The oil crisis has left several business in the city stock broke. The local markets where I use to buy my groceries are now closing because of lack of costumers for not having good beverages, fruits, and vegetables. The employees were fired and have to look for a new job somewhere else and the only thing they new how to do is work as a cashier or maintaining the store. They no longer get there production from big companies, because the big companies charge more because the exportation cost more money and the local money can’t afford exportation goods from other countries. I now buy my goods at Cosco. Prices are not so chip but they have what I need. I also grow some vegetables in my gardens, like tomatoes, peas, beans, and bell peppers. Is not a lot but is something that makes a difference. The prospects in our community or some what limited. When a store closes, there is always another store close that has good business and good things to sale. But what would happen if all the stores that is near by run out of business. We would even have to be force to buy our food for a higher price. And not much would be bought because companies are not paying their employees more then they use to because their shipments are very little because of the oil shortages. I have a speed bike with a basket. The basket is to put my supplies in their. I no longer drive a car because gas prices roused up to $5:67 a gallon. The speed bike is fast durable and it gets me to places. When the store closed near by, people had no other choice but to buy their goods in a big store like Cosco or Wal-Mart. They need essential goods like milk, salt, rice, sugar, meat; and even though the prices are high people still need to buy to survive.
