Shoppers Stop

I went to Shoppers’ Stop in Saket, MGF Mall today in search of something very specific. It is shiny and sleek and full of bright lights, great displays, no shoppers and loads of staff.


I found what I was looking for.Two items.


The girl wrote their codes on a handwritten receipt and asked me to go to the till.


Off I went.


At the till a young man looked at the receipt and tried to put the information into the till.


He was unable to do so. So he went to her and picked up the goods and tried to scan them into the till. The scanning did not work so he then tried to input the coding of the products into the till. This did not work either so he went and asked her for two other products and then finally inputed the information of the other products into the till.


Now why could I have not gone to the till and paid directly you just have to ask???


A bill finally.


I paid instantly and waited a little more.


A till receipt was issued and I went with that one and the handwritten one to the girl who looked at both, kept one and gave me the products.


I attempted to walk out but at the door I was stopped.


A security guard had to check the receipt in the bag against the products, which he failed to do and then stamp the receipt one final time. What should have taken 5 minutes took 25.


SHOPPERS STOP – you bet – Oh my,what an irony in the name!!
