bums are everywhere in Atlanta

Filed under: by jia zhou at 8:48 pm

I was disappointed to see people roaming around the downtown area of Atlanta, without find a decent job, ask people around for changes. They seems healthy, no disability traits, and they perfectly normal, just like any of us. Why would they rather panhandle on the street, not find a way to get a normal job to provide for themselves? Were they that lazy to get up their backbone, and search an agency which can help them?

Once, my friends and I get out from a VietNamese restaurant just 2 minutes away from the downtown area. I was going to get my car in the parking lot; suddenly, there is a man come out from nowhere, and ask me for some changes. His excuse was that he lost his credit card, and he living in South Cobb area. To prove his credibility, he showed me his driver’s license. I believe what he said, and sympathized him for that moment. I gave him $2. A month later, my friends and I went to the same restaurant again. The exactly same person show up again. This time, he asked my friend for changes, with the same excuse. I told my friend, he is such a scam, and I told him that I gave him some changes before. We were just walk away from him.

You see the point here, some people are really lazy to find a job. There were many fast food restaurants around, and they always hire people. Although the income is minimum wage, at least you can earn a little bit of saving yourself. You can make money to fill your stomach without begging people.
