		<description>I am a photojournalist for Street Sights, a newspaper for the homeless community in Providence, RI. I really enjoy reading about these topics from different sources and viewpoints. I love the paper and everything it stands for. As for the two rude people, they are just trying to earn an honest buck and are not experienced at dealing with rejection from a sales standpoint. Maybe a little training in custumer relations and good work ethics will fix the problem. At least they are not hurting anyone or themselves. Give them some credit. However, they really should learn to realize there will be those who will not listen or buy. That is part of sales and any business venture.</description>

		<description>Hi, one correction: Spare Change is not written by the homeless, only sold by them. They use freelance writers. I am one of them. =)</description>

		<description>I would not give a dime to these people as they are mean.

The two that I see hang around street corners and I pass them every day.  I bought the paper from the guy near my office in longwood and when I did not buy it another time he said something nasty under his breath to me.  That was last year and still a year later I run into him on a daily basis and when someone does not buy the paper he gives a curt in your face remark.  

Near Trader Joes in brookline there is a woman who sits in a chair near starbucks.  Last year she came up to me and I told her I did not have a dollar on me and the woman had the nerve to say that is not what I asked you!!!! 

Being rude and sarcastic is not the way to have people buy your paper.  I love helping people out and give money to different organizations but refuse to give Spare change anything because of these two rude individuals.</description>

		<description>This reminds me of "The Big Issue", another homeless supporting magazine. Do you get that in Boston?</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;What a Great segment! You are like the Charles Kuralt of the podcast world! He would have loved your style.. I certainly do...&lt;br /&gt;
You find some wonderful people to be in touch with...so eclectic...so interesting.....&lt;br /&gt;
This one really helps give a face to the people you see around town...so many stories..such varied backgrounds...  I guess we need to stop and get to understand these people.......just a paycheck or two from where a lot of us are.....&#60;br /&#62;&lt;br /&gt;
 thanks for another great choice of stories....&#60;/p&#62;&lt;/p&gt;
