In Reply to: is it just me with sales people? posted by Doglova on Saturday, 26. May 2012 at 18:14 Bali Time:
Imagine combining the pink slips with dozens of totally uninterested sales people, who are all apparently incapable or unwilling to actually interact in any way with you.
When you eventually find your way, with the several absolutely necessary slips of paper, you generally discover that you've missed the one TOTALLy essential piece. Eventually, after much negtotiation, generally fairly heated, between several Assistants, you are allowed, reluctantly, to proceed to the cash register, which genrally is in service from the 1920's. Shoppping in India is an art form....
I saw one American tourist in tears of fury and frustration.
It made Bali appear efficient!
