DignityPower TerashiLeonGoken I vanished because I completely lost inspiration for Pokemon roleplays. I'm back because playing Pokemon ROM hacks has re-lit that spark. But I killed my family's internet playing multiplayer Minecraft (never again) so I'm stuck with my chibi-sized phone until the first week of December somewhere. Speaking of ROM hacks, I have a level 71 Zoroark named Subbarao. What up. /hugs Welcome back o.o Today I was out all day, let's just say SIGHS. In the mall, I felt like a tourist saying 'look at those wild creatures!' ... seriously, the PEOPLE, just. omg. I haz stories now. |

Espeon_Commander *sits down cross legged* Story timez?
Well, let's start at the beginning then ;D I go to class in taxi and back every day so the driver usually has ~something~ interesting to say. There's this mall really close to my home (I ended up going there today) and there was recently an organized illegal event of some sort that I dunno the word for. Basically, a mob got together and went in all at once, broke glass windows/doors of the stores inside and stole all the stuff they could, even kids were involved. It was clothes/technology/etc anything valuable. This happened last Saturday I think so good thing I didn't go biggrin Anyways, they had to do something about it but since they were still in that process, the stores had to rise prices because ofc of the $ problem on top of the mob that went in. This made some government-thing (Indepabis) closed temporarily some stores because they had prices too high. Bringing more problems to those stores. Their solution? Giving discount of 30%-70% starting yesterday.
Now around here, people get paid the 15th and 30th so people had money and from what I hear, of course, everything sold. Though when I went in the mall today, it was just laughable. The Sony store used to have a plasma tv and other stuff in the front window - they had a flower instead. Most of the places that sold clothes like Tommy either had REALLY long lines to enter or were empty. And by empty I mean only sold like 4 style of shirt/pants for each gender and the rest of the store was completely closed. Also, the three bigger places (Epa-Diafano-Dorsay) had the national guard there and you could only enter from the back door so lol. This isn't all... |

Yeah I've been reading the stories about that lately. Sounds like businesses are near fearful of the government and are being bullied to drop their prices. |

Oh yea, in the pharmacy, you have to take a ticket and wait for your number to get called. They were on the #80 when I got #33... x.x
This ticked me off the most; it happened in the grocery store which is inside of the mall. I grabbed some of my favorite treat and went ahead to make the line to buy - there were like five lines with four people ahead so it didn't really matter which I picked. Though I found myself with a cart in front of me that was just full of food but there was no one around (and they never arrived LOL) but in the mean time, since the line wasn't moving, I just stood there with my little treat. And then this woman came with some stuff in her hands and stood behind me, I noticed her when she said "I'll be right back, I'm going to get a cart." I just sort of grunted and hardly acknowledge her because... well she expected me to save her spot so to speak and I find it rather rude to anyone who already has a cart. ~-~
She stood there for only a moment with her cart until she moved to another shorter line - until she noticed that the guy in front of her in the other line had a 'closed' sign and, of course, returned to my line. But I just looked away since another girl had taken her place with a full cart. "I was here" she pushed her cart in - pushing my back as well (something SO common and it annoys me!) and the girl responded "but you got out of line"
sighs. the woman then said "no, I just went to look at something but I was in line." the girl had no choice but to back away a bite but then the woman said "what, do you expect me to say 'excuse me'?" and, even though she didn't notice, I turned to her with a furious look. If I had been that girl, I would have just pushed the woman's cart out of the way.
ASDF.

SubonicXP DignityPower ...I'm not too late for that safari thing right? Nope, it ends at the hour. Yeah I've been reading the stories about that lately. Sounds like businesses are near fearful of the government and are being bullied to drop their prices.
I think I'll sit it out then - /tired.
A professor of rights from my university said that the government was hiring lawyers to go out and close down those businesses with "high prices". x.x
Espeon_Commander Yikes. That's crazy.... And the government sounds like a genius for forcing the price drops on stores that got their stuff stolen.
-nodsnods- I wonder how many people will get fired. Even though what we (also) NEED is good customer service. -_- |

I believe it, on the lawyers part. The Venezuelian government has not been shy about their true goal, a complete socialist (if not communist) society. There is a reason why they just love good ole communist Cuba. They won't stop until no one owns anything privately and the state owns it all. Sorry if I'm being harsh, I just hate seeing power hungry people ruining peoples' lives. Seems to be happening everywhere these days. |
