Observations at the Supermarket and Shopping Mall

Where's Stomp when you need em.Originally posted by the Bear:that's why.. you're not supposed to...
i see the hired help there sweeping away a LOT of fruit skin.. and i went for a walk around, came back and he was still sweeping away more!
-
i'm don't know about stopping them.. i'd be pelted with fruit
but seriously, this is just.. unreasonable behaviour
Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:Oh well that's just sad isnt it.
But just like people who talk in cinemas, hardly anyone will speak up and tell them to stop.
In fact, some MIGHT tell other people to keep quiet in cinemas, cos inconveniencing us ma.. but in a case like this, who would speak up to stop them? (end up getting pelted by longans and mangosteens!) (Not rudely though. Don't believe in using bad behavior to correct bad behavior.)
so the onus is on who to stop such inappropriate behaviour? -
next time tell me, i bring my camera and take pic...send to stomp and disgrace them!Originally posted by the Bear:i stood there and watched..
a mid-20s couple just peeled and ate about 5 mangosteens, feeding their baby some of it.. then packed about 10 in a bag..
like the talking bus and laurence said, a lot just stood there and ate
-
I went Mustafa at night...(late at night)...and wanted to buy grapes. My eyes nearly popped out when i see the package were ripped open (it was weighed with the price tag), and half content are almost gone...

In Japan and here where I live, you can peel the "inferior" exterior leaves during produce selection. They provide a container to catch the waste.Originally posted by the Bear:well, i see lots of people furiously peeling away leaves from vegetables (i think they were the 'inferior leaves' ) then putting the 'finished product' in plastic bags for weighing..
oh.. that brings me to the plastic bags for bagging produce.. you do not need to tear off about 15 bags to bag 3 pears
Have to say that shopping here is a nice experience. You're greeted as soon as you enter the store. Salespersons are helpful for the most part and best of all, there is no pushing/shoving from other shoppers. (There is some pushing/shoving in Japan though.) This is thing that bugs me no end when I'm visiting Sg. -
I think the worse are parents who dun rein in their kids when they are running around like little demons and creating a nuisance..
You know how dangerous it is when you are pushing the trolley and a kid just appears in front of your trolley >< -
You know how in Oz you can weigh the nuts & dried fruits and buy in small portion.....
Many international students esp Asian students used to just eat it as if it's free. Think nowadays things have changed a little bit and I think the students have been made aware that this is considered theft. -
Or the Kids pushing their trolley into your back of your legs!!! oouchh...
and the parents just stare at you..you were blocking the kids....what hell!! -
run them over
i've actually done that... accidentally of course
and then the little brat got clipped behind the ear by his folks tooOriginally posted by elindra:I think the worse are parents who dun rein in their kids when they are running around like little demons and creating a nuisance..

I dunno how those morons can actually eat the fruits and not buy really
I bet a spear cannot penetrate their thick hide
Are you sure that was an accident Bear? -
Don't parents these days explain to their children that due to their height adults can't really see them especially when they are shopping
-
I have seen people tearing extra plastic bags to bring for home use....damn cheapskate lah...win liao lor.Originally posted by the Bear:well, i see lots of people furiously peeling away leaves from vegetables (i think they were the 'inferior leaves' ) then putting the 'finished product' in plastic bags for weighing..

Sheltered brat.Originally posted by stellazio:I don't even know that you can try fruits in the supermarket.
-
Actually I dun toOriginally posted by Wanda:Sheltered brat.
At least not unless there is a fruit promoter there
And if I sample, I do try to buy something unless I really don't like it -
fark them! I hate ppl who is inconsiderate!
-
I used to refuse all samples from promoters, but nowadays I try everything the promoters shove into my face.Originally posted by elindra:Actually I dun to

I like the MonMilk and coffee sampling.

yes..
in fact, the brat ran into me because he was playing tag with his equally obnoxious sister
oh.. did i tell you guys about the time i ran over a little brat with my bicycle?
there are stairs down the hill onto the cycling track.. but the view of the track from the stairs is obscured by this huge concrete thingy.. there are signs there telling people to look out for bicycle traffic.. but the brat just appeared in front of me and i ran him over with my bike
after that, he was scolded and spanked by his folks...
wasn't my fault at all because there were actually skid marks on the track made by my tires from my trying to stop
but still, the brat was run overOriginally posted by elindra:It is theft

I dun sample from promoters unless it is something I'm interested inOriginally posted by Wanda:I used to refuse all samples from promoters, but nowadays I try everything the promoters shove into my face.

Is MonMilk nice? I saw it but it didn't look very nice to me so I refused the sample -

it's MonSatanMilk
genetically engineered milk to turn you into broccoli-eating zombiesOriginally posted by elindra:I dun sample from promoters unless it is something I'm interested in

MonMilk (Mongolian) milk is nice when chilled...taste creamy. I don't mind sampling coz even if I don't buy the product then, I may buy it on subsequent visits.Originally posted by elindra:I dun sample from promoters unless it is something I'm interested in
