There are not many warehouse sales in Penang. However I am always hearing warehouse sales in KL. Funny when I was staying in KL, I never heard of any warehouse promo. Well a couple of my friends had told me about warehouse toys sale and the toys were on offer 50% discount. The famous Lego was also thrown out as offers. If I were there, I will grab the wholesale lots of Legos.

Maybe I can resale it again in Ebay . It will be a good side income for me. Well you can start a small business by getting wholesale lots of merchandise with low price and sell it online stores. I have a friend who does that very successfully.

Billing Me Ahead

Unbelievable! I received two notice of payment that is due in the future. One is due in end Aug and the other in Oct. Are the businesses so bad that they need the customers to pay ahead of time?

This is not just one month ahead but 3 months ahead. If they give me a discount, maybe I think of paying ahead. Otherwise, I probably pay the week before it is due. Yeah, give me some incentive to close the deal for you. Be creative and not just shove the invoice to me.

Well I guess, everyone is only thinking about their own business, their own cash flow and their own profit. When times are bad, every business man turns on their survivor mode.

D.I.Y Checkout

When I was in US shopping at Walmart, I saw a few D.I.Y checkout stations. These stations have a barcode scanner for you to scan through your purchases and you can pay by swiping your credit card. It is so convenient. This system can only work if customers are honest. They do have camera at the station to ensure customer go through every single purchases.

However, if you are stuck due to missing label, you can approach a supervisor to help you. This system certainly helps to reduce wait time. I kind of like it and has tried it myself.

If you run a retail business and would like to reduce the number of staffs, maybe you can consider D.I.Y checkout stations. Go browse through PosGuys.com for a POS solution you need.
