and not looking for a free handout

That’s exactly what they’re doing.


How is you buying candy at a markup from a kid a free handout? It’s capitalism at its finest. Like a 19th century immigrant selling shirts from a pushcart.

this reminds me of Jakarta, when kids come to the car trying to sell stuff. difference being jakarta is a poor poor country so I feel sorry for them, but I guess America is headed that way or is there already

White kid = I don't care about your stupid baseball/softball team.

Black kid = Why the frick are you trying to sell me candy/cereal?

Maybe it's because my reference is Baton Rouge, but I've never seen white kids selling candy. It's always black kids selling money for some charity or AAU basketball.

I haven't either.

White kids just ask for your money.

I never carry cash.

Never.

I have an “emergency $20 bill” hidden in my car for gas if it’s needed but it’s had not been used for a decade.

I just tell them that I have no cash. It’s the truth.

My most hated is when a baseball team spreads out at an intersection and go window to window asking for a handout.


Actually I hate them all equally. But those are the worst. I haven't giving any money in years. Just tell them "ah, no thank you, not today".

I usually drop a mixture of washers and drywall screws into the basketball buckets. If your mom wants heroin she should work for it like everyone else

Then when I leave another kid asks me if I want to buy some candy. Baton Rouge is such a shithole.

While I agree wholeheartedly with the second sentence, kids fundraising by selling cady has nothing to do with it. Most of these are programs for their schools and the kids are trying to get rewarded with prizes such as a limousine ride to McDonald’s, a magic show or a slamdunk show.

Bunch of snowflakes in here getting triggered by kids selling candy

Does Baton Rouge not have Walmart grocery pickup yet? Pull up, get groceries delivered to car, leave. No fee. No talking to anyone (other than delivery boy/girl).

Because if I wanted candy I'd pick some up in the checkout line for less than the kid is selling for. But I don't even want candy.

Would it be legal to shoot them with a squirt gun, loaded with some high quality H20?

I know you can sneeze, or cough on them.

You guys complain about everything. The fact that you shop at WalMart says it all, though.
