Regards,
It was a chilly morning in February with a light dusting of snow on the ground. The Thrift store owner had just unlocked the shop door ready for the day’s customers to arrive. The night before she had spent several hours cleaning the isles, straightening up her merchandise, making sure her pricing was up to date and above all, made sure the 20% OFF sign was prominently displayed in the shop window. It didn’t take long for customers to appear and before long the store was buzzing with shoppers. She poured herself a fresh cup of Mocha-Pocha-Choca-Cinnamon Double Twist Swirl French Coffee and settled in behind the cash register ready and waiting for the first sale of the day. Hours passed, customers came and went, everybody was in a good mood saying “hello”, “good morning”, “have a nice day” but nobody was buying anything. As the day wore on she became frustrated but made an effort not to let is show. Finally, just before closing time a shopper brought several items to the counter ready to check out. She placed her things down, folded her hands and looked the shop owner right in the eye and said, “I really need these things but I only have half of what they cost, would you consider taking 50% off instead of the 20% displayed in the store window, otherwise my children will have nothing to wear to school tomorrow?” The shop owner was a little confused thinking, well what had they worn to school today but didn’t ask. She smiled politely and said, “why sure, I would be happy to give you a 50% discount since it looks like you are going to be my only customer today and I would rather have one sale then none.”
As the happy buyer left the shop the day came to an end and the owner closed and locked the door … she picked up her half cup of now cold Mocha-Pocha-Choca-Cinnamon Double Twist Swirl French Coffee and sighed thinking, “well, tomorrow is another day … hopefully sales will be better.”
Oh it has been sooooooooooooo sloooooooooooooooooooow.
I just put a bunch of stuff on Amazon and I am not a fan of Amazon.
I was begining to wonder if anyone was still using Ebay.
I don't see how snow would affect sales. People are sitting at home doing nothing.
