Tall guys are so convenient. ;)
Okay, I know I said the opposite before. :P But hey, I was kidding anyway.
You see, in supermarkets they are smart. They never place the cheapest stuff at eye level, but either at the top or at the bottom of the shelf (more often at the bottom, so that not even tall people will see them) But then, the "advantage" (for them, at least...certainly not for me!) of putting it at the top is that short people can't reach them.
The other day I was in Champion (the supermarket near my place) and I needed to buy dishwashing liquid. I always buy the cheapest kind, since it washes very well and I don't see any need for fancy perfumes (my food smells nice enough, thank you very much :P). But...it was at the topmost shelf. Usually I can reach one on the edge of the shelf by standing on tiptoe, but there wasn't any near the edge...so I had to look for someone to get it for me. I guess they were counting on people either not seeing the cheapest item...or else giving up and taking another one because they can't reach it. No such luck with me! I know it's there, and if I can't get a kind shopper to help me, I'll ask one of your workers. There!

I have experienced this too. But it was long time ago. I was trying to take a dishwash which was placed on the topmost shelf. Do you know how i took it? There was no salesgirl nearby for me to get help. So, my sister and I waited until no one passed by and we used our long umbrella to get it. My sister was with me at that time, so she pull it down using the holder of the umbrella and i get it. Haha...
ReplyDeleteWah...not bad, not bad...but then, my umbrella is foldable and doesn't have a hooked handle, so even if I have it with me I still have to ask someone! :P
