Like most shoppers, I am used to it. Apart from the odd bout of counter or check out rage that I've witnessed, most shoppers take it as part and parcel of the Modern Shopping Experience. If I can Help Somebody as I pass This Way as a reason for living. No religion can give you the latest wide screen DVD that will make you the envy of your friends. You've seen the commercial.
Shopping is life, leisure, and the pursuit of happiness with a credit card.
You'd think the retail sector would be so damn grateful they couldn't do enough for us. Not a problem. That's not asking for the moon. Instead it is we who are grateful that they even allow us into their emporiums, tricked out like a fantasy street in Disneyland, and feel guilty if we are caught just browsing with no intention to buy. Large notices stuck up outside the malls list possible misdemeanours on the shoppers' part, like no loud talking, no bad language, no pets, no skateboards, no coming in here just to sit and enjoy the air conditioning, but retailers have no set of rules to follow.
