Hello friends, trust you are having a beautiful Sunday. Yesterday's plans of having a groove at an open bar as requested by fellow shoppers wasn't achieved. We agreed to meet @devillahotbar at our usual time of 4pm, but due to our different schedules we all arrived late, I got to the venue and met two other shoppers turned friends and we waited for others to arrive.

While waiting, we decided to take nice pictures together and gist about our purpose of gathering which is #spendhbd. Few minutes later our local guide @beauty197 arrived and others joined in afterwards.
We had #hive discussions and my trusted local guide answered questions that have bordered one of the newbie for long and general discussions were held where each person made their own contributions and suggestions for more possibilities and growth ideas.
We signaled the attendant at the bar to come take our order only to realize they had nothing except drinks. Nothing was prepared yet and they are just starting, we were a bit disappointed that at almost 6pm a big business doesn't have anything to offer to their customers.

We left there because there was no need wasting more time and it was already getting late. The group at this point has two different opinions, some said we should go for shopping while others said we should check for another nice bar.
As we walked along the road we came across another nice bar named ClubD5 Bar and Louge and I suggested to my local guide to go check it out since the day was meant for fun and groove. We went in and the place has a lovely ambience, very beautiful too. My local guide requested to see the manager or whoever was in charge. She was asked to wait, so we sat and waited hopefully for a positive outcome.
Unfortunately when my local guide came back to meet us, she asked us to take our things that we were leaving, I asked why and she told us that the person in charge didn't accept our idea and refused the listing of his bar. At this point we were all feeling downhearted.

The only last option was just to go for our shopping, so we drove down to @chiefomart where our shopping took place.
SHOPPING AT CHIEFOMART
We always get a nice reception at chiefomart because of our frequent shopping there, we also go as a group which creates more awareness for the #spendhbd project and gives us the opportunity to discuss with interested customers who wants to know more about what we do.
We all got our items of choice at chiefomart store and did our transactions as usual with HBD as means of payment. I also got a nice wine which I enjoyed with my family and other items. It was night already so we took some pictures together which was still beautiful even though it was dark. I bought items worth 4 hive dollars and got discount of 0.800 hbd which is 20% discount of what I bought.

APPRECIATION
A bunch of thanks to #spendhbd for the shopping opportunities and @distriator for my 20 percent discount gotten from my purchase. The transaction was fast and network was favorable even though we shopped late into the night, it's always fun to hang out and shop together with a purpose of creating awareness in Spendhbd adoption and usuage in our everyday life.
Everyone was happy after their transactions and getting their discounts except one of our friends @anicon-cern5 who had difficulty claiming her discount. It was sad occurrence as we tried and even restarted her phone several times to no avail. She didn't claim her discount yesterday and I hope the situation would be addressed soonest.
Apart from that minor setback, everything went well and we bided our goodbyes to each other hoping to meet again soon for another group shopping.
Have a great day ahead you all and much love from me.
