Finally!! the mega sales is over...Have you managed to buy anything over the few weeks? As for me, I did not! why you ask? a few reasons I guess...nothing to buy, price wasn't right and the traffic.
The traffic is rather the major turn off. Firstly, it takes almost an hour to get into the mall, then another half an hour to 45 minutes to look for a parking lot. Once in the mall, there's payment counter traffic...*sigh*
And for the price matter, aside from the genuine mega sales outlet some of these shops are out to do a quick buck. On a normal day, they sell their goods at 20-30% off the suggested retail price trying to be competitive - they tell you its their normal price. And during the sales period, they provide 10-20% discount off the suggested retail price and they heavily advertise it. Consumers that don't do their research will think its a good buy but hey! you might be able to get a better bargain after the sales... :-)
and speaking on sales and mall...it seems malaysians' favourite past time is shopping or *lepaking* at the mall...even Richard and Shaz from Mix.fm confirms this...the other favorite past time is eating :-) and as their question, what else can we do besides shopping and eating on weekends?
