=== Free Tours ===

It's possible to easily get onto the tour for free, because Josh has little way of enforcing payment aside from making a scene in the streets. TTS donations on Mr. Based's streams have confirmed that Josh (unsuprisingly) hates the idea of people not paying to attend the tour.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1ez0bn4/free_tour_tomorrow_mr_based_damage_control_mode/</ref>

== Legal Status ==

In New York City, operating paid guided tours without proper licensing is illegal. The city's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) requires all commercial tour guides to obtain a Sightseeing Guide license, which mandates passing an exam on NYC history and landmarks and paying a fee.<ref>https://www.nyc.gov/site/dca/businesses/license-checklist-sightseeing-guide.page</ref> Joshua's ''World of T-Shirts Experience'' is in direct violation of this order, but so are hundreds, if not thousands of other guided tours. As such, while Josh's tour business is ~~techincally~~ illegal, the city ~~won't~~ enforce it.

== Waiver ==

In an attempt to cover himself legally, Josh created a "liability waiver" (which he possibly types out every single time<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1j6yydi/is_josh_typing_every_single_waiver_over_and_over/</ref>), covering inherent risks of navigating the streets of New York such as "rat bites" and "community related violence".<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1j08ndn/tour/</ref> It's unlikely that this waiver would even hold up in any legal situation.
