If the ban mien is good, Singaporeans will travel to the end of this island to try it for at least once. Distance is not problem..

From comments by many people who enjoy eating good and tasty food, they will be willing to travel the distance, no matter where is it on this tiny island, just to have a bite of the food.....

The food vendor needs to factor in rental of the stall, cost of utilities and assistants salary before any profit can be assured....
This thread would have faded into oblivion long ago if it had not been repeatedly put on the front burner by someone for only god knows why. Maybe our bleeding-heart liberal feels a deep sympathy for this software engineer-turned-ban mian hawker and wants others to feel the same in addition to wanting to excite comment.
When you come to think of it, it is not unusual for erstwhile high-fliers to downgrade to jobs with low pay and low prestige in these coronavirus-ravaged times. We have read of news and personal accounts about people falling on hard times after losing their jobs. Many previously holding high-paying jobs have joined the gig economy and took on jobs such as PH driver, food deliverer, supermarket packer, frontline worker, safe-distancing ambassador, to name just a few.
From airplane hostess to seedy hostess. After joining the ranks of the unemployed, some high-flying SIA girls, generally regarded as an emblem of our national airline, reportedly became KTV hostesses who accompany male customers, a job some consider beneath them. In comparison, hawkering is deemed a decent profession, and this Myanmar-turned-S'porean is just trying to earn an honest living. You never know - the business of this millennial hawker could very well become brisk and lucrative, if the location is ideal and the dishes whipped up by her are delicious and nutritious

This NUS uni grad entered the hawker trade after being made redundant from her job as an application engineer in a Jap semiconductor company. Even though she had two offers after being laid off, she opted to take the plunge from the corporate world into the food business, selling a fascinating mix of S'pore-styled ban mian and Myanmar dishes. Having a passion for cooking flavourful meals to whet appetites was the clincher.
She must have initially thought that being an entrepreneur, employer and biz owner was the best thing since sliced bread, which is how you feel too. She hadn't bargained for a nightmarish start to her business which was reported to be down 40% on weekdays and 30% on weekends since dine-in restrictions kicked in in July. With overheads that are needed to keep her business operating, such as her stall assistants' salaries, rent and utilities, the enterprising hawker certainly had a lot of worries. So much so that she sontemplated calling it quits after making a loss the first month.
One of my buddies is a successful businessman who has been operating a metal fabrication factory for years. He has dozens of workers, local and foreigner, on his company payroll. Despite his success, he confided to me prior to the current pandemic that if he were to relive his life, he would rather be a salaryman without a care in the world after office hours. As owner of a one-man business, he has endless worries like operating expenses, the flow of projects to keep his business going, work and staff problems and other nitty-gritty of running the business. With these cares constantly weighing him down, he's gone very grey. Work-related problems never cease to bug him, even in his sleep. There's a Chinese saying: 你看我好，我看你好，其实家家都有本难念的经。Loosely translated, it means "You see me good (doing well), I also see you good. We each have our own difficulties."

He/she can be brutal, where if business no good, just chop people to survive and hack care about whether those people got family to feed. At most, go bankrupt (before that part all the money under someone's name)..

Some bosses care about their employees and worried about how they can feed their family if they are chopped, these are the bosses who will have additional pressure apart from the business problem..
1. I have served the nation in a combat unit for 2.5 + 10 years. I had fulfilled my duty as a citizen, but has the country do it's part for me?
2. I don't know where the threat of CCP is, but I know the threat of CECA is already at my doorsteps
3. I had been called a CCP, JHK, Pinoy, but they never called me a CECA..
