Last Sunday, me and my wife accompanied my brother in law in the airport. In here, we look for some canteen since we haven't eaten breakfast. We ask the employee there where could find canteen with affordable price. The employee told us that there is no canteen there but there are restaurants. We said that we cannot afford the high prices of the food in the resto. Then I was surprised when suddenly this employee point us to one of the toilet in the vicinity and told us that there is a lady inside who sells breaksfast (burgers, biscuits, coffee and other stuff). It made me think, will we buy from her? #
How about you? will your buy from her?

If i'm really hungry, yes i will. IF we have no choice, we have to do the obvious right? NO matter how unhygienic her food might be, at least i settle my hunger first. The question is, does the lady actually sell her breakfast inside the toilet or just within the vicinity? That's an entire thing altogether. You ought to check it out and who knows things might not be as bad as it seems? After all she's trying to make a living and i'm sure she knows the proper hygiene too.

Well, if i am really on a tight budget, i will go to the woman. I will judge from her stuff, if i will buy or not. And of course i will judge if the toilet is super clean.
Maybe she's the one supplying those airport employees, because she sells cheaper foods, but decent and clean ones. Or else she wouldn't be patronized by the employees.
.
They hide to sell because it is prohibited.
They tell you, it is to augment their income.
But when you try to ask their salary, it is already a decent one.

Selling food from a toilet? Are you sure you were not being made fun of? I am not surprised that we can find burgers, biscuits, coffee etc in a toilet (you know what I mean)but that is not food in the strictest sense. But if that really is real food but was sold from a toilet, I don't think I would buy for hygienic reasons. Knowing the high price of the food in most airport eateries, I will usually eat or buy a take-away before I go. If I must eat in airport, I will usually order the cheapest food available there.

yes I would buy the stuff from her but only if I have no other option. If I have time enough to go out of the airport and have something then I will surely prefer that but if not I would not hesitate in taking the stuff she is selling.

I don't think I would. I know employees buy from her so I guess the food is a bit safe to eat but I'm not really a risk-taker when it comes to my stomach :) Nowadays it seems that my health is not at its best. I easily get an upset stomach on street food, and I consider what this lady sells somewhat related to street foods. But 10 years ago I would've probably bought from her. Back then, I wasn't squirmy about food. I even like eating at those small eateries beside the road. Sometimes their food is more tasty than restaurant food. Maybe age has tempered me a bit
