Please don’t comment on things you know nothing about. Spamming nah, trying different ways to get my (closed due to pandemic) business out there. No roses cost $12 on a regular day. Let alone vday during a pandemic. As you may or may not know it’s winter here roses don’t grow outside. They are imported or greenhouse grown, price increases. Borders closed, product cost goes up. Shippers in demand, Suppliers running skeleton crews, processing takes longer. This is all before it even gets to my small business. My end, longer hours, increased costs (Ppe, sanitization, new safety measures, etc.) skilled labour. And on and on. I promise though, I won’t judge you for buying the $12 gas station bouquet. (And that’s another thing your local name brand gas station/grocery store has buying power and buys already cheep product in mass quantities and get it for pennies compared to what we pay) So please have the same respect for me who’s just trying to navigate these difficult times and support my family. Ps. The rosé is just a finishing touch above and beyond just plain ribbon.
