An Iowa man, did the unthinkable after two men rejected his job offer
and instead continued begging for donations. So he created a sign of his
own and stood next to them, urging
people not to contribute.Mike Pothoff told ABC affiliate WQAD-TV.
"I said, 'You're hired,' and they said, 'we're not from around here.' I
said, 'Well, you're here,' and then they just smirked and turned
around,"
Pothoff later saw the men begging for money at a Muscatine shopping center.So he wrote on his yellow poster,
"offered these guys a job, they said
no, don't give money" and stood next to the panhandlers, promoting his
own cause.
Michael Wooldridge, who identified Pothoff as his uncle, posted an
image on Facebook showing Pothoff standing beside the panhandlers. The
post has been shared tens of thousands of times.
Pothoff says he doesn't have any problems with panhandlers, but it
bothered him that the panhandlers scoffed at his offer. He also says the
job offer still stands.
"If they're going to hold a sign out there and ask for money and say
they're homeless, I can hold a sign out there and say I offered these
guys a job, don't give them money
