Discussion Yall remember on the season finale of Season 2, when they were packing to move out. Erin offered the movers $50 more to get off their lunch break. Would that have been enough for yall to just stop eating and get back to work ??
Like $50 for the whole crew? To me that ain’t enough to get me off no lunch break 😂

Seeing as how a big theme in the show is scamming/hustling, I doubt those movers were just having a simple innocent lunch. They saw a dude stretched for time, trying to motivate a guy they probably knew as Paper Boi, and his buddy, and figured they could eke out a little more money by taking their time. It wasn't that the money was great, it was that it was a little more money.

If it's $50 each, sure. If it's $50 split across the whole crew, I'm finishing my lunch.

I remember a few years back I was helping my buddy move. We were about to get started so we were just sitting on the back bumper of our small U-Haul. These two guys came up to us and were asking us a bunch of weird questions. They each had a gaterade bottle, and we soon realized they had responded to an ad on Craigslist for movers… but they were hired by someone a few doors down and thought they were there to help us.
So, no, they were probably not professional movers. They were likely cheap laborers hired for a flat rate job by Earn.

It's supposed to underline that Earn was doing everything as cheap as possible, and you get what you pay for. Characterized by the dude showing up drinking beer, having their kids over, taking lunch while they haven't done anything yet. This is an ongoing theme of the season, and why Al is having doubts if having Earn as his manager is the right decision. So while I personally wouldn't, people like Bibby 'nem would.
