Fruit sellers explained that in September and October to sell exotic fruits and so difficult.

Save for fear of darling

Mood among buyers, not what.
Elytė, who sells fresh meat alongside them, has her own answer as to why the number of people in the market has decreased.
Aurelija Jašinskienė / 15min.lt photo / Traders at Klaipėda’s old market said more shoppers can be seen at least during the weekend.
“It just came to our attention then. In the shops also less. The heating season has started. Here is the answer. People read, watch the news and know that we will pay a lot for heating this year. So save.
When you come, buy just for that. Think about what gas, electricity prices. It’s scary! ”Said the Klaipėda citizen excitedly.
Aušra, who sells smoked meat, says the mood among buyers is not like this.
“They are very intimidated by the media. The news that everything is getting expensive is depressing. Another pandemic. Everyone is angry, sad ”, the merchant did not hide.
Ilona Grikšienė, who was traveling from Švėkšna to Klaipėda, said that some people had been shopping until September 13, when the passport of opportunities was presented. It is said that part of the poultry was bought and frozen.
The pension was enjoyed for 3 months.
There are even fewer people in the fish section. Spacious and between merchants as there are only a few sections.
Elvyra Anužienė, who sells fresh fish 15 minutes He said he’s been retired for four years.
“It seems like I could just sit at home and enjoy life. But this is not the case, ”explained citizen Klaipėda.
It is true that the woman did not work for three months in the summer.
Aurelija Jašinskienė / 15min.lt photo / Elvyra, who trades fish, could have earned a break four years ago, but is still working.
“My pension is not high, only 300 euros. The husband’s pension, although of considerable duration, is also small. He is sick and can no longer work. We quickly saw that we simply were not surviving.
I went back to work in September. The salary is minimal, but after receiving it we can live, ”the woman opened.
She hears similar moods from shoppers. Now, he says, people are more comfortable not with a pandemic but with rising prices.
Similar moods prevailed in the Old Market. Here, the dealerships also cursed the taxable parking spaces. They proposed converting the demolished pavilions into a plaza, allocating several free parking spaces and thus stimulating trade.
To promote business: a fair
Vyacheslav Karmanov, the manager of Klaipeda Old and New Marketplace, was more optimistic.
“I can confirm that the number of buyers has not really increased, but, in my opinion, it has not decreased. Those buyers who went and survived. But increasing is certainly not the case. The peak is Saturday,” said V. Karmanov.
He speculated that supermarkets where an opportunity passport is not required are likely to enjoy the highest traffic.
