On payday, we stood in line for our pay envelopes containing cash.

Police found pay envelopes with the gang’s stamp and a legend that read: “Relatives should be prepared to protest when asked to do so.”

Gratuities from customers are supposed to make up the difference, but if tips are scarce, the employer is legally obliged to top up their pay envelopes to the standard minimum.

The postmaster would argue, reasonably, he’s got no other way to support his family—his pay envelope arrives empty each week, with an official printed statement about emergency economic measures.

We want these things so much that we may even be willing to take home a thinner pay envelope to get them.
