Happy 90th Greeting Cards

It simply had to say 'Get well soon'. Not one did. Upside-down, back-to-front, hand-soiled, crumpled cards, the stupid shop didn't have any get-well-soons. It made the pain worse that there was a card for a 90th birthday. Are there more nonagenarians than invalids in the city of Accra?

    1. You could think so but it also makes business sense to buy more of the 'moving' item. Or perhaps it was on its way in. lol

    1. Exactly my point. But Yeh sounds right. I saw the slow-moving cards on the rack that day.

    Maybe they focus on that particular niche market......

  4. "crumpled cards" tells me selling greeting cards is not really why the store is open.
