We change for a day or two. Only three customers today who just looked around the corner. If no pay day, there's not much to spend.
Perhaps they just need a talk and asking for C is a badopening sentence...
This BOOMING vote is yours and well deserved!

Wow, tell me, do you also feel in your country how money is circulating less and less? I think certain weeks of the month are slower than during payday.
Well, in the case of my clients, who are always the same, it's more a kind of nonconformity. They even break all the economic laws I studied at university. They always want the most expensive product, even when there's a similar, cheaper option. And let me clarify that it's not that they have money to spare, on the contrary, it's the poorest area of the country, but they want premium brands.
Thanks a lot for your support 😊 I hope now you will have a great time at house!
Yes, I’ve noticed some differences in my spending depending on the time of the month. That’s the same for me too. As soon as I’ve been paid, I pay all my fixed bills, such as rent, gas and electricity, insurance and so on. After that, I put a bit aside for unexpected expenses and for public holidays, and if there’s anything left over, that goes towards food. When the month is over and I’m due to get my salary again, and there’s still a little bit left, I might spend it on something else: clothes I never really buy, or shoes I rarely buy, or something else.
I think most Dutch people do it this way; foreigners are more likely to spend it on food – lots and lots of food – and only pay their fixed bills as a last resort, which means debts can mount up quickly.
The average Dutch person no longer attaches much importance to brands; those days are long gone. That’s also something foreigners might still do, and by foreigners I mean immigrants; the rest couldn’t care less, because by now we all know that everything comes from China, regardless of the brand on it. 🤣🤣🤣
So how do people pay for things here when they don’t actually have any money to spend but still want the most expensive of the expensive? I’ll tell you that loads of expensive brands also produce far too much, and it’s then simply sold as a own-brand product by some company or small supermarket. Exactly the same product, just in different packaging.
People love to be taken for a ride. Of course, there are differences in quality here and there, but a lot also depends on how you look after it yourself.
You'd be surprised how it is in my country; first, people spend money on beer and cigarettes, and if there's anything left over, food for the children. Of course, there's never enough for the bills, and they end up cutting off the service.
My neighbors across the street have their electricity cut off every couple of months, and as soon as the workers leave, they reconnect it. But they do have cars, and they only buy the most expensive brands.
Sounds like the immigrants we have and somehow I envy the fact they go for food first and whatever they like. Not that I would like the stress of being cut off. With us you are registrated in a national databank for defaulters, also everyone with a loan or debts are in it. Buying a phone through instalments included. Your data will be saved for five years after you paid off your debts. This means you can have a hard time to get credit somewhere, a loan or whatever you need.
By the way, here many, if not nearly everyone has loans, debts from study, to couch, to house, car, phone, bike, kitchen, vacation you name it. They will pay back + interest till they die.
Hehe, it's very strange how people have different priorities depending on the culture. I always think that if my country had winters like in the northern hemisphere, not even half the population would make it to the following spring. 😂
