18.07.2012 | 雜貨士多

[Volume 7 Issue 7, #1478]
之前提到玻璃樽汽水, 有冇勾起大家對以前舊式雜貨士多嘅回憶呢(當然90後應該唔會知道係咩)?? 一個狹窄得冇多餘轉身位嘅店鋪, 但係近乎想買乜就有乜.. 除咗阿媽成日叫我去買糖買鹽買豉油, 放學之後我都會走去買啲零食, 然之後暱埋房間偷食, 哈哈!! 其實我突然間好掛住嗰啲收喺大大個玻璃罌里面, 斷斤稱嘅各式各樣餅乾!! 依家啲餅全部都獨立包裝, 感覺就係少咗啲人情味.. 大家仲記唔得嗰啲奶油夾心餅同朱古力威化餅?? 我的至愛呀~~ :)
i mentioned about the glass-bottled soda earlier on, wonder if it makes you recall those old style sundry store we called "kedai runcit" (of course those born after 90s may not know what this is)?? a really small shop you can hardly move freely but find just almost everything you need.. besides running errands for my mum for sugar salt and soya sauce, i always frequent the store after school for junk food, smuggled them home and then hiding in the room, i'd devour them like i'm a starving child, haha!! what i miss most now are those many types of biscuits kept in huge glass jar that you buy by weight.. now that all biscuits came in individual packaging, i just think they lack that little human touch.. still remember those custard sandwich and chocolate wafer biscuits?? those were my favorite~~ :)

      it's not my limit lah, it's blogger that hides the 201st comments onwards, if you see the comments you have to manually click the "Load more.." link in order to see subsequent comments leh.. so my program will not be able to extract the comments automatically, have to do manual counting lah.. 200 is good lah, haha!! so that you will all come early to comment mah..

    when we moved here, there was only one kedai runcit at my area. That kedai runcit boss was very sombong. Scold customer if customer belek belek the vege too much, if kids stand at the cooridor padahal in the store no place to stand coz cramp. ask to send the gas, wait from morning to night baru send. That time everyone forced to buy from there la.

    Now many more shops opened. Then last year, 99speedmart opened up next to his shop. Me very bad la. But i was laughed when i saw that coz serves him right.

    Now he had to work harder. 11pm also not close yet. Last time 9pm already closed.

    Actually, come to think about it, buying at the old style kedai runcit can save money...

    Because,
    last time when my Mom would give a list and I passed the list to the Uncle/Anay to get for me - ikan bilis ke, bawang ke, etc...

    No need to browse, browse around the shop and start buying unnecessary stuff.

    Now at hypermarkets, I think we tend to buy things that's not even in our list. Right or not? ;p
