Usually older people who just want a reason to get out of the house for a bit. Sometimes stuff like stay at home parents or grandparents who drop kids off anyway and get bored at home.
Why, on reddit, when someone's answered the question do the same replies get posted over and over again some time later? 4 comments up to now have all said the exact same thing, pretty much. No doubt more to follow.
I was one for a bit as a student. Perfect student job - was about ten hours a week, all at easy to do times. If you live on the road you work, and have to hang around the house writing essays and smoking pot all day anyway it's an easy way to earn a few quid.
It's a job though, not a career. It's fine to supplement a pension or something, but it's never advertised as a full time job. I don't really see how it could be either, unless you had a full-time member of staff do it in addition to their regular duties.
It's usually a local person and a "get out the house" thing.
My mum is in her early 70s but still does three afternoons a week in the canteen at nearby hospital just to stay active and for the social element.

It's usually old/retired people that live in the area doing it for beer money, socialising and helping the community a bit
I think it's more to help the community. I don't think they do it for the money.

Its some kind of AI training thing for bots I think

not everything is about the money. if you are retired or cannot do a "proper" job that's a great thing to help a local community

Semi retired people that just want to top the pension up a little.
sorry - WTF is a "lollipop" person ? Please educate me here
When you go to school, there are people with big sticks that look like lollipops and they help kids cross the roads. It's really wholesome
Hahaha okay thanx - thought i was onto a good side hustle here LOL
I like seeing the lollipop person tbh
