I would agree with you Fatty, but there is a simple difference between the people you are describing and this lady is that no where in this story did you ever see the lady looking for a handout.
There are people (dispite what you may think) that are actual good hard working people that dont have the option of a better job. I know in MN especially the job market sucks in most industries and the pay isnt shit.
There is no reason to cut this girl down because of her situation. She didnt say shit to you, she doesnt even know or probebly care you even exist.
Maybe one day you will all of the sudden hit a bad string of luck and be out on your ass, Broke as fuck without a dime for food or anything, then someone will come across you and you will ask them for money and they will laugh and say "You put yourself in that situation, i guess you should look for a job, forget what your going through you leech".
Keep these retarded posts to yourself you douche.
Sheides, Awesome story man, Helping out a kid at that age will stick with him for life. You and your bro will become mentors/heros to that kid and he will always remember you for spending time with him.
