Everybody wants to be a star someday, right? Everybody wants to feel how it is getting followed by the fans, getting cornered, and asked for photographs and autographs. Well, I experienced that, but not exactly the same thing. Here is my story.
My mom and I always go to this mall in Manila every morning because she gets irritated roaming around when there are lots of people. Her solution is to go there just before the opening.
One day(I forgot which day it was, but it is just within this week), we went to this mall and have our typical routine. I went to National Bookstore to see if there are new books that has been released, try to find new tech stuffs, while she went to go window shopping in her favorite boutiques. After our routine, we decided to meet to go to the groceries, but she invited me to go to the pillow/bed sheet section of this mall first, because she wanted to buy something from that section.
Once we get there, the very first step we made in that section, the mall's salespeople literally blocked our way and said "Good morning Ma'am, Sir, would like this and that blah blah blah... I guess they were five to six people and they all spoke at the same time and we can't understand what they are saying to us. We made a turn in one section and another group of saleslady/man was there to meet us. I was shocked with this because these people are really aggressive, maybe to make their first sale of the day, which I guess was a big mistake because they are scaring away their customers.
My mom told me to get out of this section immediately because, you know why. So I obliged, and while walking away from that section, I told her that I felt like I was a member of the Beatles, with fans crowding you, but this time, the people that were following me are salespeople.
So if you want to experience the same thing, maybe just go to any mall that is near your place, make sure that the mall has just opened and the salespeople haven't made their first sale yet. Go to a section where there are lots of salespeople but no customers, I am sure that you'll experience what I experienced. =]
