Description
Location: Aappara Sunday Market, Islamabad Pakistan

At the sunday market the vendors rent these cubicle stalls. Since the prices and quality are government controlled and no haggling is permitted. The only way to get customers to your stall is by shouting and extolling the virtues of your produce. I spotted this man sitting quietly and patiently. He wasnt "hawking" his produce. I asked him why he wasnt bothered .. He said "Son, I have worked in this market for 20 years and at the end of the day.. shouting or no shouting we all sell them same amount"
