STREET “IN” EQUALITY?

Streets are the perfect examples of how all of us are equal when we walk on the same roads, purchase from the same vendors and bargain with the same potential and expectations. It is our streets where there is no discrimination, no hatred and all are equally struggling hard in their own fields to get good outcomes. They are not just some random roadways which take us to our destination, along with their potential to show us the way to our destination, they also show us the way to equality and harmony. It is interesting to observe how various fruit vendors, grocery sellers, street food vendors and many more like that sit on the footpaths and sell things to every customer with the same smile and gentle behaviour and how everyone, be it someone rich or poor, black or white, male or female, purchase from the same vendors and go back home happily bragging about the fresh vegetables or fruits they purchased in much less price. 

Therefore, when there is no inequality in purchasing food from them, why is there inequality in eating with those whom you purchased it from?
