Speaker 2 (00:06):
Gentlemen today, what can had it for you?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
It's time to catch up with a friendly fruit or
David Stewart, who on a daily basis faces challenges all
the time, whether it's the arrival of vegetables or fruit,
or whether it's equipment packing up. You've had quite a week, David.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Morning, Brian. Yes, it's a very interesting few days. Our
main cooler packed up on the weekend and now have
you got any money so I could do it? So?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
And it's funny, you know, Fridges coolers, whatever it might be,
the always back up on weekends.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I don't know how they're doing on Monday or Tuesday.
They know it's a weekend. We don't get anybody to
fix it, that's correct. And when you do bring them up,
you're paying the after hours money, the holy hell and
fifty bucks just to bring you up and talk to you. No,
I don't know how much is going to cost, but
it's a big deal. Four days of hastling and the challenges,
the challenges.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Of a small business, I guess, really, isn't it the one? Mate?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
No problems with deliveries getting in.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
No, No, we just had to be very careful. Lucky
we got two other coolers. We put them temperature down
and jammed everything in and played around and running back
and forwards. The markets pick up stuff. But yes, has
been an interesting couple of days and.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
A very busy time for fruiter Is in the Bay
of Plenty, in particular with the Ames games here and
I guess you're sort of making deliveries to supply sandwiches
and food and stuff to them.

I've never seen so many cars over there. There's a
lot of people, a lot of young people and a
lot of mums and dads. Oh yes, it's Jamms. It's
like Christmas again.
