Shop til you drop!! Or not.

Shopping. It is probably any men and women would want to do for the rest of their life, given they have the opportunity to do so (like if you're stinking rich). Maybe some dont, but i know most men and women do.

What are the things that would make you lose interest in shopping? Well I have a few.

Annoying and rude shop/store assistants: The moment you step foot in a shop specially those high-end ones, you are completely judged by the way you look, the bag you are carrying, the shoes you're wearing (how uncomfortable you look with it, this is important.) what cellular phone you have n hand and with how you dress. If you do not pass their standard, you're lucky if someone would actually pay attention to you. That is being rude. I remember having this story for quite some time now, based on my experience. There's this one man and as what i have said, if you judge him by the way he look well, i would say that he's a farmer of some sort and i am being generous, some people might actually say that he's a beggar. Although, we were just in SM i would really mind wearing a worn-off jeans, a ragged and really dirty one and slippers with a lot of mud on it, a baseball cap which looks ancient and an old shirt, its light pink but you can tell that the original color was red. We were at the appliance section in SM. He was alone, literally, without any company or  sales person beside him. He really got my attention with the way he dressed himself so i was curious that i have been eyeing him for a couple of minutes. He was on the flat-screen TVs aisle. It wasn't that long before he stopped roaming around checking out those TVs, i was thinking maybe that 50inch screen is what he wanted. I was just a few steps away from him by the way. He called for a sales guy, one from the pack of 3 sales person that was just checking him out came. I didn't pay much attention for their silent conversation, it was short though and then the man ordered this 50inch screen in front of him so i looked back again, the sales guy obviously in shock didnt move for a few seconds and went on to assist the man with his order. I was shocked too. The sales guy asked the man for the mode of payment, he asked for the man's credit card, if he owns one. Then the man told him that he doesnt own any cards at all. The sales guy asked in full doubt and uncertainty "ahm... pano po... sir? ahhhhhhh.. cash po ba?" he doesn't even know if he would call him "Sir" which is so damn rude in so many levels. Anyway, the man pulled out a small bag, I didn't notice this one when i first saw him. It goes along with his outfit, it was untidy as well. He said, "cash ang ibayad ko sana, kaso bibilangin ko pa ito." He took his money out from the bag, its thick and all in 1000 peso bill. Then came the riot, the sales person assisting him called for a few back up, the sales guy told the other sales guy to help the man with his money and assist him to the cashier and he asked the other guy to get one unit so they can test it. Suddenly the man became so special. The screen costs around 100k i think. Its branded and well, its 50inch. I was thinking maybe inside of that man's head:  "in your faces jack-ass!!" Hah!
The annoying ones. Those who dont let you off their sight kind of sales person. I know, its their job but they dont have to ruin the shopping craze for you, do they? I remember those 2 dumb guys at a toy store. They are both offering me toys from their respective brands i guess, im checking it out one at a time so i can see which one's better. Apparently, the other sales person has a patience with a length of a ruler, he was pissed at the other guy telling him that he was the one who assisted me first and they end up fighting i dont think they even notice me scram. Haha!

SALE: For clothes and shoes ONLY. I dont really like buying shoes or clothes on sale items. They dont usually have other sizes anymore, my size, whether its shoes or clothes. Those on sale are the unchosen ones. The left outs. It is very rare that you would grab a good buy on sale.

Long lines with unethical shoppers: Long lines is a Big No. Even if i have picked out the things that i really wanted to buy already, if i see the long Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine to the cashier i always go "Hmm.. never mind" drop the things/basket down and leave. Sometimes you have no choice but to endure that long line, some people would really go down to stripping your patience off and lose your sanity. Example of those shoppers with insufferable attitude, the one who would go to the line and leave their shopping baskets to save their post and continue shopping. Once they get back after a couple of minutes and their basket was left out and stayed right where they are because obviously its a basket, it doesnt move and substitutes you on the line while you continue shopping, they would go mad and claim that they should be somewhere else, in front of someone or what not. They are annoying.

Undecided shopping buddy: I always opt to shop alone because of this reason.When i shop, i know what i want, i get what i want, paid for it and im done. Some people would like to strip each and every item off the shelf of the whole store or the mall to check on stuffs and go on with it for hourssssss. Always ends up without getting anything though and goes back to their first choice and do the same thing all over again. Arent they amazing? :)

As much i as enjoyed shopping, these things really ticks me off while Im at it.

Holidays are fast approaching so, Have a Smart and Happy Shopping Everyone!! :)
