and work. They don't want to because they are lazy trash.
