Not about sales but about shopping



Pay attention to your cashier lane

This post is inspired by an experience I had and from here. Both incidents happened at Carrefour in MidValley Megamall.

In many supermarkets these days, there are usually certain designated lanes for cash only purchases or express lanes for people buying 10 items or less. These lanes are designed to speed up the payment process so customers do not have to wait in line so long to pay for say, a bottle of water.

Unfortunately, there are people who like to spoil it for others by failing to read the sign that says “10 items or less” or who intentionally try to bulldoze they way through with a trolleyload of items. It then comes to the cashiers to enforce the ruling. However, many don’t and these rude people get away with it.

The next time you go to a supermarket, please read the signs at the cashier. If you have more than the necessary items to join the express lane, or intend to pay by credit card, please do not pretend that you cannot read or cannot understand the signs. It takes all of us to make shopping a much more pleasant experience.

    think of it this way…when the cashier tells the obnoxious ppl with > 10 items to queue elsewhere, they will make a hoo-ha, complain etc etc which takes up even more time.

    its also up to us customers to tell them off, LOUDLY. hopefully they will b embarassed enough to queue elsewhere
