Around 40 local supporters of the Edinburgh Coalition Against Poverty targetted Leith Kirkgate shops as part of national week of action against government work experience schemes.
Critics say the work experience schemes are unfair because people claiming some benefits who take part in the workplacements - which can be up to six months long - must work for free with no guarantee that there will be a job at the end of it.
