[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious as to other's thoughts on this. The parents of teens in our neighborhood have been advertising shoveling services their kids will provide during this snowstorm.

I see the working hard and making money lesson in this, but some of it seems a bit tacky on the parent's part. One mother sent out an email instructing those interested to call for quotes! Its a teen shoveling snow! And others were saying the going rate is $20 to clear a sidewalk. What happened to doing the work and being polite enough to either just do it out of kindness or be gracious enough to take whatever might be offered?

Thoughts?

Do you have any clue how much hard work this is? Why do you think they owe anyone to do it for free? You clearly haven't gone out and shoveled snow. You are entitled.

I live in a neighborhood with large lots and long driveways. There is no way I would expect a teen to do it for me or anyone else for free. We had horrible neighbors at one time who were lazy leeches. I never saw the wife ever do any thing outside but she always expected our help if we were out doing something. She had teens from our neighborhood do her driveway then paid them much less than their rate. What an entitled ass.[/quote]
