Setting up my home office. Went TPY Courts 10 mins before opening hours, there was already a short queue. It was hot to stand in queue, so I waited nearby. By 11, the queue has built up to more than 10, so I gave up. Walked to nearby furniture shop, and saw 2 folder tables on display outside the shop. One small round one, one big square one. The owner (uncle) was in his shop, busy screwing (some furniture) away. He quoted me $48 and $68 respectively. I called WK to come help me select and carry home. Then uncle brought out a small rectangular one. Then I realized that he was screwing this table in his shop. He told me he sold 10 such tables yesterday, then he continued screwing somemore- the wooden tops to the metal legs. We bought the rectangular one ($48 also). By the time we left, he has finished another one..
I wonder how much lost revenue (shop closure) he can cover from selling folderable tables..
I think I will be posting some more about working from home, so I shall call this post “part one”
