A Note To Supermarket/Hypermarket/Department Stores Staff and Customers

I like buying things at supermarkets and hypermarkets. They offer a variety of goods not available in your regular kedai runcit. From frozen foods to snacks to high protein bread flour. You name it, they have it. But there are a few things I think will make shopping experience much better.


1. Stop asking me if i have a members card. No I don't have a members card. If I had a card I would have given it you in the first place. I'm not senile like those kiasu aunties for god sake.


2. Speaking of kiasu, please tell your kiasu customers not to queue in the express line if they bought two trolleyloads of groceries. I know theres a sale going on but there are customers who don't give a hoot if there is a sale or not. We just want to buy our  groceries, coupon free.

3. The express line is called so for a reason. That is for people who buy less than 5 items and are in a hurry. Cashiers need to work faster and not ask every teenage customer if they have a members card. Only aunties carry members card. And if you have like 10 items but all of them are of the same kind, you are not entitled to queue there too.

Umm.. Sorry kid. You cant queue here. 

4. Stop hiring stalkers. Or thats just what they are supposed to be. Salesgirls tend to follow us every.single.step like we gonna steal or something. Especially in the cosmetics and toiletries department where they have those kaypoh salesgirl  asking us what do we want to buy and suggesting this product and that product. Look missy, I know what I'm buying okay.


5. Its not called "environmentally friendly" if you pack fruits and veggies in individual plastic wrappers only to be put in a plastic bag which is then put in a "reusable shopping bag". And meats & fishes too. 2 layers of plastic bag? I mean the fishies and critters in the ocean would not like that. You guys use plastic like theres no tomorrow. I'm just sayin'.
