They hung out a lot at the left turn light at intersections on the peninsula of the SF Bay Area...with a sign, "Will work for food."...etc.
Most of them looked like they came out of the Depression Era.
I always had some business cards on the dash of my truck and if I was stopped right next to them I'd tell them that they'll have more than food...$$$ in their pocket.
I'd guess maybe 30 -40 times I handed a business card and told them to call and that I always have a need for day laborers.
Only once in 20 yrs. or so did a guy show up and he was worthless, so I let him go at 10:30 in the morning.
Just sad sack con jobs, IMO.
