Commercial Commute

[deird_lj]

You know those guys at the footy who walk around with big trays selling people pies and drinks?
This afternoon, there was one on my train.

He wasn't actually selling pies - they were chocolate bars, and Twisties, and so forth. But he had a big elaborate tray (made of cardboard - but seriously, elaborate - it had four different levels and special holders) and he walked up and down the train asking people if they wanted to buy anything.

Trains are fun...

Was he legit from a charity like Lions or something, or just some dude out to make a buck? I suspect the latter.

But, he could make a killing on the long-haul country
trains...the number of people I see getting on with their coke bottle glued to their hand every.single.day...

Well, I didn't see any signs or posters saying what he was selling them for, so I'm thinking probably dude out to make a buck.

He was making a fairly good profit, actually...

Hmm...like begging, only you get something in return. Still, I'm pretty sure it's illegal to sell products on public transport. Hope he doesn't get caught.
