Selling and buyer has been a part of human life right from when the world was made, a lot of individuals have at one point in their life had to sell or buy something from people. It's not a strange thing to actually have more than one person with whom one buys a particular product from.

So there's this lady I met at the market very close to my house , she sells pepper and also grinds with the local made grinder and , yeah it was normal that I bought stuff from her and I paid her in full, anytime she sees me and she has fresh goods she always notifies me about it.
And because I am someone that doesn't like stress , even though I might not be a wealthy person, I still do not like stuff that stresses me out , especially when I am not benefiting anything from it , so it has been like this with her for many months , let's say even years, I didn't even always bother branching at the market because I knew she is always there.
Then on two occasions while I was on my way back from school , after leaving a big market behind only to get to her store , she didn't have what I wanted din her store on two occasions, I felt frustrated because it actually disrupted my week on those those occasions, so my sister showed me a spot she usually bought stuff from at the market one day while we were on our way back from school.
And because of the experience I already had I had to start buying from this new place and I would take the pepper and tomato to her store to grind, because then I didn't have an electric blender, at first when she saw I bought ans she had I told her it was because she didn't have the last time I came and she grinder for me , until one day she said she doesnt use to grind other people stuff , that so far there weren't buying from her. But I told her I usually paid money to grind the stuff and it was free.
She started giving attitudes from them, but I didn't say anything anymore, I had to look for somewhere else to do my stuff, so here she already felt entitled to me buying from her, but I also asked her this question, I said is it a crime to buy from another place?, she couldn't respond.
And because I hate rubbish and stress , I carried myself to another place.
So I learnt to buy stuff from different sources, since then I never bought something from one kind of trader, I just move around till I see anyone that will sell what I really do want.
Somehow if I say a good experience I had with a trader was when I bought my kids back to school stuff worth 30$ that's about 40 thousand Naira then, and the woman actually gave me a discount , instead of paying 40000 , she asked me to pay 35 thousand naira , because she said she like women that spend on their kids and don't wait for men to give them money.
So I was really happy on this day because it made my day and she was a stranger for that matter.
