ECIL | "Here" there is a network of panhandlers "working" in shifts. You won't see them in inclement weather. Each of them has is a small seat, water bottle, and small backpack. Not many of them truly look destitute. I've seen a shift change where #2 will get out of a car, walk to the spot #1 has been "working", spend 5 minutes together, then #1 walks to the car for a ride either to a different spot or wherever they are staying. I haven't tried to figure out the payouts behind it. If they can work a corner as part of a network they can look for a job. Not many of them are hustling the veteran angle.
Speaking of which, there have been a few times I've seen panhandlers 100 ft away from a Help Wanted sign............
