Owners of clothing shops and eateries in Ho Chi Minh City are sending employees onto the streets to solicit and implore passers-by to stop, causing congestion and posing danger to commuters.

When passers-by refuse their services, some even hurl rude and offensive insults.

The scene is often seen on multiple streets in the city between 5:00 pm and 10:00 pm.

On Hau Giang Street in District 6, clothing stores compete by sending employees onto the street to scramble for customers in the evening.

These employees make passers-by swerve as they suddenly dart out to solicit the potential customers.

Some even block the paths of pedestrians, causing inconvenience and posing risks to themselves.

The same scene can be observed on Ton Duc Thang Street in District 1.

Around 5:00 pm, staff from nearby eateries occupy part of the road to attract customers.

They wave their hands and shout loudly to draw the attention of passers-by.

Along a section of the street near Bach Dang Wharf, many street vendors selling fried fish balls and drinks wave menus to attract customers, obstructing traffic for vehicles.

The situation is even more challenging on smaller streets like Ha Ton Quyen Street in District 11.

Each eatery has deployed two to three employees to the street to solicit customers, leaving only a narrow passage for vehicles to navigate through.

The employees even tug on the motorbikes of drivers to urge them to stop.

If commuters refuse to enter their eateries, some employees respond with irritation, using foul language directed at them.
