I think I was as much taken aback by the quality of their negotiation tactics. I guess much can't be expected from people whose ambition consists of holding a sign.
Things like "Is the pay negotiable?", "Are the hours flexible?", "Can you assist with transportation?". Yeah they may not get the job but at least sound like they have a brain. They might lead to some negotiation, I've actually had a job in the past where the guy with the work truck picked me up on his way.
What we get instead "How the fuck do I get to and from work then?" and "I can't because I hang out with friends and that's too early."
They have to start with presenting themselves as adults, and that was something I learned when I was trying to get a job bussing tables as a 15 year old.
It also appears by glancing at the comments on this post, that I've unintentionally co-opted it into a soliloquy of rants on my thoughts about lazy people.

They probably think they’re doing that. Social Media is awash with hiring or salary negotiation advice that’s really only valid if you’re like a highly qualified engineering grad and young autists have to learn that somewhere.
Sad as it is you could be right. If they've never been given any idea on how to present themselves and have to find it on YouTube, then it could be quite true they have no idea otherwise.
It's formerly a parent's job to teach their kids basic life skills including negotiation. But, you know, parents want to be their kid's friend instead of an authority figure.

"Bro imma need a two hour lunch break to go home and smoke a bowl. It helps me relax and get through the day. Thats not gonna be a problem right?"
"Also do you drug test?"
Literally our enemies right now, to a lot of us.
It really is clown world isn't it?

Yeah, I don't have an issue with negotiating terms of employment, it's the way they are doing it that is doomed to failure.
