Ms. Tran Thi Mo (Xuan Phuong ward, Hanoi) - a customer who came to the gold store to buy for the first time - said: "Today both my mother and I went to buy for the first time. I went out to queue first and then ran away for work, my mother will come in to queue for me. From the time I entered until now, I pressed the speedometer, the transaction time is 10 minutes/person. I plan to buy about 5 taels of gold rings".

Similarly, Ms. Nguyen Thi Phan (70 years old, Hanoi) said that the crowded queuing situation took place at many gold businesses this morning. "I went through stores on Cau Giay street and saw that it was crowded, so I came here to queue. The other side limits 1 tael of gold, this side is not limited, so I came here. I just bought a little bit for my children and grandchildren later" - Ms. Phan said.

Continuing to record at Bao Tin Minh Chau Gold, Silver and Gemstone Co., Ltd., as of 9:51 am this morning, the store announced temporary out of stock. As one of the customers who came to queue early, Ms. Bui Thu Bich (Tay Ho ward, Hanoi) shared, my mother and I queued from 6 am until about 8 am to get into the store to sit and wait.

From early morning, people arranged numbers themselves, so when they came in, everyone rushed in without order, and the store also did not resolve it. Today, my mother and I bought more than 1 tael of gold after 4 hours of waiting" - Ms. Bich informed.

Talking to the customer who just completed the transaction, this person said: "The store has stopped receiving new customers, I went from 7 am to buy now. The people sitting next to me are on reservation, this afternoon the store will not transact further. If you need it tomorrow morning, I will queue for you, from 7:30 am to 10 am, the fee is 200,000 VND/person. If necessary, I will take a photo of the QR code when paying and send it to you or when it's your turn, I will call you out".
