We have many grocery stores in our town our area we have three. Mine is the nearest one That's the reason why people here prefer to buy from my store.
.
Today in the morning I had an unprecedented number of customers. I did a very good business. The reason was that the owners of the. other two shops had functions in their families. Both shops were shut .
It was a very good Monday for all of us three grocery owners. They were enjoying the functions and I enjoyed making a good business.

@sarik1 I never wanted to do a job. Business has always been my first preference But I didn't have money then, so I joined the company

Yes, I've a small grocery store of my own. Two years ago I was a clerk in a local company. I worked there for two years. Then I started this shop. Now I earn much more than my salary as a clerk. I'm now my own boss.

@DianneN Thank you, my friend. But managing hundreds of customers is too tiring a job. Yesterday I was so exhausted that I had to skip my studies. I fell on bed and within seconds was fast asleep.

Thank you. But perhaps that's not possible. Nobody would like to cover a long distance to buy things that are available near them. However if it happens , every businessman would be glad.

Yeah, I know but you need enough money to start up a business and sometimes you might run at lost.

@augusta123 Of course, if you run a business, you need to be prepared to take risks. So far I have been in profit.

Of course, it is sad. They are poor people. I hope the government will provide them land where they may settle. Illegal encroachment has been in target

@Rimps85 Some of them are actually illegal immigrant. They don't have any proof of Indian citizenship. They change the demography and influence our elections. This can't be allowed.

It would be good for you if the other shops were closed more often

At least they are closed today. Today also the functions are going on. Today also I'm making a good business.

@Ineeddentures Thank you. I'm satisfied with what I earn. Ours is a small family - my mother, my father, my wife and myself. Just four members. We will be five by the end of this year as I expect to be a father by then.

Thank you. Compereters reduce our income and we, as their competitors, theirs. Today I had a lot of customers. I made a good business, but am completely exhausted now.
It is midnight here. It is daytime there, I think Am I wrong
