Haven't noticed a difference here. I've gotten 12 new regulars at $25 a week

Maybe if you wait long enough they'll starve?

That's just insane. I would not even drive past the house for $10

He will be gone as soon as his mower blows up.

You could make him look bad with some roundup balloons.

I wouldn't care if it was a 6th grader wanting money to buy a bicycle,but they'll get tired and start doing sloppy work if they don't already.

The kids looking for summer jobs don't really bother me, I think that a summer job for a kid is a great thing it keeps them out of trouble. It's those that advertise there $10 cuts on craigslist that make things so bad on the legit businesses that screw everything up.
