discountssssssssssssss

now a days we are on a total shopping spree. its like come saturday and sunday and all of us (my friends and me) are either at Lifestyle or shoppers stop or Hyderabad Central or some other shopping plaza. last saturday we were at one of these so called shopping plazas / malls / whatever-they-are-called. the main purpose was to buy a pair of goggles.

now first of all in case goggles are the main product the first and foremost thing required is a mirror. no make it atleast five mirrors. big size. equal to the size of our ego. but the strangest thing was in the entire goggle section there was only one mirror. now picture this.. its summer.. people want to buy goggles. its saturday. people want to spend money. its hot. poeple are generally irritated. so with one mirror 1000 varieties of goggles, there was a literal stampede.. that is stamping legs. big way. i stamped a guy's leg and poor guy shouted and just ran out of the section. sorry.
finally after trying all the goggles available (after which the sales guy was literally in tears..), we managed to literally grab one beautiful piece. GRAB is the operational word because of teh queue (remember the sequence summer-saturday-money-blah-blah). its a very competitive world. survival of the fittest.

so finally while purchasing my friend remembers that he is a member of some club / group/ watever of that shop. so you get some points every time you make a purchase. we bought stuff worth 4500 and he gets some 35 points. (and there was some free gift voucher worth 500 on purchase of Rs2000. so we got TWO vouchers.). but that was not the STUPIDITY. the thing was there was a BUMPER LUCKY DRAW. for people who has more than 1000 points THEY GET 100 RUPESS DISCOUNT on any purchase. WHAT A JOKE...
after shopping for some RS 10,000 all you get is a discount of Rs 100.
thats the story. and all this is supposed to be customer focus BULLS_ _ _.

and till recently one of the malls used to charge Rs10 for parking in case you DONT make any purchase. BULLS_ _ _ again.

and one of the best part of Hyderabad is our very own Hussain Sagar. Lovely.
and we have a beautiful place to hang out. its called eat street. and poeple go there mostly to enjoy the beautiful weather. FULL STOP. bcoz imagine all the mosquitoes
which fall in food. but what they have done is, bcoz the revenues are like 3 minus 5, they have decided to put up a restaurant on the first floor. PATHETICEST idea. no lights. poeple really dont knw wat they are eating. and people are not allowed to go up unless you want to eat there. atleast even if they put an entrance ticket of Rs 5, poeple are ready to buy. but food is a bad idea.

inspite of all these stupid ideas, all tehse malls / hangout areas are still reeling under losses. didnt still get over their break even point. (do i sound all-knowing-MBA professional??)

i think i cribbed enough. thats enough of cribbing.
