I would disagree with most of the people on the group who terms these kids as hustler.Sure they buy candies for $0.25 or so and sell them for a $1.But these kids are from poor background and are trying to make some money. I often buy some candies just to help them make quick buck. They are better than any homeless and putting some effort.

Many of them may use money for recreational drugs which is ethically wrong, and I don't support it but many of them may even be needy.

All I am saying is to help the kids by making them earn some money and have small sense of enjoyment.

No I will not help these kids. There is labor shortage in retail and food sectors, if they want to earn money they can find a proper job. Please don’t assume they’re all needy. Opportunistic maybe, definitely not needy. What they’re doing is unethical, illegal and is a public nuisance. The aggressive, bullying technique used by many of them feels like a mugging.

I feel the same way when I get bombarded by the kids selling girl scout cookies. Next time I’ll tell them to get a real job at McDonalds.
