Mamadou
La Boutique ... you know what the boutique? Some have attitude with the use of foreign languages. In Italy especially. And in Milan even more. The weekend is much better than the weekend. If it is fashionable, but fashion is a lot more. The Petit Palais that although writing is always some uncertainty in understanding, and many doubts about, inspires in the listener sophisticated fantasies, even when exposure is two meters by two in a stable ... in this case the use of language French fly helps to smell ... and with sadness the sum of the members of the Academy of the bran as well as friends and supporters, xenophilia examples of language if they are numerous and abundant. Like the boutique. The boutique in Milan is in the golden triangle between Via bautta and Napoleon, does not sell clothes, and if someone sells capidaltamoda defines boutique food is only because he wants to expel all those who can pay 75 € nn per kilo ham. And maybe a certain tone.
Now the boutique in Senegal is a shop no bigger than 5 square meters where it sells everything. Earthen out that "sells everything" is not a euphemism ... sell everything. The antiblatte for one thing, there is. There is Nescafe, the dish soap, beverages, butters if you want a sandwich, cigarettes, ... here is the bread and toilet paper no. That is, if nn nn the boutique has it's got none. This facility evolved from our store. And most concentrated. In one square meter of the wires are washing with hot peppers instead of pants and shirt instead of powdered milk that can be whiter nn. In place of the old VAT (Registration of Marks (the old, not the AVA)) that says you're wrong there Mamadou bleaching. A masterpiece of marketing. A man would envy the Italian management of finance, a creative currency.
The ability to make do in Senegal is very high. When there is no job and invent it yourself, albeit with very low margins for many the chance of survival is the more immediate business. Maybe you can ensure that only 1,000 CFA per day, but quell'euro and a half is a meal provided, which would otherwise be left to the charity of those who can. It is clear that in this context or are you awake or you are awake. There is not much margin for error. In short, natural selection can never be Meneguzzi Senegal. In fact under these circumstances what can be seen is there are no Flavia Vento, nor Henry ... popes. Yet there Mamadou. Always responds with a slightly cross-eyed impastatissimo ça va? nn and a look that betrays nothing ... absolutely nothing. He leans on the refrigerator (which is between the only customer who can physically be in the shop) and look for the counter a bottle of Fanta, which here is inexplicably fluorescent, and without saying anything gives you the shot in reverse. Head in the refrigerator a hand that supports the oil tank, the other gives the drink, and prolonged waiting in silence until the call of the bottle by the customer. Two days ago, Richard was distracted a second, Mamadou was hypothermic and had a principle of frostbite to the nose and jaw. Extraction took place, involving several minutes of agony comes the time of payment. And there nn never know how it will end. From the rest with a loan, purchase incentive. The price is fisso. È la matematica che cambia. E sì che i leoni del commercio esistono ogni 30 metri circa. La boutique di mamadou è davanti a casa, ma l’altra è all’incrocio, 26 metri e 87 centimetri più in là. I prezzi vicino al concetto ultimo di concorrenza, cioè guadagno nullo del commerciante, e comunque tutti uniformati. Ma alla fine ci piace così. E per risparmiare i 26 metri e 87 centimetri che ci separano dall’universo della boutique “quella all’angolo” ci facciamo volentieri due risate con mamadou. Che quel giorno decida che 100 cfa siano 95 o 115…
