now shopping at NTUC is terrible. Say I still stick to Zip DWL because it's cheap and good, NTUC brand cheap but no quality.They're trying to impose NTUC brand empire.
Worst now they're stretching themselves w/ duplicating outlets.
I think hor, it'll come to a point more outlets dun mean better bargaining power because average outlet turnover would become a miserable figure.

Tell me about itIt's like when my friends lied to me to get me to errr what is that boy band in the past....F4???
Anyway there was some free concert at Junction 8 and they knew that if they told me go see boy band 100% I won't turn up
So they told me long time never meet go there catch up
KNS I go there I was like ....wah how come Junction 8 is so crowded today
They told me Junction 8 everyday is like that de till the band turned up and I realised I kenna cheated
Btw as a female, I cannot stand a HORDE of females screaming and fainting at some boy band too

I know, their packaging issue.But I guess I might be right.. soon NTUC would find problems bargaining for better rates as the volume is diluted w/ more outlets.

pinky you're right abt e promo
They could really be promo those not so sellable items.
But I find it weird, they still need to committ a big quantity (supplier knowing they've so many outlets).
Want to die is it?
Like big 4.7kg Dynamo... NTUC hard to sell cos ppl sure kpkb heavy to bring home from town centre... Mum and pop shop some places can sell. Still promo.

If not they spend more money to save money without realising it
eg. Going all over Singapore to look for the best price of something when the savings aren't much
In the end the cost of time (most costly) and transportation add in it's dunno how many times more expensive than the 10 - 20 dollars they save

Yup
And actually it's only cheaper for us due to the exchange rate
But eating out in Malaysia is actually very expensive to the locals if you consider their pay and the amount for a meal
