Hi everyone, hope everyone is having a nice day off!
Just got a new gig in a small island in the Atlantic called Madeira, my employers got a view bars and cafes and due to the volume of tourism the demand for mixed drinks and bars upgrades in something ti's very willing to invest.
I used to bartender in England for more than 12 years and drinkstuff and nisbets used to be my go too for your day to day use, price wise was good and for bit and pieces everything you can ask.
Everything to say, I have pretty much wasted my last week looking for similar stuff without the crazy price they charge around the island, and even searching for eu market the difference is quite big! For example a set of tin on tin on drinkstuff is around 8 bucks, lower quality without shipping hits you at 14-20 euros, and as far you can see, lower quality.
Can't really get the reason, and don't really find a store were you can get you little bits and cocktail gear :/
