It’s because I have a JOB. Try getting one.
And I really wish someone would do something about the guy who walks up and down quinpool all day asking everyone for “Just one quarter”. When I walked by you on my way to work this morning, and I didnt have a quarter for you, it means I also didnt have one when you asked me on my lunch break walking in to the superstore, and I also dont have one for you, two minutes later, when I walk outside the superstore. Im tired of him asking me everyday, three times a day. I live, work, and eat on quinpool road, you are driving me NUTS.
Get a job. The superstore is hiring.

Well, I guess he thinks that as your day proceeds, and you spend money in all the establishments on Quinpool, that maybe you would have some change back from some of these places….silly homeless people….you should take the time to explain to him how debit works.
Y’know, there’s a great place to go when you’re broke.It’s called WORK !!!
Get some earplugs or headphones and get over yourself. Better, raise the blinders a little higher… you know, the ones that shield you from the reality of an individual without your oh-so-lucky life.
hi there, OP. perhaps you should try getting a job without a permanent address and/or SIN. no one hires people without an address, and no bank will let them open an account. so it is IMPOSSIBLE to get a legitimate job when you are homeless.perhaps you should pull your ‘im so smart’ head out of your ass and smell the roses.i for one, know something about their day-to-day reality, and help them out when i can. and im a starving student who routinely runs out of grocery money paying bills (and not eating out for lunch). go figure. maybe next time you can brownbag your lunch, and give the poor guy a quarter you saved, and put the rest of your lunch money towards paying your own bills. that way you actually might have some spare change (regardless if you want to donate it to someone).
Maybe Captain Quarters should have stayed in school, or have gotten a SIN card when he was still at home…or maybe he should find a shitty under-the-counter job.Or find a public shower.
Look, that guy IS annoying. I deal with all of them…”Hey Buddy Hey Buddy, you got some change” dude and “quiet guy with dog who politely asks for change” to name two have nothing on this ugly fucker who walks around with his hands folded in front of his chest asking in his whiny voice if I have any change.
