this is a bitter one.

So, on my way back from tuitions I was craving a drink, and seeing that I was quite broke I stopped at the local ‘super store’ which is ironically quite small and made my towards the nestle juice cold storage thingy (this has a more precise name, im just having a stupid day) and there I find two robust women blocking my way, sitting as if they own the damn store (maybe they did.). As I chose between grape and apple the two women came up to me, asking me inane questions. Convo with female one went like this-

‘So ma’am what energy drink do you prefer’

‘Red bull’

‘Why?’

‘It gives me wings’

Smart woman chose to give up then, seeing that I wasn’t purchasing something known as ‘Bomba’. Now woman number two, who represented nestle yoghurt is after my ass to get weighed in the middle of the store, so that based on my weight she could be like SEE SEE you don’t have my yoghurt then you could be 90 pounds or whatever. She brings out a weighing scale, asks me to take of my shoes and hop on.

That’s when I chose to say – ‘WHAT THE FUCK?’

I mean, Jesus. Firstly, I am A-ok with my weight, and secondly, I already use the damn nestle yoghurt. And thirdly WHICH MARKETING IDIOT CAME UP WITH THIS STRATEGY? I mean, if you were ok with being weighed that would mean you weighed close to nothing and therefore didn’t need the damn yoghurt and  if you were bigger you would have serious issues with being weighed in the middle of the damn store with the  naswar chewing men giving you ‘seductive’ looks.

What happened to straight forward banners and free promotional stuff? When did obese women selling low fat goods become the new money making venture?



Im never going back to that store again, even if they do have the freshest cancer sticks in town. I might end up causing unnecessary blood shed.
