If today you are going to buy a TV it is motive, you really need it. you are going to buy it.
Milk tea people see the store h have one. Seasons is not a big influence. do not change a lot.
Weather determines if we sell a lot or not.
Perfect conditions are festivals, national holidays and week ends. So I always week days here to have English class because most working days are not very busy. at week end and national holidays I work.
