"Get a job"
This video is about the privilege of the working class people who tell homeless people who are begging for spare change to "go get a job".

This video is to depict how difficult it is for a homeless person to walk into any minimum wage store and ask for a job. I walked into numerous stores and begged for jobs then was quickly rejected. I would not even be handed a job application. I was told things like "we can't do it" or "go try somewhere else" because they wanted to get me out of the store.

I tried for 10 hours, while freezing in 7 degree weather. At the end of the night, all I went home with was $10.40 cents, a hot chocolate from a woman and a new view of homelessness.

Thank you for your kindness to the woman who bought me a hot chocolate, to the officer who gave me 2 dollars for coffee.
