What people want

The same thing everyone else is having, but different.

A menu where the prices aren't all the same.

More attention than the person sitting next to them.

A slightly lower price than anyone else.

A new model, just moments before anyone else, but only if everyone else is really going to like it.

A seat at a sold out movie.

Access to the best customer service person in the shop, preferably the owner.

Being treated better, but not too much better.

Being noticed, but not too noticed.

Being right.

DECOMPOSING INFANT'S BODY FOUND IN FAIRPRICE BRANCH
---------------------------------------------------
A HIGHLY-decomposed infant was discovered yesterday at a locker room in
NTUC FairPrice's Bishan Junction 8 branch. The grisly find of the
premature baby was triggered by a stench coming from the staff locker room
of the popular supermarket.

well.. i could say something abt cold rooms... and hot weather... "the fresh food people" would have trained their staff to use the cold room... not the locker.
this beats my dead-rat-in-bag episode... i've been trumped!
