GST (2)

We were ready for GST until the very last day of March. My cash register vendor came to give us a surprise. We couldn't use the excluded price of products for the GST as supposedly permitted in the first place. He had to reset the system to cater for GST with inclusive price.

Because of that, we couldn't do business for today. We closed the shop and worked within to change the price tag to include the GST.

My people still needed to refer the GST product list.

They worked together to change the price tag.

Some sales promoters even came to help.

It took us the whole day to almost get it done. Business can be carried out starting tomorrow. Hope everything goes on smoothly..

      Thanks Rose but I suppose starting today, the sales will be lesser as we had pre-GST craze few days ago.

    I guess it's better to have the GST included in the price rather than to charge it separately with the total, furthermore some items are GST exempted.. also bcos customers at shops like yours are used to pay as per the price tags, so if you are showing the before GST price, it will cause confusion.. good to have them included beforehand instead :)

    I hope all will be ironed out and running smoothly at your place. Having to close for one day is a loss of business!

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
