I started out at Jewel Osco, along with
Harders Minute Man Gas Station
Either that or do temp labor.
John: Get your copy here guys, buy
a copy here only $2. Streetwise!
The owner the gas station, so my
brother-in-law offered me a job to come
work out at Healthcare Partners of Nevada.

In 2013 they were laying people off, so my
last unemployment check ran out then after
December 2013. Which was why I was kind of curious
about Streetwise, and I was also familiar with it too.
At Streetwise I've been working for little
bit over 4 years now. 
John: Buy your magazine! Hello!
At Streetwise, you can basically dictate what hours
you want to set for yourself, like you want to work
8 hours, you can do that.
John: Excellent!
Customer: Alright!
John: Thank you, have a good day!
Customer: Thanks!
Every day at Streetwise is also payday.
even if you get paid $50,
$100, or anywhere in between, every
day is payday at Streetwise.
Customer: Hi!
John: Hi, how are you doing today dear?
John: I like your coat!
Customer: Oh thanks!
John: It looks warm! Have a great day!
My biggest pet peeve about any job is
wearing the same uniform as everybody else.
Outside the badge here that you have, all
you gotta do is have a shirt, shoes, and 
a clean pair of pants and clean clothes.
A bunch of people, they mumble, they mumble
to themselves, "Oh, go get a real job.”
I wish they would understand more that we
are not just out there begging, that we
actually buy your own product, and
we're not being given magazines.
John: Thank you! Have a good day!
Customer: You too.
We have to basically stay out there,
build our spot until we come up with
enough to buy new magazines, enough
to pay for rent, transit fair, et cetera.
John: Streetwise today! Hi! How are you
doing today dear?
Customer: How are you?
John: Alright! Thank you very much!
Customer: Thank you!
We might be a family of outcasts and

Vendor: So we know, we create for everybody,
