Well it's sounds sketchy an I get making your own money on the side bit you have to ask yourself if he s qwilling too do that too his main job what is he gna neglect on your house or not do to satisfaction, tell em go practice on a dog house

Yawn

When will he do the job if he works during the day for someone else??

Capitalism. The company doesn’t give a rats ass about the painter. It’s sole motivation is profit. Ethics and morals mean nothing. Funny when the painter decided to play by those same rules he’s somehow unethical?

If it’s a minor job just go w the guy. By minor I mean some interior painting or shutters. He will save you money. If you are getting entire exterior of your home done then yea get a legit insured contractor.

So is this the group to ask about a plumber with a side gig to install my shower head?

Wow you go pretty far out of your way to stand up for a company that you should just blankety condemn. I guess that’s what happens when you’ve been conditioned so thoroughly to defend capitalism at all costs.

Don't shop there... don't buy their products....they will go out of business.... stealing is wrong no matter what. It's pretty fucking simple. I don't care what companies charge for products. If it doesn't fit my budget, I don't shop there. I don't steal from there either. No one is forcing anyone to work there. Don't like the pay, then find another job. Don't like how the charge for their products, shop elsewhere, don't like the salary, find another job.

Fuck companies that exploit workers and sell their products for unreasonable amounts. I don’t care what you say above. Consumerism is a death cult and the only reason people buy this crap is because rich people have presented the idea that it’s worth owning. Those plastic crap glasses with maybe a small pellet of gold or jewels on them cost less than $10 to make per pair. And are sold by people who can’t even afford to pay rent because the company making the profits doesn’t care about its workers and would just buy slaves if it was legal to do so. But go ahead and tell me why that is defensible in any way shape or form.

Lmao....who gives a flying fuck how expensive they are and how much they charge. Stealing is wrong no matter the price of any item. Most people who aren't POS just don't shop at those places and take their hard earn money to places they can afford. We don't steal because "fuck them for charging to much." Those women stole cuae they know just how expensive those glasses are and they know how much they can get. They didn't steal 10$ crappy glasses, did they? I shop where I can afford and don't steal from places I can't. Get a fucking grip man/women.

I would question the ethics of someone who would steal business from his employer. Ask yourself this, if he was legit and could run his own company without stealing work from his employer, wouldn’t he be doing so? He’s likely using substandard labor, not insured, not paying tax etc. I know tons of trade guys who do side work, but they get jobs through word of mouth and reputation, not funneling work to themselves at their full time job

You shouldn’t be expecting any more than the people working the counter at sunglass hut since you think that’s a fair wake for corporations to pay their employees you shouldn’t expect to be paid anymore yourself. So hop to it and solve that crime for $13.50 an hour!

Police need to exist but discriminatory ideologies like the war on drugs which was entirely built on racial and socio economic discrimination does not. Police might have a little more respect in society if a majority of their funding wasn’t to harass people who sell drugs to consenting adults. It’s ridiculous that people selling drugs to consenting adults get threatened with decades of prison time meanwhile when Jeffery Epstein raped children he served 14 months with 72 hours weekly work release. Defund the police is the wrong slogan but ending the illegal unconstitutional prohibition of mind altering substances would effectively defund the police. Meanwhile more people die as a result of consuming alcohol and tobacco every year than do of all illegal drugs combined. But you conservatives are just too stupid to understand logic.

Companies who’s products are made for pennys by paying children and other exploited people in countries where they have no labor rights and then go and pay laborers in America wages that don’t afford them to have a life worth living they deserve no sympathy. They shouldn’t be allowed to run their buisiness model only exists because they can legally get away with stepping on people. These companies don’t deserve the right to make profits when the cost for their products is kept artificially low by stepping on weak human beings who have no means to fight their own exploitation. And the prices they sell these products for is just disgusting. As soon as those sunglasses walk out the door they loose more than half their value and then they’ll end up in a landfill less then 6 months after they’ve been purchased. But go ahead and defend the indefensible.

Man I miss summer

Cool. Incorporate, buy insurance, and get your own leads. Otherwise the only one getting robbed is this guys employer who’s paying this guy to estimate a job for himself.

Love BI, but soooo expensive.

So since many companies use very cheap labor in other countries, that gives you the right to walk into stores and just take whatever the hell you want without paying? You leftists are why police needs to exist

8-15%? Not even close. Insurance, overhead, markup, probably doubling the cost to go through his employer for a smaller job like this. It’s also worth it.

I mean, someone who’s ethically ok with undercutting business from their employer might have some other ethical shortcomings.

Also try their Chicago hotdog....

Oh no!!!! how will sunglass butt CEO’s afford their next yacht or weekend vacation that costs what their retail laborers earn in multiple lifetimes of full time work!?!? It’s a travesty a sham and a mockery!! It’s a travashamockery!!!!

Ignoring the theft of the corporate class because it’s been accepted and legalized by a social system that was once built on chattel slavery is demeaning to your humanity.

If corporations want us to be so sad when they loose the ability to pay their executives more bonuses then they already receive maybe they should offer their “EsSeNtIaL” workers a living wage with benefits and vacation time maybe workers deserve a life worth living instead of this garbage system that was clearly intended to be a replacment for slavery now that the rich can’t overtly own human beings. What a joke you people are

I know I would

It doesn’t matter if they are robbed or not corporations use EVERY REASON THEY CAN FIND UNDER THE SUN!! To raise their retail prices while using EVERY REASON UNDER THE SUN to keep their wages as low as possible. You are such a bootlicking capitalist appologist. There is no reason anyone should feel bad for rich people right now they are responsible for this horrible society we live in where war and prisons are over funded and the homeless population gallons meanwhile it’s such a mystery why nobody would want to work when it’s been obvious for decades that working full time doesn’t earn a life worth living unless you’re an exploitative corporate executive who steps on others to get ahead
