How We Sell - The Fruit Seller

Jatinder Mohan

I do buy fruits from various places. But my favorite is the place where I have been buying from almost 10 years. He is selling the same fruits as any one else and not giving it to me at a better price. But I love the idea of spending time there with him.

As soon as I alight from my car and he sees the car stopping, he is right there with the largest smile that I have seen on any shop keepers face. He then proceeds to ask me about my wife if she is not already there with me. You see, he and my wife have a common ailment of dust allergy on which they exchange notes. Then he simply goes into a routine of picking up the fruits he knows we prefer. He will pack papayas and apples for me, kiwis for our daughter and then guavas for my wife. Off course during the mango season he also calls up on the mobile to let us know when our favorite langdas and dashahries are in.

He will also open up oranges for us to savor until the rest of the fruits are packed, cut a mango or get us to check on leechies.

I love shopping there.
