RE: The Old Dog Discusses: When Life's Not Easy. From Street Vendors to Street Musicians!
That all depends on the situation. It's like begging for follows or upvotes. I used to work in a city park and a lady would come by every couple of days to pick up the empty cans and recycle them. She was relentless in her persuit. I heard later she put her granddaughter through college recycling those cans. People are very imaginative when it comes to survival.
I spent much of my youth searching for bottles to take back for the deposit so this resonates well with me.
I was pretty amazed at her determination. As a teen I too collected pop bottles for the deposits. That was how we picked up enough loot to buy what we wanted @ 10 years old!
It's a great education in being self employed!
It would prove useful to a few individuals that want it now! Thanks for a reminder of what it used to be like.
