Out & About #182 | Boxing Day Shopping + Hangouts

12/26/2015

0 Comments

 
I anticipated the worst on Boxing Day. Crowds had swarmed Square One and parking had been scarce at Erin Mills throughout the entire week, so it was only fitting that I have a game plan in place for the day of.

Rolling over to silence my alarm at 7:00 AM wasn't something I was very keen to do, but I was even less keen about having parking troubles or dealing with long lineups. Pulling into the lot around 7:30 AM though, I realized that I had been unnecessarily eager abut the whole ordeal: it was relatively still empty. I slowly backed into the very first spot and collected myself in preparation.

The Face Shop hadn't opened yet - reasonable, seeing as there were still 25 minutes left until opening hours.

No open Wi-Fi networks could be found, so I ended up wandering around the food court and admiring the sunrise in the meantime.

Upon finally witnessing the metal panels slide open, I rushed in and grabbed the items I wanted. It was a much more serene process than I imagined: no lineups and no angsty customers.

​Unfortunately, the only member of staff at that time was a half-awake manager who was evidently missing a few screws. Even with my list in hand, a total of twenty minutes were required to manually apply the discounts, forget to provide me with several discounts, forget to delete an item from the list after conducting a price check, and fail to provide me with a price adjustment due to system limitations.

They didn't have shampoo nor loose powder in stock either, but I settled for grabbing all the products I would develop a potential usage for before zipping off to buy breakfast.

Lunch was skipped as a result of friend hangouts, so a late mid-day snack of Pork and Leek Dumplings and QQ Milk Tea followed some several hours after sessions of mahjong and DDR at Playdium.
