I don’t want a damn “Street Feat” magazine for $2! Stop asking every time I walk by! What the hell is that thing anyway? Does anyone ever say “Yes”? —Can’t Understand Newspaper Twit

no… no they don’t.
you’d be better off spending the $2 on ear buds so you can pretend to ignore him…
I purposely walk down by Tom’s and sweet Jane’s to avoid him…
He gets me every time!
Ugh. That guy.
Street Feat is a magazine that is written, published and sold by residents who have (for a large part) mental health and poverty issues. The sellers made a few dollars, advertisers get their ads read and it puts some people to work when they may not have alternatives.
At least the person is making an effort to solicit something legit, unlike the parasites that want something for nothing. Cut this one some slack. Don’t get me started on panhandlers. I feel it’s going to be at an epidemic level this summer.
Six or so days of sun in row…gonna be a pan-summer. Ahh…halifax. Took about 4 years of walking by him before he seemed to recognize me and not ask if I wanna buy one. Even once a day wasn’t too bad, but when he asks you twice in 5-10 minutes, that got annoying.
There’s a benefit concert for Street Feat — the newspaper that reports on issues surrounding homelessness — tonight at the Foggy Goggle. Minimum donation of $5, but you should give $10. The operating budget of a newspaper is ridiculous, and I can’t imagine that advertisers would want to buy space in Street Feat. That’s why it costs you $2 per issue.
I once bought all his copies for 1.50$/piece and sold them for 2.50$/piece! Thats an increase of 66% motherfucker. Lets see the banks give me that!
I like the Street Feat guy that sells in front of the Second Cup on SGR. He’s well mannered and doesn’t bother anyone, unlike many of our fair city’s squeegee kids and panhandlers.
Yeah I don’t mind him at all.
Well at least he is working and isn’t bagging for your money. He is actually doing his job. So unless you want to hear “spare some change?” shut up.
It’s a job.
At least he’s not bumming for change like the other lowlife scumbags.
Yeah, leave him the fuck alone. He could be out there on the corner just asking for change without merchandise. Buy a copy for once and see what it’s all about. Or, just suck his presence up like everyone else and either ignore him or say no thank you. Fucking dumbass.
