Street vendors pack the pavement in Chaguanas. - Marvin Hamilton
BUSINESS owners in Chaguanas have reported a decrease in sales for this year s Christmas. They say it is the worst they have ever experienced.
The main streets were buzzing with people, but many of them were not buying.
Business owners said it was the first time they had to beg customers to buy items.
“I am still in shock. We expected sales to be slow but definitely not this slow,” said worker Kazim Ali at Amaaz Variety Store.
He said he has been at the store for over ten years.
