Introductiom
Warm greetings friends, I am
@dave-hanny and I am delighted to participate in the Engagement Challenge Season4week1, thanks to the steemit team for doing amazingly beautifully to see the platform in a perfect state. Thanks to this amazing community for bringing an interesting topic which is to: Review Traditional Retail Shopping, to see how retailers are also been affected by the convid-19 pandemic.
Now, every individual has his or her taste when it comes to a transaction that involves buying and selling of goods and services. Traditional retailers are doing very well despite the inconveniences of selling their things under umbrellas and also endure under the sun and rain to meet the needs of their people.
Traditional retailers are those who reach out to the final consumers I.e without the retailers, the consumers would have to transport to the wholesalers themselves as far as where they are to buy goods and which would cost a lot of expenses. These retailers are always there to sell to the final consumers which is a plus for them because they make sure the final consumers get any type of goods available at the appropriate time.
Description of how happy I am transacting with the traditional retailer.

I am the only daughter in my family and I help my mother to buy things from the market, especially foodstuff, In my humble town, Akwanga, Nasarawa State, Nigeria. The traditional retailers are doing great in their businesses and they relate in humility with their customers or their buyers, you would never go to Akwanga market and lack what to buy if it is something an individual would need to buy from a traditional retailer.

Reasons why I enjoy shopping at traditional retail
One of the reasons I enjoy shopping at traditional retail is the fact that they are found almost everywhere.
Another, is how close a traditional retailer is to the final consumers.
Traditional retailers are always welcoming that is, they give a smiling face and also good attention as you buy from them.
There can be chances of having a conversation between the seller and the buyer but in shopping malls or shop rites, such is hardly done and that is what makes traditional retail shopping a beautiful one.
Their goods are always cheap and affordable.
In conclusion, I am glad to have you all on my blog, I want to believe you enjoyed reading my post. At this point, I want to invite
@josepha,
@simonnwigwe,
@ishayachris, and
@yakspeace to take part in this amazing contest.
I often see traditional retail markets where I live, but this is the first time I've seen a traditional retail market that sells items by plate and can I know how many kilos and usually how much?
I can see that this traditional market sells good quality goods, and that's one of the reasons why many people from all walks of life come to your traditional retail place Akwanga.
Good luck to you dear
👍
Thank you somuch friend, for your time and effort of commenting and supporting my article, indeed foodstuff in Akwanga market are cheap and affordable. Thanks once more dear and ibeish you the very best of the contest.

@dave-hanny, It's true a friendly face and good service is the beauty of buying from a minority dealer.
Although for them it is an exhausting job since they have to get up very early in the morning and spend the whole day in rain or shine transporting their merchandise.
Akwanga market is a popular market where I see warm merchandise, very fresh and prices affordable to the public.
A good place to shop for food and even make new friends.
I say goodbye wishing you success in the contest.

I must, I’ve learned the most from the “true” traditional shopping from the post I have read from your country over the last few months.
It is not something that I am familiar with in South Africa.
A great post!
