Shopping
Hot 4 |
When I plan to buy something, especially something of clothes and some other items, I just go into the shop and find the right ones. After having them on and feeling ok, then ask the sales clerk to have them packed meanwhile pay them off. This usually does not cost me much time, maybe no more than twenty minutes, then I have what I want.
Sure, online shopping is widely accepted by people, particuarly the young who is more likely to buy something online. Apart from paying phone bills and some others online, I just buy stuff from shops, such as my suits, shoes, and other necessities. This could be time-saving and the clerk also feels good to serve such a customer never asks too much.
Deal of my shopping. It is my way.

- Good. By reading what friends write here, I can compare my daily life with those of friend elsewhere. It is quite interesting you know.
I don't do much shopping online because I can't really feel the product by hand and besides I don't know what it is really like when it arrives. However, I do buy some electronics and phone related items online because they are reasonable in price and quality easy to judge.
About buying from shops, I buy most of my things from the local shops. I normally know what I need to buy so it would quick and buy the things I need in one shot. Occasionally, I would walk around the shops to see if there is anything I need. Sometimes, I am lazy to prepare my own food so I got out to eat nearby. Here we have lots of food shops Korean, Japanese, Thai etc. New restaurants and food shops open once in a while. Some time ago, I ate a bowl of Korean Noodle from a new shop. I thought it can't be too expensive. When it came to my table, it was a big big bowl with lots of different vegetables and things added to the noddle. Finished eating and full stomach. OK. Paying time. Oh my god, 75 Yuan for a bowl of noodle? Daylight robbery. I asked why price so high, the staff told me the cook is famous. Haha.. who cares about the cook for a bowl of noodle? Damn, never eat from this shop again.
I like to buy from the shops I know. I won't ask too much unless I am quite sure that I would buy because most shop staff don't like it when you ask and don't buy. Everyone have their own shopping habit, but we should avoid giving the sellers too much trouble.

- indeed, it saves money for online shopping and it is more convenient too. But it may be not the same story in hk. Because hk is a shopping heaven. there is not too much price differences between martor and brick shop and vertual online shop for the daily using products in Hk . As I observed , the merchandiser in T-mall, or JD may be still a little bit higher than hk local buying for the exported products ...But , too much browsing for the merchandiser in online shop is wasting the time. So, I think it has better when you have something wanted to buy , then go for the shop, not matter the real or the vertual shop. Otherwise, you are not gonna to know where the money goes because there is too much commercial activity , promotion, price down , sales etc, which allures you to spend the money. ahaha, the double eleven is upcoming, do you expect to buy some?

- Ahh.. yes, you got it right. Here in HK everything is easy to buy and plenty of choices, so online shopping is not that popular here. Every week I go with friends to Shamshuipo to buy all the things I need. It is a lower end shopping area but there everything is sold there at low price. I bought my cellphone, computer, lighting, Jeans, T-Shirts and most of the things from there. All prices are show, no cheating and no need to face those pressures from the intimidating sales people at the big stores.

- Yes, depends on the stuff we buy, and mostly we can just buy something as we want immediately in the shop, while as for something important we might choose to pick the ideal one for some time.

Five mins of picking a gold ring is really amazing. You are more fast than I am.

- Your story of noodle is more interesting than mine. And yes, I do like buy something as I want by choosing them in the shop, so then I can feel what it feels like. Though it is convenient to buy almost everything online, while I just like the way by myself.

- It's not about the shopping way, it's about you. You are this kind of person， in a rational methods. I believe if you had to buy something online, you would still act like this, search the right ones, check the sizes, and pay off, without asking too much questions. but for the ones who have choosing problems, even if they go to shops, they still try on and on, ask for the advices of her friends, and then.. change another shop..because they think there would be a better one waiting ahead..and maybe they bought nothing after hanging a whole day, and did the same thing on next rest day..

- The type of a person leads to the purchasing behavior. Yes, some are more likely to choose items from shop to shop, and finally still find it hard to make the final decision about the price, style, and color, and seize, etc. In fact, I just buy those stuff in shops and I think it is sure if I was doing online shopping, I also act as the way I do in a shop.
