If the plants survive until Christmas you are entitled to an annual bonus of 10$, payable in food stamps and/or fast food coupons. This is a voluntary incentive offered to you. We are allowed to change these terms anytime if the economy or our financial situation should deteriorate."

Take care

It is all tongue in cheek, for heavens sake! That is why it is posted in this forum. The ad is either an insult, a joke, or the work of an ignorant.
But it is a real ad posted on craigslist.org under legal jobs in Miami. No kidding!
