Sangam General Stores

Sangam General Stores is located at Nigidi 18/20. It is just your typical neighborhood shop where you can find almost anything if you look hard enough. We have those big glass jars filled with sweets on the counter, and the ceiling is usually hanging with packets of chips and biscuits. It’s a bit dark inside because we don’t like to keep too many lights on during the day, but we know exactly where everything is. People in Nigidi stop by for all sorts of things, maybe a notebook for school or a new lightbulb. The 18/20 spot has been our shop for years, and the wooden shelves are starting to sag a little under the weight of the canned goods. I usually sit on a small stool by the door and watch the neighborhood go by when it’s quiet. In the evenings, it gets very busy with people coming back from work, so things can get a little chaotic for a few hours. We don’t have a computer for billing, we just use a pen and a notebook like we always have. It works fine for us. Sometimes we run out of change, and we have to give out some candies instead, which the kids don't seem to mind. It’s a small business, and it’s not perfect, but we try to be helpful to whoever walks through the door. We don't have a big team, just a couple of us who take turns watching the counter.
