"The store doesn't make much profit, but the climbers appreciate it. So we feel that our work is meaningful," said one employee. With limited space, the store can only accommodate one person. This employee is also responsible for restocking goods every morning.
"The employees here must have very toned bodies climbing up and down this workplace every day," commented one Weibo user.
"At first, new employees are quite scared to work here but they quickly get used to it. The only problem is using the toilet. It's tiring to climb down and up just to go to the toilet so we try not to drink too much water."
