Alicia was fairly revolted at lunchtime today when she noticed the way one of those colonial-garbed tour guides interacted with the nut guy outside the State Street T stop:
... One of the guides dips his hand into the copper bowl that holds the roasted nuts, scoops out a handful and keeps on walking. The vendor didn't even blink an eye, which made me think that this is a reoccuring event. If you're friends with the nut guy, do you get a complimentary handful of nuts each time you pass by?
When you're buying food off the street, I realize that you're sacrificing a bit of cleanliness; however, this is pretty disgusting. ...

Clearly, the guide is providing the shop keeper with plenty of customers, there for he is entitled for his free nuts.
This reminds me of people who taste the olives in the shop (about 15 of them) before they decide to buy).
Regarding the words clean and food, they usually do not have anything in common, even when you make food at your own kitchen, the products had suffered severe conditions until they got to your sparkling kitchen table. =)
