Has been open a week and you're already friends with the delivery guy.

He's nice, I told him they need to sell bags of coffee too.

1. Seems like a good friend to make
Are you in Canada or China now? Sorry, I can't keep up. Is there a delivery charge? Home delivery of booze makes a great deal of sense. Good idea about the coffee too.

2. China - they deliver EVERYTHING here
It's so cheap for labour. I can get a bottle of Jameson delivered to my door for about $18 USD. McDonald's even delivers. If I want a chocolate bar from the shop, the kid will run it up. (I don't do that though, it's a bit overly lazy).

I think the coffee idea will take off, to get a bag of joe for my house I have to go to the foreigner store, you can't just get it anywhere. But, if I can have it delivered, even better, I hate going ALL the way to one of the foreign stores just for coffee.

5. Ah! That's a competitor!

That's mine, the plot thickens! That competitor is expensive too.

7. Grants for 65 yuan. Not bad stuff.
I hope you tip them well.

9. Tip! How dare you.
Edited on Thu Nov-04-10 01:53 AM by HEyHEY
There's no tipping in China, man. We got a good thing going and any expat who ruins it will be shot and pissed on at daybreak.

(That said, I tipped the guy last night, when it's busy, I wanna make sure they remember me and bring me the booze first!)

6. If labor is really so cheap, you should see if they can deliver a bartender who comes carrying a bar
