...when I was a working student

While lying on my bed thinking what I'm thinking that I can't think what to think and should think. XD Forgive me haha. I suddenly remember the times when I was working at the wet market as a vendor in a chicken and pork meat stall. As I shared here, some of you already know that I've been a working student. I used to accompany my aunt to her meat stall every weekend or on days that I do not have classes.

Here we go...

Types of customers I encountered when I was a working student include but are not limited to:

The "okay" type of customer. Never complain. "sure, it's okay", "give anything available". This type of customer didn't care whatever parts of chicken or meat. Sana all. XD One of the best customers we had! And I say, I'll never be this type of customer. Hahaha.

The scammer. These kinds of people are everywhere grrr. We've been encountering lots of scammers, there are times when some will pay fake money. Yes, their strategy is to join other buyers to confuse the vendor or to get a chance that their payment will not be able to thoroughly check due to busyness.

The type of customer who doesn't stock meat. They always want fresh ones so they will just buy them every time they want. I guess they are customers who live nearby or they just really don't want to stock meat even if they live far away.

The snatcher. These types of customers love to put the meat in their baskets without the knowledge of the vendor. At first, they will pretend that they are customers who will buy but when they notice that the vendor is busy with other buyers they'll immediately get a slice of meat and turn around like nothing's happened. But when they are caught they will pretend and say that "what? Oh sorry, I didn't know that it fell on my basket/bag". The award goes to... Char hahaha.

Once in a blue moon. We have these kinds of customers who show up once a month and then buy a lot. It's for their one-month supply. They use to buy different parts of chicken and pork and cuts them according to what dishes they wished to be.

Loyal buyer. To the point that they don't want to buy from other vendors. There are scenarios in which we ran out of stocks early, but customers keep coming, we have these loyal buyers that once they saw we had no display, would say "I will come back tomorrow" and they did.

Type of customer who making us as storage. We have these customers who used to leave their groceries at our stall. After every commodity she bought in different stores she will come back and ask us to add to her huge bag. The problem is that we only have a small space but of course, we can't easily say no to our customers.

Wandering customers (known as window shoppers in malls). From the word itself, they are the type of buyers who wander in different stalls. But damn, a wet market is not like malls where it is okay to touch the products. Imagine buyers pat all the products with their bare hands without gloves. It is fine if only touch what they will buy but nah they won't buy anything. Additionally, even though we initiate a conversation with them asking what they are looking for so we can help, we received no response. Aside from that, we also organized our display of chicken and pork to make it presentable then these kinds of buyers will just ruin it. Grrr.

What type(s) of customer are you?

This is just based on my opinion and observation. Feel free to add yours in the comment section! :)
