UIBE, 32ºC, hazy
Over the past six weeks, I have made daily trips to the 潮湿 local grocery store and 7-Eleven, but I have not been into a large hypermarkets. Today, I needed to buy a few toiletries that the潮湿 local store did not stock, so I ventured to a hypermarket.
I had walked into an Asda, I was sure. The only difference was that all the labels were in Chinese. The舞美 hypermarket offered everything: clothes, stationary, electronics, home appliances, food. As I made my way to the toiletries section, I observed dozens of sales assistants everywhere. I guessed they were there to help you if needed help, but considering there were hardly any customers at the time, I was a little bemused at how many people were on shift. They weren’t even stocking shelves – they were literally just standing there.
When I came to pay, there was a long queue, and just one till. Yet several unoccupied shop employees were watching on as we customers waited at the single checkout that was open. It didn’t make any sense to me – pure bemusement!
