It’s because they know you live around.
The shops on my street that I buy stuffs from do the same thing. I realized it’s simply because I stay nearby so if they don’t receive the money, they can easily bring it up whenever they see me, which they always will.
One thing I’ve noticed on my street has been surprising me lately.
Most times when I step out to buy groceries or something small from the shops around, I usually pay with transfer.
I hardly carry cash.
So I’ll just finish buying, tell the shop owner,
“I’ve sent the money.”
What surprises me is this…
Most of them don’t even check immediately.
No looking at their POS machine.
No checking alerts.
They just nod and say,
“Okay.”
Then they move on like the payment is already confirmed.
At first I thought maybe it was just one shop.
But I’ve noticed the same thing with different shops on the street.
Same pattern.
I say I’ve transferred… they just believe me.
Sometimes they only check much later.
Now I keep wondering.
Is it because they see my face around the area all the time?
Or maybe they think I don’t look like someone who would cheat them?
Or maybe… that’s just how they treat everyone?
