Sari-Sari Store Owner Struggles as Stock Runs Low
A sari-sari store owner is feeling deeply discouraged as her store’s stock runs low, leaving her with a tough choice.
Recently, Almiñana Em, a Facebook user and a sari-sari store owner, shared photos of her almost empty store. The post quickly went viral on social media and garnered various reactions from online users.
In the photos, it can be seen that the store’s shelves are nearly deplete. The products that remain are not only few but also appear to be disorganized. The situation is especially disheartening because this store is crucial for the owner’s daily expenses.
Em shared that she invested P11,000 to start the store, and now feels that her investment is rapidly diminishing. She’s struggling with whether she should continue investing time and money into her store or simply let it go.
The situation has been particularly tough for her as she has also been dealing with personal challenges. She had to care for her father until he passed away and then moved back with her partner.
Now, with no job for her partner and additional expenses for her baby, she is finding it hard to keep the store running.
Em’s post shows her frustration and sadness as she tries to keep her business alive amidst these difficulties. She is left feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what steps to take next.
