Yeah but the beggar is self-employed and can go home whenever he wants. He’s actually better off.
I used to work in retail and I used to have to hang around in the same era of the store because it was my area of the store and they had one of those infomercial TV ad things in my aisle and it was on loop that repeated maybe every 30 seconds. That thing actually caused me mental anguish, it was like water torture listening to the same 30 second thing on a loop, for 8 hours a day.
I used to go hid in the stockroom to get away from it.
I used to work at an arcade. Along with having to hear every machine go through its demo over and over again when no one was playing it, they also had a video tape on a hour loop. During Christmas, because the song just came out, I had to hear All I Want For Christmas Is You, every hour, 40 hours a week for a month and a half. I hate that song far more than most people who hate it.
As someone who used to regularly go to the gym, this is why I hate Shake it Off by Taylor Swift, and dislike her music in general. They played it about every half an hour. Spend an hour and a half at the gym, and you’d hear that song three times. Go to the gym three days a week, and it doesn’t take long to absolutely hate the sound of her voice.

Perhaps we should make retail work more dignified than being homeless.
They’re not necessarily homeless.
