You have also given more than one clue to your identity, which I suggest you delete if you don't want to delete the whole of your OP and other posts.

Sorry but... have you actually had to live on benefits with small children??

Luckily I haven't but my mother did and even in the 'old-days' it was tough and we had to rely on the help of family to get by when bills came in.

Minimum wage jobs which is all thats available to most unskilled workers. legally often do not have the flexibility of hours to accommodate single mothers.

At least this lady is trying to get work.

To be honest if she declared her earning they would affect her benefits and she'd probably not be able to pay her rent and get in a bigger mess.

I pay tax I work bloody hard but I also have some compassion.

You Celia obviously do not.

Try living on a basic benefits amount for a few months with small kids and see how you feel about this then.

I too was a bit taken aback at the brazen nature of the OP. But the idea that most of us *want* to pay tax is equally naive. In my experience, the majority of people who are able to "optimize" their tax bill do so. From cleaners, to IT contractors, to billionaire presidents. The wealthy may be within the law, but morally it's the same.


But the OP - for her own sake - should probably change the wording to something like "informal work".

Until a different system is proposed we all need to contribute if we want to use services - can't have it both ways. Agree that the big companies need to be pursued otherwise the rest of us are disproportionately subsidising them - particularly in view of the Starbucks example this morning.

OP best of luck to you earning a bit of cash- this is a tough, tough city to live in with limited funds, as a single parent etc. You may have paid taxes previously. The time will come when you will be able to contribute more with taxes once again. Until then maybe you are in a position where you need to prioritise supporting your children.


Do delete this post or do more to anonymise it though....to protect yourself

Eerrh excuse me you rotten lot. The OP did not state she was on benefits, it was one of you's assumptions, you don't know her circumstances , and her identity is secure. You don't know if she has another "tax paying" job. Your comments are all based on assumptions, shame on you all !

    • Well I did say I stand to be corrected! Fair enough, their website only seemed to list three branches. Perhaps it's a franchise model?  It's known as 'agglomeration' in economics Rookie error.
    • I didn't know there was a word for that — thanks!
    • This is just normal business behaviour. That's why there are so many coffee shops in ED and shops selling gifts and interiors stuff, clothes, restaurants.  If there's more than one business of a similar type then it can benefit all of them up to a saturation point and keep up quality. It's all sounding like many think Chango has made a malicious move when it actually sounds like it's owned by one guy who has a good business that has done well.   Anyway this is all great advertising for both empanada places. Very close by is the organic grocer who sells really good value and very tasty samosas and other Indian snacks which are also worth trying.
