You buy strawberries on sidewalk corners

Sometimes I will be driving (ok not literally me cause I dont have a license but you get the picture) and as I approach a intersection I notice a hispanic man or woman(usually man) at a sidewalk corner selling strawberries or cherries. Have you ever wondered…Where the hell do these strawberries come from?

Cause these strawberries are pretty legit. They are packaged nicely in a container and not shoved in some ghetto ziplock baggie. Do these men just take these strawberries from the farmer when they work for him? Like when picking strawberries they say “One for him…one for me…one for him…etc..” Or do they simply grow them in their back yards and somehow get hold of nice boxes that say “strawberry?”

I have never actually bought anything from these hard workers and I should since they are cheaper than the local safeway. But unlike safeway I have to wonder…is this actually safe? If I get some kind of food poisoning I cant really do anything cause the next day he might be gone. Unlike my local safeway, I can always sue them.Good thing I have close friends who are lawyers. haha

But seriously do all of these guys work together at the same place? I wonder if they have a map of the city and each of them claims a corner or a parking lot, and at the end of the day they come together and calculate which areas make the most profit. A whole private underground networking on strawberries.

I wonder where unsold strawberries go. Hell I know if I were selling strawberries I would do it costco style and have like a little booth with whip cream. Give samples as people pass by. I can say ” Sample sample 7 dollars for a pack.” Haha Maybe if I am lucky my profits will increase and I will have less leftover strawberries. Or my plan can backfire in which I eat most of the strawberries and no one buys anything, leaving me broke and fat.

Our world is full of mysteries. Maybe next time I see a man selling strawberries on a intersection corner I will ask him. “Where did you get the strawberries?” Hopefully he will answer truthfully.
