When asked whether or not there were officials who ordered parcels at his kiosk, Tini said there had not been any so far. Never mind officials, he said, merchandise enthusiasts were far less than in previous years.

To us, Tini also told us that parcel sales ahead of Christmas and New Year tend to be sluggish. Being able to sell five parcels a day is already profitable. He is also confused, why this year there are fewer parcel enthusiasts, even though at the Christmas and New Year 2018, Tini was able to reap quite a lot of profit.

"This year for Christmas New Year it's really quiet, we've only been selling for two days. Nothing else. I don't know why," said Tini, adding that she was lucky that she already had regular customers who came to her kiosk.

Indeed, when we observe it, one of the parcels expiration date is still long. Around May 2020. "We'll just keep customer satisfaction. If it's not selling but it's about to expire, just eat it by yourself. Losing, but yes, than customers are disappointed. For ceramics, it's safe, it doesn't expire," he concluded with a smile. .
