what is the point

what is the point of asking, say, whether the mattress will become hot and uncomfortable after a while when the person you are talking to is the promoter. of course the answer will be 'no', the truth nothwithstanding. there is definitely no way she's going to say 'yes' and have you walk away without a purchase right? right. and you know that. so when you are asking, what are you really looking for? if she says 'no', you think she's just lying to get more business; if she says 'yes', you'll not want to buy it. you just can't take her word for it in this case. solution? ask a person who does not have a vested interest in your purhase of the item.


why is it that when we shop, we invariably end up messing up the display? especially neatly folded stacks of clothes. they are really prone to being reduced to huge mountains of untidy garments. one reason could be that it is difficult to refold the garments and replace it in exactly the same way after you've tried it on, especially if you are already carrying many shopping bags. we should all just try our best to be more considerate, putting things back in the same location, at least, when we decide that we don't want that item after all.


i just bought a nice pair of white shoes! one tip: medicated oil is really good for removing stains etc from pvc. the salesgirl at the cp ice lemon tee is good. she is attentive and polite when serving customers and gives helpful and constructive comments. yet she is not too pushy. it just makes shopping there a pleasure and i won't mind buying something from her again.
