Greenhills

Aunty Jelosy tipped us on going to Greenhills. On some days of the week, vendors set up shop and sell their rip off name brand products. These people are very street smart and highly skilled at persuading. The name of the game is to influence the customer to spend all their money in one shot at one booth. They use selling phrases like “first time buyer discount”, “I do only for you”, “I make cheap for you”, “What’s your budget, I make it happen”. One thing interesting is that the vendors might all be working for the same company. One situation that tipped me off was when I wanted to buy a shirt, but they didn’t have my size. The seller would run to another vendor and get the size for me. Instead of taking me to the other vendor who had the correct size, they wanted to make the sale. All this means that they work for the same person, but they work on commission. It leads me to believe that directions are given that each vendor needs to help each other for the sale, make sure that happens first, then each vendor will work for commission. Otherwise, you’d have all greedy vendors not helping each other out. I think we spent a combined $3,000 there in a matter of a few hours. It was crazy. Probably the best shopping in my life. And I hate to shop. Too bad there are no shopping carts, we would have spent $6,000 if that was the case.
