Mike in Horseheads Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Amazing how a simple thread asking for help at the stadium for $12 a hour, game ticket and food can turn ugly here. SMFH 1
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 I wonder what they're offering to shovel over at Hammer's lot? ? Sal and Max can go shovel out NEF, and Sal can report on it!

I get that there are a lot of people out of work that will jump at the chance to make some cash but what a slap in the face. You can make more money flippin burgers! $12 an hour so multi-millionaires can play a game and get paid by multi-billionaires? Give me a frickin break. Pay them at least $25 an hour and give them a decent seat for the game. It's really too bad that these Billionaires dangle a little carrot out in front of people who really need the money to get cheap labor. Why don't they do something decent for these people. Surprise them with a $1,000.00 check with a memo that says "Happy Holidays". $12 an hour. What a joke! Nose-bleed seats at the Ralph are decent seats and premium seats in just about every other stadium. Proud member of the section 333/334 crew! Great view of the entire game 1

I'm neither close enough to the stadium or in need of the money. I wouldn't think of taking away an opportunity for someone who does need the money. But what bothers me is that you must think it's fine for a Billionaire to pay someone as little as $12 to do back breaking work and YoloinOhio finds it funny that I would find it Outrageous that these people are being taken advantage of by Billionaires or that you had a smart A** remark about my position. All I was saying was that I find it reprehensible to pay people so little to do a hard job. I'd like to know why taking advantage of people is acceptable? No one is being taken advantage of in this scenario. A bunch of Buffalonians have the opportunity to pocket some extra cash AND go to a Bills game against a divisional opponent. For a lot of the volunteers, Bills games aren't in the budget. 3
SinceThe70s Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Granted there's no rich owner, but for reference it looks like the going rate last year at Lambeau was $10/hour with no mention of lunch, dinner or a ticket. https://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/fans/2017/12/18/hundreds-turn-out-clear-lambeau-field-snow/961392001/

You could potentially have team "owners" out there shoveling snow and getting paid for it! Edited December 7, 2018 by thebandit27 1

I'm a 38-year old in Buffalo, and if I didn't have to be at work today I'd do it. Why? Because my kids will occasion to ask me for things that they don't need, and I tell them that I will gladly provide them with everything that they need, and only a little of what they want; they need to learn how to earn money for the things that they want. This shoveling opportunity is a great way for me to be an example to them that there are opportunities everywhere to make an extra buck. Of course, their solution to everything is to bake cookies and sell them...which they can get away with because they're cute kids. 1
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Sounds like a good character building exercise. I hear KB was also scheduled to attend, but well, you know... 1
Phil The Thrill Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 I’m thinking of signing up to shovel. I’ll probably work for a few minutes then take off in the bathroom with my phone (to watch movies) until it’s break time. I’ll eat some pizza and then go out to work for a few more minutes and then go back in the bathroom to hide for a few hours until it’s dinner time. Then I’ll eat an leave And the end of the day I will have worked for just a few minutes, make about $100 cash, get the ticket for the Bills game and I’ll get fed 2 meals. Plus I’ll get to watch some movies in the bathroom. You can’t go wrong

I know the NFL probably gave us 3 home games in December in hopes there'd be another game like the Colts last year, but I wanna see Allen throw and recievers make plays. League is giving us lots of December home games to make the fans say its too cold build us a new area and make the Pegulas say the same. Roger and the owners have an insatiable craving for money. 2

ptlmpalmer Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 I am leaving tomorrow morning and driving to Hamburg for the game this Sunday. I am about an hour east of Pittsburgh, any issues with roads up that way that I need to be concerned about? Thanks for the help!! GO BILLS!
