Things to consider if you intent to visit a Shopping Mall
Hello friends,
So, I am writing a general post about things you may
consider if you intent to visit a mall.
1)
This one is for the ladies... Please put your best
“footwear” forward... When I say best footwear it simply means wear your most
comfortable shoes or sandals when you visit a mall. It just makes your shopping
time a happy time. There are times escalators don’t function or may be under maintenance
so; doing all that walking in your heels won’t be a pleasant experience.
2)
Heading
to a mall on a Saturday or Sunday can be a challenge as quarter of the city’s
population would be present there. So, if you are going with a pure intention
of shopping then consider making it on a Friday. This way you will eliminate
the long queues in front on the trial room or billing counters. Trust me the
stores are more than welcoming to their customers during weekdays.. ha-haJ
3)
Off late every single store has started to
charge you for a shopping bag. When I happened to ask them their answer was we
are discouraging the use of plastic bags then why charge us to sell them why can’t
they offer recycled paper bags.. Grrrrr.. so, my suggestion to you all would be carry
your own bag from home instead of paying for it. This way you will remember to
keep all your things together without losing them.
4)
Never go shopping with a empty stomach as this
may bring down your energy levels and you may end up buying things you don’t even
like. So keep yourself energized if you are going to a mall. First eat and then
shop.
5)
Another important thing to remember when
shopping to take your bill after making
the payment and also take a quick look at it by counting the number of items
you bought and the no. of items you were billed for and also check for
applicable discounts so that you don’t pay extra. Keep your bills safely even
after getting home as you may realize that you need an exchange. Exchange of
items requires you to produce your original
bill and also retain the price tags and do get them exchanged before the deadline
set by the stores exchange policy programme.
6)
You will always see a mad rush in the mall and
this makes parking your vehicle a big challenge. As the parking lots are often congested
and cramped up you could be sent to the next or the next parking level area
example p1, p2 etc. so, do consider
giving the driver’s seat to an experienced driver as the entry to parking
levels is very narrow in most of the malls here.
7)
If you are asked to deposit your shopping bags
at the entrance of another store do remember to collect them back when you
leave their store. This happens so often to me that I forget my stuff and then
go back recollecting where I left it… so, don’t be forgetful.
8)
When eating out or having a coffee inside the
mall remember to collect your valuables like mobile phones , wallets/handbags. Your
phone camouflages with the other things kept on the table so pay good attention
before you leave your table. I always can’t seem to find my phone even when it
is in front of my eyes…:D
9)
Lastly,
keep your parking receipt and parking fees handy before you reach the boom
barrier at the time of exit so that you don’t waste your valuable time and also
of others.
These thoughts came to my mind from my experiences at the
mall. I hope these suggestions would help you in some way or the other. If you
have any suggestions that I missed please do drop a comment.
