been helping my cousin's friends sell kids clothes for the past 2 days. it was definitely not my first time helping them out. but yesterday undoubtedly "open" my eyes to the sort of mothers that actuallt existed. i'll like to name just 2 "special" categories. they are the cheap mothers and the cheapskate mothers.
cheap mother- this mother was browsing thru the kids clothes. i noticed her particularly coz she had a scarf over her shoulder, covering whatever she was carrying in her arms. at first glance i thought that the scarf was just an accessory. but when i came out of the counter to appraoch her, i realised that one side of her top was pulled right up. it was then i realised that she was carrying a baby in her arm and apparently, she was breastfeeding her baby. i was totally grossed out by the sight of it. to top it off, she casually removed the baby from her breasts after the baby stop sucking her damn nipple. it drew quite alot of attention from the male species who happened to walk past her. damn this kind of mother. i'm not against breastfeeding or anything but how can she do this kind of thing in public?!? she shud carry milk powder and hot water if she's coming out to shop ya? or breastfeed the poor baby in the feeding room of something like that. *pukes*
the cheapskate mother- this kind of mother wants only branded goods for their darling children yet they could not bear to part with their money or coz they do not have the money to buy branded stuff for their children. the clothes that i am selling are from osk kosh, zara, ralph lauren, maxi maxi, the children's palace, gymboree and the like. some of these brands might not look familar to most singaporeans coz most of the brands are from either US or aus. anyway, this mother told me that she only wants branded clothes and asked me to recommand her some pieces. i did as i was told and upon learning the prices she sarted to find fault with the designs and material. i gave her a demim top finally and i could tell she likes tt top alot. next she turned to me and asked me, "'cuse me, what brand huh?" i told her that i'm not very sure what this brand is (to sidetrack, my boss also carries some not so famous kids brand. i dunno coz i dun have a kid and i seldom work for them) on hearing that she said she dun want the top anymore. i was like wtf! no money then dun act rich lar.
tired le.. shall continue tomorrow instead. zzzZZZz........
