| I admit this MegaBite (Dashidai) is a bit special... one reason (excuse?) I can find might be that it's better for us, customers, that they handle only plastic cards than the dirty cash, since same people (hands) will be handling the food!... however, how clean are those plastic cards, I do not know :p
errr, I ... don't think shopping experience in Shanghai shopping malls is more complicated than elsewhere... never been to the States, so I cannot comment on the shops there... In many European shopping malls and Asian shopping malls that I have to go to a certain cashier counter with my credit card too... ok, maybe the casher counter is closer... The big difference could be the long queue, since almost nowhere has such a big population :-) However, haha, have you ever heard that people started to queue at Louis Vuitton and Galeries Lafayette in Paris? ...because of increasing Chinese tourist... :-D well, Joshua Allen still makes the point about people keeping cutting in front of us... yes, it still happens, but let's be fair, the situation is improving... at least many local Shanghainese already learnt to queue... and even you happen to encounter someone who does not follow the rule, try to say 'please queue', most people will then go to the end of the line... ...if people just keep improving behaviour at the same speed as the GDP growth, hehe, it will not be too bad when '08 Olympics comes... |
