Gemini's retail trading volume has plunged to a three-year low, and the first thing I thought of was that old tea house downstairs.
I went in at three in the afternoon. Two old guys were playing chess, there were more staff than customers, and the TV was on the whole time with nobody watching.
This business is pretty much the same now. It's all regulars who've been coming here forever—haven't seen a single new face.
Damn, with so few people around, even wiping the tables feels pointless.
If you want to drink tea, bring your own deck of cards. Don't expect anyone to make up a table.
