We live in a multi-cultured country.<BR/><BR/>Most Mauritians can speak around 3 languages. We should be proud of that and we should show it.Jevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01708474768966353710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021201255607120823.post-60360855595123246662009-03-04T19:49:00.000+05:002009-03-04T19:49:00.000+05:00Anonymous, next time please mention your name. ;)morinnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17431161762552958415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021201255607120823.post-50846053264955874032009-03-04T19:45:00.000+05:002009-03-04T19:45:00.000+05:00thats so true! hate it when those cashiers look at u as if u nobody.

I remember several years ago there was a campaign on "courtoisie". It worked for some time, the adverts on TV showed people giving way to each other on the streets etc...<BR/>Think it's high time to start something like this again.morinnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17431161762552958415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021201255607120823.post-77747122411481928422009-03-02T19:11:00.000+05:002009-03-02T19:11:00.000+05:00LOL, even in Europe people do not go to Spar because it is too expensive. Talking about manners, I think that a local "politeness" campaign should be launched by the government because this is not only a thing that you see in stores but all around the country.

I think it should go alongside other services provided.<BR/><BR/>Carrotmadman, yeah and that's why Super U and Cash n Carry manage to sell the right products at the right period. About Jumbo RT, I think they've made it too big and now they're underemploying the counters. Guess they must be thinking that employing additional people would not be worthwhile. They could have also arranged for overtime and shifts. Ah well! Guess they just planned the discounts side. :Smorinnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17431161762552958415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021201255607120823.post-6222741154686076762009-03-01T21:00:00.000+05:002009-03-01T21:00:00.000+05:00I think many of these stores haven&#39;t got the concept of advertising right.<BR/>Advertising item by item bargains fare much better than advertising discounts in a general way.<BR/>&amp; only Super U &amp; Cash &amp; Carry got these right.<BR/><BR/>About Jumbo Riche Terre, even in peak periods I&#39;ve always found half of the counters closed?

We don't have bag girls, we have to bag our stuff ourselves, and smiling is almost a big no no in our country. <BR/>Ad campaigns indeed generally only have a temporarily effect, yet they are vital for newly opening stores and to create an image for the company. Although if the product doesn't match the ad, people are not going to return.Manictastichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15006152822401001812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021201255607120823.post-46776668299322801522009-03-01T20:21:00.000+05:002009-03-01T20:21:00.000+05:00mo habite pointe au sable mo bisin alle por lwi pou prend mo banne zafaires acause spar dans mo lendroit trop serniaznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021201255607120823.post-21134869295725414162009-03-01T19:27:00.000+05:002009-03-01T19:27:00.000+05:00keli, wai, there's a reason kifr bane sales guy pli courtois! hihi<BR/>wai mo ale super u, mais pa ossi souvent aster.<BR/>et mo gagne limpression ena pli cass dan hr ki marketing. i hope am right! hihi<BR/><BR/>Irfaan, lol, tantion si mo send sa zot faire moi gagne honter lerla! hihi<BR/><BR/>Jev, yup winners is not bad. o moin bane salesgirls la imper souriante.<BR/><BR/>Kurt Avish, thanks for sharing this story. hihi :Pmorinnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17431161762552958415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021201255607120823.post-12291863155195089842009-03-01T19:14:00.000+05:002009-03-01T19:14:00.000+05:00Oh talking abt supermarket...jst a share...a bit offtopic from me... there is a supermarket in Vacoas when you buy 2 bread for Rs16 and you giv the cashier Rs101 so and she will return Rs165!<BR/><BR/>:P<BR/><BR/>Not once....but four time it occured this year.
