peer agreement (net): +2sell on a serving basis Explanation: I'd use a bit of a work-around here, e.g. "to sell X on a serving basis in the outlet" or "to sell X wodka on a serving basis in the outlet". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day3 hrs (2007-06-09 13:20:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- @Stephanie: I can't imagine this having anything to do with gifts, since serving the wodka is clearly associated with selling. As to 'schenkstatus', I think this may be an indication of whether or not the product concerned is to be held on stock explicitly for serving-based sale, or, to use Steeve's suggestion, for sale by the glass. This would also seem to fit in with the idea of mandatory and non-mandatory or optional stock ('verplichte voorraden' and 'niet-verplichte voorraden'). 'Serving-based sale', by the way, might also be an option here! |
