Fruitsellers

They are the poorer lot. They don’t have a permanent place of their own. If today they sit in the front of a saree store, tomorrow the place of hawking may as well be adjacent to the bookbinding shop. They are rarely part of unionized hawkers, and so they lack collective bargaining power.

They however bring the fresh stuff everyday. And given that the city goers prefer them that way, the fruitsellers would usually have their stock sold out before the end of the day.

Just goes to show how a big city can cater to the vast multitude poor vendors who can hope to earn no more than the minimum to keep their hearth burning.
