trending
if you have a sari-sari store, you will definitely notice some trending.
take for example last week. last week, people were parched (and i mean very, very parched) for alcoholic beverages. i think our resident alcoholics consumed about three cases of red horse jumbo and a case of 500s for two nights straight. then there were those who also bought matador. no, not the solo ones, but the litros and the long necks!
alcoholic beverages are a great way to boost your little store’s income, and trust me when i say that, when they buy, they really buy a lot!
the other week, people were looking for toothpaste, and i think we sold four sachets of toothpaste that time. four! that’s huge when toothpaste is not something that people always buy in sari-sari stores.
then there was also that day when people had the craving for instant pancit canton and instant mami. believe me, we ran out of instants and people were still looking for them.
come the weekends, i always prepare our stock of detergents and fabric softeners ‘coz it is expected that lots of ‘em are going to be doing their laundries.
there was one day though that placed a smile on my face…and lala’s, too, for that matter…there was a day when there were a lot of BLEEDERS roaming francia. hahahahahahaha!!! and they all wanted sanitary napkins. ahahahaha!
and today, well, they all wanted sugar, and i think we have already sold two kilos of them na.
but there is one item though that a large group of people are always looking for.
yep, you guessed it right, mate! yosi!
bad as it may seem, but i think yosi will never go outa of style. as long as there are smokers and as long as these smokers are addicted to cigs, the cig industry can always expect a large market base, including, of course, me.
