Good for them. I have a 20' walk in front of the house from the
driveway, then a couple of steps to the door. It will take me 20
minutes to clear it. I figured if a kid going by wanted to do it, I'd
pay 20 bucks. Not easy work, but still a good hourly rate. A bit
later. there was a knock at the door. Two teenagers offered to shovel
it for me. I asked how much and they wanted $25 apiece. No thanks.
I'll do it later. I clear it for safety as we never use that door
anyway.
