The major intersections of the largest avenues in the country are the workplaces for hundreds of men and women, and not a few children. The workplace might be formal, as in the case of an ice-cream vendor or newspaper salesperson. It might also be informal, as in the case of the different types of salespeople that provide everything from cell-phone accessories to power tools at the stoplights. A take-home pay of about RD$200 a day is sufficient to raise children and get by on, says the light research conducted by the reporters from El Caribe. On any given day in Santo Domingo at the corner of Abraham Lincoln and 27 de Febrero, there are 12 salespeople conducting business, and at the corner of Winston Churchill there are approximately 15. The use of bargaining or ?el regateo? in colloquial Dominican-speak, is absolutely necessary. According to Jovanny Rosario, one of the vendors of mobile phone accessories, the asking price depends on the vehicle you are driving, and his profit can vary from RD$50 to RD$20 per sale.
