Waiting for hours just to get a gold voucher
According to Lao Dong reporters today (September 27), although the price of round gold rings has been continuously increasing and is almost catching up with SJC gold bars, many people are still flocking to gold shops to buy.
The situation of waiting in line to buy gold occurs continuously because most stores only sell a very small amount per day and do not announce specific times.
Waiting for many hours to buy a few taels of plain gold rings, Mr. Nguyen The Tung (My Dinh, Hanoi) - a customer buying gold at a store in Cau Giay (Hanoi) - shared: "I myself also followed the crowd to buy gold to store for later. Until today, I was able to buy 5 taels of plain gold rings and still can't believe I bought them.
Go to the store to wait for the ticket but there are only a few dozen tickets. If you are one step late, you have to wait for many hours, sometimes they will only open the sale of gold rings again the next day.
Similar to Mr. Tung, Ms. Nguyen Khanh Hoa (Cau Giay) - who also waited from early morning to get a number to buy gold - said: "Gold is scarce, many stores have to limit the number of buyers each day. My daughter and I waited in line together for several hours but only one person was allowed to buy.
However, today is probably luckier than the past few days of waiting because I was able to buy 5 taels of gold, while many days ago people were only allowed to buy 1 tael of gold.
Waiting for many days but still missing the time when the gold shop sells gold rings, Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan (Cau Giay, Hanoi) - disappointed: "Waiting for 3 days, today I only see the number of people waiting with me increase.
I just left the store for a few minutes and when I came back, the tickets were already full, and I missed my chance to buy gold today. Maybe I'll have to come earlier this weekend to wait again."
