Life as an Illegal Sidewalk Vendor at UN Plaza, SF

I tried selling my own shit a couple of times when I needed to get high (or risk getting sick) and was penniless; even while working a full-time job where I made $24 an hour. The old Asian ladies loved to buy half-priced cigarettes from me that I would buy with gift cards from family members who didn’t trust me with any other funds.
