I've seen this at every Home Depot and Lowe's that I have ever been to. There are always day laborers looking for work.

I wonder if it's regional

I've lived and traveled all over the Pacific Northwest and been to many hardware stores throughout, and never seen it myself.

Not sure about lately, but ten years ago the Home Depot on Aurora in Seattle always had a group of guys hanging out near the entrance.
