When I had my business and one of side jobs was planting signs in the ground for construction sites, I would pay my son $15 for each posthole he dug, they had to be 4' deep and big enough for a 4X4. I had about 10 to do one day total of 20 holes, my son couldn't help me, and when I left the sign shop there was a guy standing there with one of those "Will Work for Food" signs, so I told him I would pay him $15 for each hole he would dig, and feed him lunch. His answer was "Just give me some money I can't do that kind of work." I told him to piss off, ended up putting all the holes in the ground myself in about 4 hours. The beggar would have made about $150 in two hours and had lunch thrown in.
