This is just a high tech version of the beggars who stand at busy intersections with signs and cups. It must work; otherwise there wouldn't be so many of them.
Somehow I never got interested in beggardom (is that a word?) as a career option.

You'd be AMAZAED at how much can be made this way. Not necessarily the "last gaspers", but professional beggars who make a science of it.

I watched some of these who set up regularly near my home. Although most people just drive by someone would give them a dollar or two every few minutes. I calculated they probably make $20 to $30 an hour. Not bad and probably better than they could make at a real job.
