Many ice cream vendors in Palanga are minors who have sold in the summer. None of them wanted to be photographed, but he told how they were making money. Kamilė, a 16-year-old girl from Klaipeda, who was interviewed on Žvej calle street leading to the Palanga rescue station, said she had started selling ice cream 3 weeks ago. She spends 8 hours a day in the fridge. The girl admitted that the exchange depends on the weather: on a hot day, passers-by only take this summer dessert.
“I have sold about 500 ice creams a day. On a colder day, you can only sell around 50. The most popular are ice cream on a stick or simple waffle ice cream,” Kamilė revealed.
It is true, according to her, there are days when you earn more in the rain than in the sun. In total, Kamilė’s employer has six points of sale in Palanga. She has to work in one way or another. In some places trade is better, in others it is worse. The girl was a little surprised when she said that the best place to sell ice cream is not at all in the resort, but in Kunigiškės. It also sells a lot at the end of Vytauto street.
More, according to her, children like ice cream. They especially like sorbets, which are attracted to the bright colors of drinks.
The 14-year-old boy, who sells ice on the beach closest to the beach, said he was also working alone for a third week. And here is a 16-year-old vendor from Vydmantai, who said he would do it by the third summer. During that time, he climbed the career ladder, currently in the ice cream vendor administration, distributing points. The boy told me that the ice cream trade in the streets begins in mid-June, this year it will be done perhaps a little later.

“It is a cold summer this year, not a season. The trade was three times better last summer. How much money have I raised more? Maybe 400 euros a day,” said the trader on a cold afternoon in mid-July.
The young saleswoman agreed with him: People are reluctant to buy ice cream on a cold day because they are afraid of getting sick.
The most common buyers are children. They make up perhaps 70 percent. of all buyers
The most expensive ice cream will cost 2.5 euros, the cheapest, the euro. The best-selling ice cream: “Dwarf”, which costs 1.1 euros, because its role is the most beautiful for children. It is true that the same delicacy can be bought in the store for 70 euro cents. But does it matter when you’re on vacation?
“The most common shoppers are children. They make up perhaps 70 percent. Of all shoppers Most ice creams are sold from noon to 3 p.m. Billing on J.Basanavičiaus Street is much higher than here at Žvejų street. But at my point, I don’t sell much. Above all, yesterday I could have raised 180 euros a day, only 50 euros, although it was a warmer day, even the sun had gone down, “said the vendor from Klaipeda.
The guy who manages the vendors also revealed how much the ice cream vendors earn from the refrigerators. Shift work costs 16 euros, plus 3 percent paid. of the quantity sold, so selling is more worthwhile. He himself, as a distributor, receives 25 euros per day.
Shift work costs 16 euros, plus 3 percent paid. of the quantity sold.
The best point, according to him, in J.Basanavičiaus street, in the square. Merchants who have been working for less than a year generally work there. When asked if all the ice cream vendors were minors, they were assured that they only knew one adult standing by the fridge.

“It just came to our attention then. Not much depends on the weather, people buy ice cream even when it’s cold. Maybe they only buy less when it’s hot. Delicious ice cream, the weather doesn’t matter,” smiled the vendor.
Ice cream peas, which appeared on the market last year, are currently sold at three locations on J.Basanavičiaus Street.
“When we have sold 250 euros in the middle of the day, around 4 in the afternoon, it is already a good day. Generally, we start operating at 11 am, on weekends, at noon. At this point, maybe we sell less because we are like in a corner, not in the street itself. At another time, more notorious for buyers, there are even several times more sales. We have raised at least 88 euros a day “, – opened the girls who came to work from Plungė.
Both are also schoolgirls.
