Where have all the people gone...

For the last four weeks, I have been on the vans delivering around the island. It is shocking to see how many businesses once thriving have gone out of business. When we delivered the last Business Pages Tenerife directory, the island was a very different place. Businesses were still hanging in there, and making money. Now many have disappeared, bars empty, and restaurants serving UB40´s. As we pushed on delivering, it also dawned on me, that many of the businesses closed down, where the ones with attitudes. I remember delivering to so many places, who were so rude to us. A new product that they had never seen, and because they thought I was just the delivery guy, treated me with disrespect and bad manners. Just because I was jumping on and off a van, the owners of many businesses treated me as a second class citizen, not worthy of their intellectual personality. So in some ways it was also clear why these people had closed their doors, and why so many of these "I've been here for 20 years and know everything" people had gone out of business. Worlds change and so do Islands, business grows up, and so do people. Placing stake on amount of time spent in Tenerife, is hardly a just reason for dictating to people. Good on you if you have spent 20 years in the sun, what did you learn? are you prepared to share the information? or are you one of those arrogant types, who bullshit everyone, and rip them off in the process.
