今天特意提前到快递站点取快递，结果小姐姐找了半天没找到，说好找到后给我回电话，一波三折，不过我已经做好决定，明天如果还没有找到，我就找店铺客服解决，丢件这种事情我还没遇到过，希望明天能找到吧，少些后续麻烦。
刷淘宝直播时，发现熟悉的一家店铺提前停播放假，这般早的假期，比往年足足提前了不少。想起去年这个时候，主播还在直播间感慨生意难做，为控制成本，不仅将大仓库换成小仓库、缩减囤货量，还从三名主播每日三时段直播，变成如今老板独自一人每隔一天播一次。
主播坦言，已萌生退意，不想再继续直播带货，却迟迟没找到合适的转行项目，只好早早关播放假。直播间的人气也肉眼可见地滑落，从前一场直播能有十几万观看人次，如今只剩几万，关注度大不如前，字里行间满是无奈，也悄悄透出当下小商家经营的不易与迷茫。
Today I went early to the pickup point to get my package, but the staff couldn’t find it after searching for a long time. She said she would call me if it turned up. It was a bit frustrating, but I’ve decided that if it’s still missing tomorrow, I’ll contact the shop’s customer service. I’ve never lost a package before, so I really hope it shows up and saves me extra trouble.
While watching a Taobao livestream, I noticed a shop I know had stopped streaming early to take a break. This year’s break came much earlier than usual. It made me think of last year, when the host was still talking about how hard business was. To cut costs, they moved from a big warehouse to a smaller one, reduced stock, and went from three hosts streaming several times a day to the owner streaming alone once every two days.
The host admitted she was thinking about quitting livestream selling but hadn’t found a new direction yet, so they chose to stop early. The drop in viewers is easy to see. Streams that once had over a hundred thousand views now get only a few tens of thousands. Interest has clearly faded, showing the quiet stress and uncertainty many small shop owners are facing today.
