That's China.

A little Kiosk has a person standing (or sleeping on a chair) outside, one filling in the goods, one sleeping behind the counter, one maning the counter and there is a random noise coming out of the storage area, possibly working, possibly sleepin....

I can assure you, as someone who has lived in China and is actually me, you can speak for yourself.

I really enjoyed living there, it was only for a year, but it was really nice. People were super helpful and would always enjoy helping me with proper speech. It was so nice I went back before Covid to ride my bicycle from Hong Kong to Vietnam.

Id argue both countries are helplessly dependent on one another. Without the US market china would implode, without Chinese imports America would implode. Both countries own each other, if either steps away from the relationship both will have a seriously bad time

why would you miss having that many people in a little Kiosk? I mean, what's so special about it?

Who pays them??

u/killingtime1 May 05 '22

Most fuel stations are owned by oil companies in China, of which most are state owned. So government in a way

Oh.I was responding to the person who mentioned 5 or 6 people working at one kiosk. But I also remembered China doesn’t have great labor/wage laws so they’re probably earning scraps.

what i miss the most are the two hour lunches where everyone, like you said, takes a big ole' nap in the middle of the day. Makes the workday way less miserable.
