Personal shoppers expect NT$100,000 profits for Mid-Autumn pastry sales
Personal shoppers expect NT$100,000 profits for Mid-Autumn pastry sales
2025-09-01
Every year before Mid-Autumn Festival, a famous shop selling salted egg yolk pastries in Changhua sees extremely long lines. To ease the wait this year, the shop is differentiating between those buying on behalf of others and individual customers in order to prevent conflict. As the holiday approaches, it’s getting more expensive to hire a personal shopper. Just from the holiday alone, they can expect to make nearly NT$100,000 in a month.
The time has come once again for a line of waiting customers to appear outside of this famous Changhua joint for egg yolk pastries. But unlike previous years, this time there are two separate lines: one for those buying on others’ behalf, and one for those purchasing for themselves. This way, the few individual shoppers won’t find they’re sold out before they even get to the front.
Customer
The phone call isn’t going through. I’ve already called a bunch of times.
Customer
I came at 7am. We usually don’t think about hiring someone to come. You have to have the determination.
Casual customers are willing to go through the trouble of waiting in line themselves to avoid spending even more money for someone to go in their place. The two separate lines seem to be moving along smoothly, keeping the process orderly and preventing conflict. As Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the price to hire someone to buy pastries is going up. Six pastries that originally would have cost NT$300 are now NT$380, or even up to NT$500 online.
Purchasing agent
Business is good over the Mid-Autumn Festival. In one month, I can make NT$100,000 give or take.
Business over the holiday is booming for those willing to wait in line, earning them up to NT$100,000 in just one month. This bakery is not only creating business for itself, but can also make sure the personal shoppers are well taken care of. As long as there’s a market need, there will be people there to fill the gap.
