Was at a nearby " town" today----searching for something that I didn't find 😓----- and there was a huge commotion on a street corner.
While I was queuing outside the agro-vet, I inquired about the ruckus, naturally.
What could warrant dozens and dozens of people to queue up under the sun----- and dang, is it hot !!-----, 2 private security guards and a bunch of PN ?
Cheap chicken of course !!!!!
125 pesos for a 6-8lb chicken ( per my guess-o-meter 😁 ).
That's AT LEAST half-price compared to a pollera.
Speaking with the " supervisor", they cannot afford to keep feeding.the chicken at the " factory". They usually deliver exclusively polleras, but they are apparently buying 50% less, if not more.
So literally getting rid of the chickens by discounting them.
Of course I jumped on the occasion 🤣🤣, only downside---- especially if you think chicken grows on trees and are picked already packed in plastic 😝 ---- is that they are alive......
At 125 pesos, say 2 bucks, one can also gain some brownie points by gifting a couple to family/friends/neighbours who may be in need during these strange times.
I actually thought of dr1 while i was there, observing Life. It was something like " the DR is not a 3d world country because some people drive a Porsche or a Rolls, or whatever "..........i witnessed a guy in a suit in a brand new lexus SUV stuffing live chickens in the backseat 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 .
Also security needed to sell chickens on the street, albeit a couple of thousand, really ???
The DR may not be a 3d world country ( or it may be--- i don't really care either way ) but it ain't Monaco or Courchevel yet !!!!!
