THE PURE WATER SELLER: RESPECT HIS/HER HUSTLE


#CalabarChartSupport
.
Today , I Interviewed 3 pure water sellers and according to them: sometimes, it takes about 6 hours to sell 40 sachets of water which amounts to a total of (N400).
From the (N400), the profit is only about (N50) as the pure water sellers have to pay the wholesalers their money back as well as cover the price for ice block which was used to cool the water.
.
The long and short of it is that some of them make only (N200 to N300) in 6 hours of hustling under the hot sun...(Based on the market structure that day), risking their lives on express roads.
.
As if that isn't bad enough, when passengers and drivers reach the traffic stops, they prefer to dash  (N200), (N500)  or even (N1000) to beggars and fake sufferers who sometimes make about (N5,000) a day doing nothing but begging, leaving them richer, luckier and safer than the pure water sellers who are young entrepreneurs serving the larger community with their trade, and trying to make ends meet.
.
So when next you are at a traffic stop, please:
.
1. Dash (tip) the pure water seller instead
2. Buy pure water to patronise them and if the change is N290, or even N490 you can leave it with them)
3. Say something nice to them. Greet them, encourage them.
4. Slow down, don't knock them down.
5. Even if you wont buy the pure water, if they ask you to buy, rather than ignoring them and facing front as if they are not humans, you can look at them, smile and say "Thank you"
