These vendors are all probably tired. Many of them sold at another market the day before (Saturday), and arrived at the other market late Friday night or early Saturday morning, passing the night in their produce trucks. They come from all over the country, bringing the products that their particular zone has in season (pineapples from Gaupiles, oranges from San Carlos, strawberries from someplace else) That means that by this time Sunday, they have passed two nights in the cabs of old produce trucks or in the back of the trucks, had few bathing opportunities, and done a heck of a lot of work.
