A cafe is different from a market stall in that it is probably a prudent move to open 6 days a week and thus is worth paying the extra staff required.
A market trader (probably working alone) has to have a day to re-stock the stall and also have a day off. In order to cover staffing requirements for 6 day trading you actually need to employ two extra people in order to cover breaks, as laid down by the Working Time Directive.
If you're self-employed you can work what you like without a break but most employees don't feel the same way.
