Business Permits

I've been hearing about this a lot. Seems like you can't have a legitimate business in the TOWN MARKET if you don't kiss asses.

Ever heard of the little mayor? Yup. Seems like she's running the show in the market. Why little mayor? Because you have to go through her first. Every vendor knows her and every vendor tries to please her so they can stay in their positions and continue their business in the market. Sometimes though, you'll realize you haven't pleased her as much as others did. You would just be kicked out of your place because "it's not allowed to sell there." Then suddenly, someone else would be selling in your place. Not allowed huh..

How did she get so popular anyway? And how did she end up running things? Well.......it wouldn't be surprising to know that she was the mayor's secretary so yeah, she gets orders from them. Not to mention having a relationship with their driver too. Sounds like a sleazy piece of gossip...but it's true. =P

If you have ever been around the Miagao Public Market, you would see empty stalls and empty rooms. Why is this so? You would see stores outside the Market when there are still many empty spaces IN the market where attracting customers would be a lot easier. High rental fee, the obligation to VOTE for the ones they tell you to, the "little mayor" and other things are reasons for this. In the end, it also affects the business economy of the town. It's just not business friendly..
