I asked my regular pork seller in the wet market.
He told me that he closes his stall around 12 noon. Go home and sleep by 3 pm. Wakes up at 9 pm and goes to the stall by 12 mid-night to prepare for the next day. Beween 12 midnight to 6 am, he receives delivery, chops the whole carcasses, separate the types of cuts, store them nicely in the fridge, etc etc. Customers buy from 6 am onwards. He closes the stall around 12 noon and starts the cycle again.
You can guess how much time he spends with his wife and children.
And how much he earns? You can guess. But not many customers during weekdays. More customers during weekends.
The reality is, making a living is not a bed of roses if you do not have a high-paying job.
Let's not make life difficult to the poor blue-collar workers and small businessmen. Live and let live.
