One thing about shopping is that from time to time, we see angry and peeved out customers, literally screaming and making a scene out of some dispute that I think shouldn't even be a dispute. Hey, shopping is supposed to be an enjoyable experience where you see happy faces, happy smiles and overall, happy people. I don't know how many bad shopping experiences most people may have, but despite my age, I have seen a couple of awful scenes which I try to ignore. (Ha ha... It is interestingly weird why arguments and loud speaking commotions get the best out of me).
But when I kinda of look back on why shopping can turn ugly (Can't believe I actually take time to think about such things...Don't ask me), I attribute the reason to it is because people are THIRSTY. And its not their fault that they are, because they just get to engrossed in their desire to shop and have a good time that they fail to notice their hydration levels. And that could certainly lead to heightened emotions, headaches and a mild level of delirium.
That's why shopping malls just need to have more water coolers around in correct places so that people can get access to this lifesaving liquid (although when you are drowning, you don't need it...haha). And don't put water coolers at the toilets. Somehow they just don't match at all. In fact, I think it's disgusting. Preferably, I think it's better to have those water coolers with those nice, conical cups where it is definitely more hygienic.
Well, shopping centres certainly should provide FREE water, rather than force us to buy them at $1.00 per bottle (Can you believe it?!! Actually, in Singapore, it is understandable). In this hot, tropical country of ours, a gulp more of water will surely do the trick to keep our country a shopping paradise.(Well, hopefully it is.)

Nah, water coolers in shopping centres is not really a good idea. The areas around the dispenser will be wet and together with the polished-to-shine igneous tiles, it will be a fatal combo. on top of that, hawkers in the food courts would complain.
No, some people are just bad tempered by nature you see. And they honestly think that because they are consumers they are the biggest, which is of cos, bullshit. If you want people to be nice to you, then be nice to them in the first place. We as sales girls, are not for these people who thinks they are very classy/rich and so can throw their weight about.
Then, there are those who are just so fussy and calculative. I mean, if you wanna shop, just be more generous. It's not like you r in a foreign place and we try to quote u extremely high prices.
I also blame our fast society as to why people are so impatient. I think this mentality problem still needs to be corrected and would take a long time before Singaporeans all can become gracious shoppers.
hear hear! water coolers for all! I mean u can't say it's troublesome cos nus has them all around and the canteen vendors still sell their coffee and fruit juice. Similarly, starbucks (or what ever coffee shop it is called) dun seem to suffer much in changi airport.
