We went out shopping today to a well known textile retailer....my wife wanted to get a piece of cloth for her blouse and I wanted to get some as a gift to my elder sisters...the sale girl told us that there is a promotion and price reduction at the upper level of the store...actually we were not concerned at all about sale or price reduction.....on her insistence we went up and did our selection...we selected a good piece with the special price and then pick another...but soon the sale girl told us that the second piece we pick is not in the special price category....it is on the same shelve as the one we have selected...and they insist that it was wrongly place there and that the price for the piece we selected is different .....and I soon began to feel being cheated in brought day light....so I asks to see the manager....she did not want to do so...so I insist and she eventually call someone....but to my dismay no supervisor or someone senior came to give us an explanation....I insists that the boss came over and soon someone came and He a supervisor of a sort, instead of helping to explain and make thing easy for us customer...keep insisting that it is normal that such thing happen and that cloths are misplace at different place....well as usual I did not like the way thing were going and they are now putting the blame on us for not understanding the situation....so not to get into further argument with them....told my wife that we should not buy any thing from this shop...to me as a customer I am right...and that if shopping makes me unhappy, why should I shop...I love to shop not because I really need all those things, it is just that I enjoy shopping....in this case.... this episode with those sale's people does not at all bring happiness to my wife and me...., instead it really makes me angry of being cheated....does not they know that the customer is always right.....in this case I am sure we were right....it is our money and if we are not happy with the situation.... then is our prerogative to makes the decision....so we decide not to continue to do the shopping there and left the store disappointed with the attitude of the staff of this store.....Kuala Lumpur is full of shops so we shall go where we are treated well and making our shopping an enjoyable one....I am always careful when there are offer or sale...it is sometime just a gimmick to get us to buy old stuffs...so I would rather pay a higher price during normal day rather then buy cheap stuff at sales....for we all must enjoy shopping...in a country like Malaysia....we already have everythings....so shopping and buying is just a pleasure and an enjoyment ...if it turn otherwise then it is not worth shopping and spending money of things that we do not really needs....Both my wife and me love to go shopping or browse at the shopping Mall and most of the time we end of buying things for ourselves or for gifts to friends...for we love doing that.....My friends...at this age...to me it is the time to give.....and enjoy giving...I believe in giving because in doing so it makes the receiver of gifts happy..... and of course we in turn are happy as well.....it ends of with a happy, happy situation...in today language it is call a win, win situation....let us make this life a happy one for everyone that we encounter......we love doing that.....it makes us happy as well.....
