Snackette


This is a snackette. It is across the street from the post office. There is a snackette on almost every block. It is in the front lower portion of someone's house. You can go there to buy snacks. This one has chairs and tables to encourage people to stay. After school there are school children with soda pop liming. (Lime means "hang out" in Guyanaese). After work, adults lime with beer. Some snackettes are larger and are small grocery stores. This is a small one. The window is barred. You can look in and see the shelves and pick out what you want. The larger ones allow you to walk in and shop.
