There is a small kiosk by the roadside that sells boiled corn. We always stop to buy. Boiled corn is a nice snack while traveling to our destination. During the rainy season the kiosk was still there but there was no boiled corn. It is off season for the crops so there is no corn. What the kiosk has are fruits like pineapple and small bananas. We also bought some fruits. Come to think of it, that vendor has the brains to think of an alternative when the supply runs out. There is no corn anywhere in the country so he shifted his products to fruits which are also good to sell by the roadside. Vehicles would surely stop when the fruits are hanging by the side of the kiosk especially the ripening bunch of bananas.
This reminds me of a store that sells Korean goods. My wife's favorite is their melon ice cream. One time there was no supply and we were surprised to see the freezer with local ice cream. The owner said that it is better to sell the local ice cream instead of showing to customers an empty freezer. That makes sense to me for an empty rack may give a bad impression.
