Re: Things they don't tell you in Starbucks

My turn now, Carrie.

Bladder cleared, hand moisturized with Body Shop Lotion in those RM2 premium toilets.

Have a Starbucks Barista get you a comfy sofa seat with "Let me get you a drink" service provided.

Have a Kwai lou (because Caucasian doesn't sound cool) ask you "Can I share a seat with you?"Truly international Exposure: Phillipinos, Punjabs, Americans, Chinese, Koreans, Japanese.

View on the left: People buying luggage, on the right people queuing for drink.


Well, Starbucks is truly an experience. They don't sell RM12 caffeine and sugar laden drinks for nothing eh?

***
Speaking of experience; I went shopping with a friend and oh well, let me rephrase: She's doing the shopping.

We went to Thomas Sabo; and she spent thousand bucks on her plastic for a birthday gift; and I get to be opinionated- if it's the right term for that. "Oh that would look nicer..." Priceless. Of course, check out their designs. Although who knew Charm braceletes (silver and cubic zirconia) could be of a price of an arm and leg; ok, maybe gold.

Business is very good though. When we were there, about 5 people walked in and bought something. The sales girls can be TERRIBLE but they can still sell it. I mean, everything is pretty much bull; like i.e. "The Snake represents Energy and it's being different". Hello?

Which proves to say; people don't buy because of the price. I mean if you can put a "value" on a piece of fugly rubber shoe (make it comfy so that people won't notice its ugliness) and call it Crocs, people would run for it.

My word of advice: Get a rich friend, so you can get them to buy you an exsy pressie if they forget your birthday.Or better make them forget it.
