You don't see that as much anymore. One thing I have noticed living in the same house for over 16 years is that you don't see nearly as many kids offering to shovel sidewalks after a snow storm.
Couple years ago, as I was shoveling my drive. A teenager with a shovel asked if he could finish my driveway for $50.00. I told him, hold on a sec, I'll get my hat and we'll go halvesies. He didnt get it, or the job. (My driveway will hold 4 cars)
