I mean I hadn’t heard of the practice of hiring people from parking lots, yeah. That was sorta the whole reason I asked the comment section about it. But you are assuming everywhere must have the practice and people not knowing about it must be rich, not realizing not everywhere has that practice. (I mean tbh pretty sure you just assumed I was American, because of course)

I had limited experience and asked about it, you came in hot calling me names because you didn’t know better.

I’m sure you know those countries hire people from the parking lots better than someone who lived and worked there, despite not knowing even which countries I’m talking about. I think that says it all, really.

I mean I’ve only visited 15 countries and worked in 4. What would I know. You’ve what, searched this thing so I assume this is new knowledgw to you too that it happens elsewhere. And here you are shitting on me for not knowing this is a thing. That’s funny.

And how common do you think this hiring people on the hardware store parking lot practise is, globally speaking? Can you name some countries where you know this is a thing, or where you’ve seen people hang around the parking lot, waiting to be hired?

You just assumed I had to be rich for not knowing in the US people hire random people in the parking lot of some store. Very reasonable, especially if you didn’t assume I was already somehow familiar with this custom.

This is shocking news to some, it seems. Some of these loons thought I was some government spy for not knowing about hiring work from hardware store parking lot.

I could comprehend it just fine when someone explained it. I’ve just never heard of this hanging around in parking lot to get work thing before so I was asking what the deal was. What a bubble to live in, not knowing about some Yank thing.

Like fuck off dude, stop assuming everyone is American and knows everything about the US. Rest of the world exists too. And you are saying I live in isolated bubble lol

Yes how dare I not know about the home depot workers in the Los Angeles. Fucking hell. Get over yourself and realize the rest of the world might work differently to you

Funny how some of you think it’s more likely I’m some government spy instead of not being an American. Get your head out of your ass, the rest of the world exists too.

We don’t even have home depot in my country you fucking genious

Finland. I’ve never ever in my life heard about people picking up workers for anything from a damn parking lot.

This is not a thing in my country you asshat

I’m guessing most of these are people who have come in illegally or otherwise don’t have work permits? It makes more sense that they’re hired for simpler handyman stuff, I was imagining some bigger construction projects where at least where I live they can be pretty strict about checking the paperwork. Off-the-books handyman stuff is somewhat common, but theyre hired through different ways. “I know a guy”, some websites or Facebook groups. Usually it is local or maybe Estonian people who do it because they want to avoid taxes.

Why do you think I’m a rich kid? I work construction myself. And not the lucrative work either

Are they allowed to be hired or does tht happen off-the-books illegally? Undeclared work around construction is not rare where I’m from but the scale of it just surprises me, that you’d just wait around in a parking lot for work.

Hanging around in a parking lot hoping to get work sounds strange. Is this a common thing? Does it have to do with working off the books or working without work permit?

Ah that’s true

To save it from North Koreans?

You mean hero cop Mark Fuhrman?

You’ve read Caesar’s works too??
