久しぶりに客から注文が入った。
あいにく在庫切れだったので町へ出かける。
わざわざ作るなんてとんでもない。
手持ちなければ市販品を買うしかあるまいて。
昔風の商店街を歩いて探しまわる。
納得できる品質の割り箸セットを手に入れた。
これを包装して客に発送するのだ。
手間ばかりかかって儲からない商売である。
いっそやめればよさそうなものだ。
けれども、わざわざ廃業宣言をするのも
それはそれで大変というか億劫だ。
そんな話を
どうせろくに聞いちゃいまいだろうがな。
A Set of Disposable Chopstick
I received an order from a customer
for the first time in a long time.
Unfortunately it was out of stock so I went to town.
It's ridiculous to bother to make it.
If I don't have it,
I have no choice but to buy a commercial product.
I walk around the old-fashioned shopping street.
I got a set of disposable chopsticks of convincing quality.
I plan to wrap this and ship it to the customer.
It is a business
that takes time and effort and is not profitable.
It looks like it should be stopped.
However, it is difficult or unpleasant to declare that
the business will be closed.
I'm telling such a story to a familiar woman.
She probably didn't listen to it anyway.
