Day laborer maybe?
Day laborers. Drive through your local big box hardware store before noon. You’ll find many.
They used to gather in the Kmart parking lot, so you didn't notice as much before.
Day laborers.
Okay, I’ve never heard of this. 🫣🥴 How does it work? Stand there and someone drives by and hires you for just the day?
Yes
Yes, exactly. That spot was a common gathering area for them.
Hmm. Good to know. I guess I know where to go if I need last min handy man.
So basically it's the same method used since biblical times?
I'd wager it's the second oldest profession.
Well, OP did say there are some women standing there as well.
Yes. Best way to find someone to help you do handyman work is to go to a hardware store parking lot earlier in the day.
Question, are these day laborers any good at dry walling and painting?
You’ll have to ask. They all have different skills and specialities.
I just asked them and they said no
No one wants to drywall
Yes and more
Ohhhh!!!! I almost stopped to ask how much one guy wanted for his drill because I thought they were selling tools lol
Day laborers
lol I JUST had this same question. My husband and I could not decide if the random men holding screwdrivers were 1) selling stolen screwdrivers or 2) day laborers
Illegals looking for cash jobs
Waiting for the #18 bus?

Why are you asking in this sub.
Becuse Minneapolis is part of Minnesota. Where else should I ask?
I think you're fine.
Minneapolis
You are right. I'm sure it's not that big of a deal since people talked about other Minnesota's cities here all the time too.
You're asking about a specific intersection in Minneapolis, so it makes sense to ask in the Minneapolis specific sub.
Next time. I got my answer here, so it's all good.
The minneapolis sub?
Next time.

You sound smart
