10 Reasons not to shop

Why should people NOT shop during the Great Singapore Sale?

1. You will empty your wallet and credit card account for 1 month and spend the other 11 months earning it back.

2. A Sale is not a sale when they MARK-UP the prics and then give a discount and it turns out to be an original prices.

3. Who wants last year's fashion which have been worn and tested by many shoppers during trial and taste test in the changing room when you can get it off rack.

4. There is always a queue. And you need to wait. Shudders!

5. You can't have a refund. Even though you did nothing wrong. It's just that you came in the wrong month.

6. There is always a traffic jam and you spend an hour finding a car park space and another hour queuing up to pay your car park ticket.

7. You emit more pollution with unneccessary cheap "sale" plastic bags when you could cut down more Amazon trees and take their branded paper bags.

8. Your credit card gets maxed out by another person.

9. Screaming aunties who are buying the same underpants for their husbands.

10. There is the Great Malaysian Sale during August.
