I know struggling people in the 85006 who do this - there are a number of airport hotels not far away from this neighborhood that often have job fairs with food and refreshments served. These folks have some nice clothes to wear for these events - bought secondhand of course, and can appear as if professional and even have resumes if anyone asks but the goal is the free food and drink and the swag, some of which can be later sold. Ethical? You tell me. I look at how corporations treat workers these days and I also think two wrongs don't make a right and I look at the struggles in the 85006 - and I can understand why this takes place.
Is this any different than going to my credit union's annual meeting just for the door prizes (I won $50 last year and $75 this year) and the free spread? I really believe people are finding small creative ways to even their scores with the system, and before you think that's not right, might I suggest pointing the finger back at America and questioning what causes such behavior in the first place?
