Not event but people living near the area probably


Is it possible to just weigh the other products next time? Most of the people who lives here uses sachets that's why we have lots of plastics. So maybe next time we can just weight it instead of counting.

Also we think it would be better if we limit the categories and kinds cause it takes a lot of time when sorting.
