"Good morning, my better! Would you like a free sample?"
It's fairly common. Misery Children are really far down the line, and while they aren't strong, they reproduce in decent numbers, quickly, and have dexterous hands. They're smart and can learn complicated tasks, so it isn't like you can't trust them for important stuff, though. You need an accountant? Sure, get a Misery Child, why not. Need someone to hand out free samples? Yeah, Misery Child. It's where they belong.
A lot of Misery Children slaves have their veils and skirts "trimmed." Docked? Amputated? It's flesh. It hurts, severely, and never grows back right. Misery Children are born with very thin but full-length veils and skirts. As they grow they get thicker and turn opaque, and the problem is, if they're slaves, well, they cover a lot of their body. And that stops you from seeing what they're doing, or what they're hiding. And if you don't trust your slaves? Which, fair, why should you, they're a lesser race than you?
You trim them.
Misery Children are used to it. Everyone's used to the sight. It's normal.
You've become accustomed to a little army of Misery Children with shorn veils offering you free samples. There's usually a Secrets Child, a Wilderness Child, maybe, actually running the stand. These stands are just the sales-point--they belong to small restaurants that make fast food and sell their products through stands in markets. You can't buy it from the place itself actually. That's just a small little spot for making food. Probably a Secrets Child overseeing a few Misery Children cooks in there. Maybe even some Garbage Children. A Gravity Child might own it, or a Flesh Child. You'd think a Flame Child would have something... more going for them than a fast food stand.
The free sample is good. Fried dough covered in powdered sugar, filled with jelly. It's a nice treat. You buy some in a little reed bowl and take them home. You'll get some money back if you return the bowl. It's not a great bowl, not worth keeping, but it's worth giving back to get that little bit of money. It sticks in you, if you don't. And while you're there you want to buy more. That's actually fairly clever.
Might be a Flame Child running this at the top after all.

Well the veils and skirts don't get in the way of normal life too much. It's more, you know.
A slave could hide something under that. Or pretend to be working when they're napping. This is about keeping you lessers honest. It's about helping them keep themselves honest! Because as their better you're so swell and have their best interests in mind too!

yeah that's a flesh child! they're deigning to run this stand themselves today! the employee that runs it might be sick. part of being everyone's better is that you really should act like it and not be a piece of garbage that makes people work when they're vomiting. although, you know.
if you wanted to force them to that's honestly your prerogative
i'm still messing with the clothes
fleshy up there just has a buncha
layers of some
thing
on
