Suits You, Sir!

Speaking of shopping, one thing you notice when you're shopping here is the number of sales assistants there are. This is especially true in electronics shops, where you can't turn sideways without bumping into one! I don't know how they can all make a living, but I guess they do! Herself reckons that each of them is an expert on a certain type of gizmo. By the looks of things, retailers like Harvey Norman seem to have an expert for every gizmo they sell!

You'd think that service would be great with so many employees milling around, but you'd be wrong. If you're not buying their gizmo, they couldn't care less as it's not going to be a commission for them. It is quite strange to walk unhindered amongst a gaggle of indifferent sales assistants, but I guess it's worse when they won't leave you alone!
