Christmas shopping picks up in Tobago
Two days before Christmas Day, shopping in Tobago intensified.
But businessmen observed that unlike previous years, there was not a continuous flow of customers throughout the day.
“People are shopping. It kinda busy up a bit, but there are high and low periods,” a manager at Cost Cutters Supermarket told Newsday.
She said this has been the case since the start of the Christmas season.
“I guess, maybe, is how people getting their money or they are shopping to their convenience whenever they get the time.
“So, like if somebody get the time to run away from work they will come and make their groceries. But you have who will come during the night when the pace slow down. Like people choosing the times when to come.”
