    4 to 5 young Black men blocking your path until you pay $20 for a warm bottle of water.

    One time I didn’t buy some water from them they threw a bottle at my face.

    One time a water boy didn't make a sale to my step father and he broke the side mirror to his truck. This is equivalent to the Kia Boys making their own car lot off the expenses they make from stealing cars. If I wanted some water I'd go to the damn store. All that time spent on those street corners could be spent in a library or after school activity. These think pieces are doing nothing to actually help these kids. Shining light on one corner isn't going to motivate these kids to do something positive when they're being rewarded for nothing, even getting mad at those who don't reward their behavior. Piss off with that bs.

    Did haven't any teach me about money or how to make business legally.
    If you know what it's like to not eat for as long as 3days in a row, that's being hungry.
    Once I figured out how to make money and legally, never got hungry again.
    This story inspires me to never stop being on the grind.
    Am about to retire from corporate life, in my mid-60s and will never stop trying help my family, others and myself.😊
    Keep it up Atlanta Water Boys!!!

    These young men must learn the first rule of sales . Your presentation means everything. Don’t intimidate your customers or they might report you or harm you if they feel threatened. So tighten up your game. Learn from the nation.

    Ok, I actually heard a mother in an interview about these water boys and her son, she said if they make him stop doing it he’s gonna have to do something else illegal to make money for whatever.. so ur telling me you just can’t get a normal job like other human beings? You gotta do something shady? Such bs, great mother.

    Technically there sub contractors
    They buy they case and sell direct
    Probably at a 30 percent mark up
    Nothing illegal about it
    When you have that drive to work an earn all you need is business education and you will go far
    I would love to see these gentlemen on shark tank

    Awesome! They showed real drive, entrepreneurship, smarts and courage! To all you naysayers: What do you know about growing up on the breadline, trying to help the family out with money as a kid? Selling water is by far the best idea they could have come up with.

      They throw shit at your car if you don’t buy a water. They don’t make change. They take your phone and cash app themselves.
      Just a few situations I’ve heard from these extortionists. Go buy your goofy hat. Clown shoes bro.

    I don’t have a positive opinion of Black males, but these boys are truly TRYING, and it’s not easy work to stand outside in the heat and cold, and sell water.It’s sad that they have to provide for their families, because the fathers dipped.
