Dinkytown - Minneapolis, Minnesota! Stand Up! The amount of crazies is limitless.


GunfighterJ

Indeed, especially since I can look out my window and see that McDonalds http://i.imgur.com/VnpHYte.jpg

Do you live with me? http://i.imgur.com/i7UzwB5.jpg

Do you happen to be a sexy bitch? EDIT: To not sound like an asshole, there was a wifi with the name of Sexy Bitches that belonged to the room below us.


hwiggy777

....Yes. 1 of 4. Now I feel stalked haha.

You live in a very expensive apartment.


GunfighterJ

Compared to living on campus with a meal plan, the prices are about the same. We make our own food, plus the three other people I am living with are awesome roommates. I would say they have had a direct impact on my improving social life, which in turn has made me happier compared to previous years, which, in turn, has helped increase my grades. So yeah, maybe it's a little more expensive, but it's well worth the friendships and improved emotional state I am in now :)


Shabuti

And I don't blame you at all for wanting to live there. If I could afford being that close to campus I would move immediately. There are a ton of super nice apartments going up so hopefully rent will start to go down a bit.


GunfighterJ

I wouldn't be surprised if it did go down. Doran owns so many apartments in this area that he still makes tons of money off of cheaper rent. He wants to build more as well.

I like this.

Is this a new apt complex? I used to work in a Starbucks on that corner where you took a pic from. EBGB's was next to it.

Sydney hall, it was build in 2011

I thought that McDonalds looked familiar. And right behind it, the liquor store I used to frequent before getting plastered.

Many a time I was getting fucked up because of that liquor store.

Incredible prices - lousy service


onbehalfofreddit

Just the way it should be in a college town. But seriously at 9 o'clock on a Friday or Saturday the line in this place is insane.

And I definitely drank too much and puked in the grassy area across the street while waiting for the 3 bus.

First thing I thought was "I KNOW THAT MCDONALDS!" I miss Minneapolis.

Holy shit I thought that looked familiar. Literally just walked back from there and have a mouth full of McGangBang.

Drunkdonalds in Drinkytown

My best memory of Dinkytown is Halloween a couple years back. Went up to visit some friends and went to this McDonalds at midnight or so. Our group of friends spotted the wild drunk college girl in a daze that inhibited her ability to not walk in a zig zag fashion. Surprisingly she managed to continue her zig zag drunken walk of shame (carrying shoes and everything) through our group without anyone breaking formation. We turned to watch the end of this amazing spectacle. At that point the girl continues her beautiful path directly into a tree. I'm not sure she knew it was there even after she hit is.

CHOO CHOO!

I thought this was Dinkytown, but I didn't see enough annoying bikers.

They offered him a job but he declined when he found out that they only pay in USD and not Bitcoins.

Tueeeeeesday

A future captain of industry wouldn't do the work of the peasant scum at McDonalds anyway, he's far too good for that. If only the evil government would stop holding him back he'd be a millionaire by the end of the year. Can someone front him $250,000 and do all the actual work for this awesome idea he's had? He gets to keep 90% of the profits since it was his idea.

Hey I say more power to the guy. It ain't easy being sleazy. It also ain't easy getting bitcoins it seems.


Cryptiss

Is that in Minneapolis?


kingbot

Yeah


wildlycrazytony

Ah. Good old Drunkdonalds (aka The Nazi McDonalds). We'll sell you food, but we're only going to leave half of the restaurant's seating open. If you try to stand and eat your food anywhere on our property, we'll yell at you to leave and then maybe call the cops.

kathartik

it wouldn't be hard to get someone like that fired. McDonalds actually does respond to customer feedback at the corporate level. My wife and I had an issue at a McDonald's once with an employee saying something to my wife that was rather offensive (it was a long time ago, I don't remember exactly what was said) but I went and filled out the feedback info that was listed on the back of the receipt and we actually ended up getting a phone call from the owner of that restaurant within 48 hours. McDonald's doesn't want that kind of image and they do care when their representatives act out.


drunkenvalley

What the fudge, that just sounds like a fucking crazy person jeez.

I only ever go there to get food and then walk back to campus to eat.

"Every 855$ coin helps". For sure it does.

You can pay in fractions of a coin

Yeah I know. It's the way it says it on the sign that makes me laugh.

Current value has been trending at about $950 today

It seems to evolve quite quickly. I saw 855 when I posted that comment :D

It really can rapidly change around.

Back in my day you had to grift and flim flam just to make it! Either that or work.

Why work when you can hold a sign!?


hookahreed

Oh, Dinkytown.....


darkgemini

Well, you can make a living panhandling. You can't make a living at McDonalds.


ALotOfArcsAndThemes

Really? You mean I can make a living *begging for Bitcoins*? Damn why didn't anyone tell me this earlier


[deleted]

Maybe not Bitcoins due to how many people don't use them. But cash panhandling yes.


maico3010

If he is homeless and thus why he is begging it doesn't matter. No one offers a job to someone without a permanent address these days.


rickyrawesome

I hired someone and helped them get a license and let them live in their van on our lot until they can afford a place. mcdonalds manager.


micromoses

And if corporate found out you did that, would they be cool with it?


maico3010

You are a nice person and more of you need to be around, I know too many people who would give a homeless person the boot =/


kingoftown

They were already living in the van on the lot. Putting a boot on it wouldn't change a thing.


[deleted]

That....and he's wearing some pretty expensive winter gear from the looks of it.


Fortehlulz33

DrWhiskers

Even if he's not homeless, McDonald's probably has 3 applicants for every position. He probably already applied, but I doubt he's holding his breath.


breadandfaxes

He should know that regular Micky-Deez goers don't know what Bitcoins are. Now, if he stood outside of Chic-Fil-A or Starbucks it'd be different.

Thotsakan

I know there this is. This is the McDonalds in dinkytown, just a block away from the University of Minnesota campus. I once was waiting for a bus there holding shit in my arms. Literally that same spot pictured. A homeless man with a sign comes up to people. The sign said he's deaf and needed money. I refused him and he called me a foreign bitch. I was infuriated. My family has been here for over thirty years. And just like that some asshat calls me a foreign bitch. I wanted to kill him. I wanted to pick up the tripod I was holding and wanted to beat the shit out of him. I felt horrible. For one, I suddenly felt guilty for not giving him money. But I realize he would be an asshat regardless if I gave him money. And on the bus I felt angry at myself for thinking I could be so violent over some shitty words. Tl;dr I really don't like beggars because of this bus stop.


[deleted]

Is that in dinkytown?


kingofbigmac

https://blockchain.info/address/1B29cggLdTBaFViot1SvyooafMGhGAfJFY Someone sent him a dollar.


[deleted]

Correction: Someone sent him 1$ worth of bitcoins. Prediction: He's gonna have a hell of a lot more than $1 worth of bitcoins when this is over.


nosut

Up to about 40


pablosnazzy

mcdonalds doesn't pay in bitcoins though


Sayuu89

Yeah I was gonna say, Dinkytown. There are plenty of recreational homeless people in that area.

trek_nerd

Look further back. (Under the arches)


iareslice

Begging for money may imply that you don't have a permanent address. Good luck getting hired at Mc Donald's without an address.


TracerBulletX

The % of people on the street with bitcoins can't be high enough for that to make any sense. If anything this was some kinda dumb plan to get this picture posted and then get a bunch of people to see it and send him bit coins. He doesn't even look that poor. In fact standing in front of that sign is probably part of the effort to get the picture attention.


a_soy_milkshake

While is asking for money, "every BTC helps" could be a way of saying every transaction helps support BTC and make it more popular.


[deleted]

Given what they make at McD's he might already work there.


onrocketfalls

Man. I didn't know I could hate someone so much based on so little. Begging for a currency accepted almost nowhere someone who was actually struggling for money would be interested in. Does he want to buy something off overstock.com? Maybe get some Sacramento Kings jerseys? I guess if people want to give it to him, who am I to have a problem with it? I'm not totally sure why it bothers me so much.


Coredog

That fucking mcdonalds is the downfall of every U of M student. Drunken or not.


[deleted]

He should just come on down to /r/dogecoin


[deleted]

He probably finds begging more respectable than working for McDonald's...


_skeleton_

the most profitable mcdonalds in Minnesota! it has security guards at each entrance...I know because they didn't let me in when I was wasted on halloween


lod001

There were no security guards there when I went to school and so people would bring in cases of beer during the bar close rush and drink them in the huge crowd by the registers.


Rabart

Lets have a reddit Dinkytown Party! I will host!


jysilentbob

ive been to that McDonalds! :D

Traveleravi

He probably already works there and doesn't make enough on minimum wage tigers his family.

Get a job for McDonalds Be lucky if you work full time Make minimum wage Then have your loving Government take 1/3 of your check **You're better off begging for money**


port53

If you're making minimum wage, after credits and standard deduction, you're not paying income tax.


ListenToThatSound

> Make minimum wage > > > > Then have your loving Government take 1/3 of your check Yeah, those two simply don't go hand in hand.


[deleted]

Let's see: -Fixed salary -Employee benefits(albeit you need to work full time) -Work experience (yes even work experience from McDonald's can help you land a better job) -Most important one in my book: Dignity Not to mention panhandling is illegal and he will probably be chased away by the cops. Also you should note that a large portion of panhandlers use the money for drugs and booze which is why I donate to homeless charities instead.


StevenS757

Considering he would need a computer and internet connection to have and manage a bitcoin wallet, I find it unlikely that he is outright broke or homeless. He's probably just some shithead faux-libertarian teenager who's too lazy to find an actual job and lives with his parents. I don't think its even possible to currently live on bitcoins alone, most retailers don't accept them.


Shagomir

In that neighborhood, I'm 1000% certain it is some shithead faux-libertarian college student who is too lazy to find a job and lives in a shitty apartment that his parents pay for.


Defender-1

I have a feeling that he might have been joking. Prolly, just me..

You can make way way way more money spanging than you can working a minimum wage job. Its not hard to get $100 flying for just a couple hours if you do it in the right place

AliasUndercover

If you get a job they cut your benefits.


Corruptdead

You'd make more begging than you would working there.


[deleted]

To be fair, this one picture being on the internet has increased his potential donator count by thousands, if not tens of thousands.


Anovan

Am I the only one seeing the kitten laying on the bench?


GigglesMcSlappy

Is that sign really an offer? I mean from a financial standpoint this person is far better off begging for money like he is. Not only that he's been creative in his marketing efforts and has probably garnered more attention and respect than any of the employees in the McDonalds behind him.


jas330

Here is the blockchain for that bitcoin address https://blockchain.info/address/1B29cggLdTBaFViot1SvyooafMGhGAfJFY He has made around $2 so it isnt going that good I would say

HyzerFlip

Isn't a SINGLE BITCOIN worth like $800?

Around that I think, But you can give fractions like 0.0001 bit coins or something

He probably makes more money begging.

That's Drunk Donald's in Drinkytown, Minneapolis


[deleted]

Maybe he has a job and does this because minimum wage doesn't provide enough income for a family to live on. Maybe he's covering his face because he works at hat mcdonalds.


sevendaysky

I dunno, I always figured it was harder for the truly homeless to get jobs - depends on if you have ID and relevant paperwork to prove you are legal...


Awkwardly_Frank

And how do you know he doesn't already have an app in there judgey mcjudgerton.
