Here in SoCal the HD lots often have 10-20 guys hanging around. If you drive a pick-up truck and drive near them you get can get swarmed by guys asking for work.

On one hand it shows they do want to work and earn the money, but on the other you have to be careful about liability and sometimes you get a dangerous group. I would NEVER take a day laborer from anywhere into someone else's home especially around high dollar homes with lots of nice stuff.
