The first person to introduce this in Oxford would make a killing. There seem to be more panhandlers (per-person) here than anywhere I’ve been to. A result of the easy student pickings, no doubt.

Instead of going Dumpster-diving for maybe a half-eaten sandwich and some cold fries, Peter Schoeff, a 20-year-old homeless man, was served a slice of hot pizza dripping with cheese.

All he had to do was hold a sign for about 40 minutes that read: “Pizza Schmizza paid me to hold this sign instead of asking for money.”

Minimum wage what?
