    Doesn’t seem any different to me than standing their working as a retail cashier. You’re getting paid to destroy your feet. That’s the point.

      Yeah but the beggar is self-employed and can go home whenever he wants. He’s actually better off.

      I used to work in retail and I used to have to hang around in the same era of the store because it was my area of the store and they had one of those infomercial TV ad things in my aisle and it was on loop that repeated maybe every 30 seconds. That thing actually caused me mental anguish, it was like water torture listening to the same 30 second thing on a loop, for 8 hours a day.

      I used to go hid in the stockroom to get away from it.
