SLC26-W6 | Street Business Diaries: Exceptional and unknown businesses
Street businesses are very vital in every street, there are some areas in my state where you could find a particular product, maybe a plastic or so, you won't find it in neighboring areas so you need to pay your way to the market before you could find it, but street business has made sure we can find some of this products in our streets.
As the last week of the season's SLC, I would love to appreciate our teacher @maxpro for the consistency and dedication he has brought to bring up these topics about street businesses.
Some of the businesses vary with streets, states and even countries, there are places you could easily find street businesses indicated in the task by our teachers, will be very difficult for people in other places to find. In my own state it is not really easy to find these points, if you could find them then it would be tough before you could take good pictures and videos of the items.

I will be reviewing a plastic shop in my street, this shop is just in the street and it is a very busy street where many businesses are ongoing and also, where many people move to and fro every minute. They're several plastic sellers in this street but I decided to visit one of them. I was just attracted to the arrangements of these plastics as they were displayed outside the shop to the street.
I crossed and went in to the shop, where I met the woman selling, she gave me a warm welcome and asked what I wanted to buy. Plastic sellers know the importance of customers and they wouldn't want to let any of them slip away.

I asked her for a 4 litres plastic rubber and she gave me a price which was higher than the expected price, I had to beat the price and she was just smiling all through. I also asked for 10 litres plastic and I needed a blue rubber because I didn't want to reveal the content and unluckily she didn't have, I wanted to leave but she convinced me that I should go with the yellow rubber that is not really revealing, I was convinced at last and I bought it.

Answering the questions In my Post
01 | What is the most in-demand exceptional product in your area? |
---|
The most demanded product in my area is food products, these products are needs and we have to get them daily, but other products are wants which we can easily do without daily.
02 | Have you ever bought anything from these stores? Show pictures + videos and show their prices. |
---|
Yes I have gotten plastics from these store and I have shared photos and also videos of when I visited the store and how I made payments for my plastics.
03 | How do you think these products impact people's lives? |
---|
How would you conceal liquid in easy to get materials? That is where plastics comes in, you could easily transport liquids and also get some tools. This products has helped customers to satisfy their want for these products and also given the sellers money as a means of interest.
04 | Do you think these exceptional businesses are making a special contribution to society |
---|
Yes it is contributing to the society as little as it can go, many unemployed people find employment by selling plastics and this will contribute to the society at large.

I respect every hustle, and I appreciate the hardwork every street worker puts in his business, sometimes they're always discouraged but the passion they have for the work keeps them going, kudos to every street worker out there.
I would love to invite my friends @davidmarkgeorge, @samuelbrilliant and @mr-peng to join
