The Story Of A Retail Box In A Market


There is hustle and bustle on a busy street of a metropolitan city. People are coming here and there, doing all sorts of things. Shops were wide open waiting for customers with heavy wallets. A delivery truck came from the main street and stopped right in front of a multistory retail store. The driver came down and opened the back door. Two men from the store rushed towards the truck. They climbed over the truck and picked the boxes and carried them towards the interior of the store. Among those carried boxes, our star retail packaging boxes were present.

Retail Box and Lonely Shelves:

The employees at the store were all pissed at the uncalled work in the morning. This was an urgent delivery ordered by the manager. The reason for this delivery was the upcoming season of summer holidays. And the demand for something rises exponentially. To become a proactive manager, he ordered the required things in an advance. This was a wise business decision. Because of the good profit margin, this kind of strategies must be on the fingertips of every manager at any business store. So back to our retail box, our box was carried by the store employee. The employee carried it towards a shelf at the prime location of the store. Our box was put on the shelf behind the boxes. And there our box spent time. People came into the store and wandered in the lanes of displayed things. Many people took boxes from our shelf where our box was placed. But no one touched our box. Some days passed and all boxes from the shelf were taken by buyers. Our box was the only one left behind. There he stayed for one day and out of nowhere a boy came and picked our box.

Fate Driven Journey:

The boy who picked our star character box carried it towards the cashier. There at the cash register of the store. The ownership of our box is changed. The boy paid the cashier with small notes and coins and become the owner of the box. Our box contained a thing desired by the boy. The fate of the box was now in the hands of a teenage boy. What he will do with the box? Why he bought the box with his collected pocket money of many days? You must be wondering why the story is stopped? Will we ever know what happened to the box? Yes. You will all know that. But think about everything you buy in retail. The packaging boxes of everything in retail come from a truck. Carried by workers and placed on the shelves. And in a while, someone comes and picks the box. Carry the box towards the cash register and pay the price to become the owner. At that point, every box has the same fate.

So What Happened To The Box?

Nothing new happened to the box. The boy tore the box and brought out the thing he wanted and threw the box away. And this same thing happens to all boxes in retail.
