Harry Potter and the ugly price war
As avid fans of Harry Potter await the highly-anticipated finale scheduled to be released for sale at 7.01am today, a price war has brought about an unexpected twist – four major bookstore chains have decided to not sell the book.
After seeing this new in the newspaper early this morning, my mind went blank for few seconds, trying to figure out what these few book stores are thinking... a book store not selling the most popular book is like KFC not selling chicken and McDonald not selling their burgers.
Its quite foolish of them to sell those book.. whats wrong with other hypermarket giving out discount for those book? do you mean that you also wont sell those book which popular give 10% discount cos they are not selling at the retail price? its all marketing strategies man! come on.
Lets see the reaction of the bookstores..
Kinokuniya -------> laughing and rolling on the floor. got computer for you to find your book. friendly staffs. got sell minerals and stones. artifacts too. some more got security guard. always got vouchers and discount for The Star readers on Sunday. Highly recommended.
Borders --------> laughing together gether with kinokuniya. very new and big bookstore. friendly staffs. got cushion to sit. air-cond very cold. place very quiet. got browser copy. Highly recommended.
MPH --------> sore loser. no brain. boycott MPH!! want to find one book also difficult. staff not friendly. all books in bad condition. type of books in the shelf not well organized. next time wanna buy books go kinokuniya or borders nia.
Popular ---------> sore loser. no brain. always wanna close early. last time 9.00 pm wanna go in they also stop me. when you are inside they wanna switch off the lights, switch off air-cond and suffocate you inside, staff give you face colour see. can hardly find staff except at the cashier. the cashier like to take their own sweet time. the bar code always got problem cannot scan + always din display price , cashier always need to run to dunno where then only take taxi come back (they dun trust the customers). staff not well trained. boycott popular!! but hoh.. can buy popular foolscape paper la.. quite cheap also for a big stack.
TIMES -------> big TIME loser (like their name).already not much customer still wanna boycott the sales of Harry Potter book. attempt suicide.
siao siao one la those bookstores. who cares bout them. dun sell dun sell la. so lansi.. BOYCOTT THEM!
