Unexpected Source of Income by Kids in Parking Areas
Just came back from a parking lot for a quick bike ride. I temporarily relieved a fishball vendor and sold 20php in 2 minutes. Not bad, right? While waiting, a sampaguita kid / parking asst is around. I was shocked to know they net 700php just by hanging out in parking areas! Plus 90% gain…
