Morning guys.
Right, we've got absolutely tons of stock in again.
Sammy's got a car full I believe.
I've got a car full to come in.
And we need more customers.
Now we don't need more customers because we owe more money.
We need more customers to keep the volume of stock down.
Okay, because we're getting triple the donations we were getting now last year.
Triple, maybe even quadruple by the end of next week.
So look, I mean look, it's all amazingly lovely stuff.
Look, right?
Now, the more customers I get, the more the stock level goes down, the more I can take in, right, the cheaper I can do it for.
So it's a win-win situation.
So can you tell everybody about our shops please?
Because there's still people that don't even know anything about us, don't even know we exist.
Can you tell them we do over 60s, 10% discount every day, every item, everything?
Now we're always going to have things that are going to be more expensive.
For example, Daniel sold two items this morning, one of them was £30.
He sold one item for £30.
But anything we've got, the stock price, would be in the Blackwood shop.
Okay, we've been doing ourselves and our charity pending, and the mothers, you know, the people who depend on the nappies and the milk and the thing, a disservice.
So if I sold that item that was worth £60 for less than £30, maybe even a pound.
If I sold it for a pound, then I'd be doing a disservice, and I wouldn't be doing my job properly, would I?
So there's always going to be stuff that's going to be more expensive.
But like I said, we try and keep it to the boutique section.
So the boutique section is the middle in Blackwood, and it's the frontier, and Risca is fairly normal prices, and the donation centre is a bit hit and miss, because it depends where you get in.
If it's something that can go in a window or a cabinet and go to Blackwood, if it's a big bit of furniture, it'll be out the front.
But like I said, the more customers we get, the more stock we sell, the more the stock level goes down in the shops, right?
The cheaper I can do it for in the long run.
And then somewhere down the line, we'd have another conversation, because we're taking six times as much, because people know what we're doing, people know why we're doing it.
And people appreciate why we're doing it.
People want to see it going into local things.
They don't want to see it going off to these companies and these CEOs.
This CEO, this one, right?
This one works here for free, seven days a week.
And I'm here on the shop floor with the staff.
You know, if the toilet needs cleaning, I clean it.
If this mess out here, I've got to clean it up, yeah?
I'm going through the donations.
I'm watching the duty donations that come in.
I'm here on the shop floor with the staff.
So you're not looking at the CEO driving the Mercedes around and all the rest of it.
So yeah, tell all your friends, guys.
Tell all your friends.
Tell them we do over 60s discount.
Thinking of bringing in a loyalty card so that you win something.
Risca and the donation centre is not going to be open until the new year.
No, we're not going to worry about them.
We're just going to leave them now until the new year and then go from there.
Don't forget, we are closing on the 23rd.
So you won't be able to access naffies, food banks, advice, any clothes or anything like that.
Okay?
Because the shops will be shut on the 23rd.
Some of the volunteers are coming in to do some work, but I don't think they're going to open up to the public.
Alright, they're going to have a bit of a break because they want to move stuff around.
