I am an ordinary office worker with a stable job but average income, and I usually go shopping in the mall. I am optimistic, capable, passionate and curious about life. This year-end bonus is about to be distributed, so I went to the mall to find a favorite product.
Walking into the familiar shopping mall, I was extremely excited and looking forward to the upcoming year-end bonus. As soon as I stepped into the mall, I was immediately caught in the enticing array of goods, and I couldn't help but pick up my pace and start to walk from store to store.
"The color of this sweater is very good, and the texture is very soft, which is exactly what I want. I looked at a gray sweater and muttered to myself. I approached the shelf, carefully touched the fabric of the sweater, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Hello, do you need help?" A young salesman walked over and asked enthusiastically.
"How much does this sweater cost?" I looked up at her.
"The original price of this sweater was 799 yuan, and now it is discounted for only 499 yuan. The salesman said with a smile.
"499 yuan, it looks good. I nodded thoughtfully, "Then I'll want this." "
The checkout process was quick, and I pulled out my wallet and was ready to pay. Suddenly, I noticed a small label hanging on the cash register, which prominently read "Year-end Bonus". My heart suddenly lifted, and I subconsciously asked, "What does that 'year-end bonus' mean?"
"Oh, that's an event at our mall. The salesman explained, "As long as you spend a certain amount of money in our mall, you will have the opportunity to get a randomly distributed year-end bonus, ranging from 100 yuan to 10,000 yuan." The sweater you just purchased is one of the 'year-end bonus' items. "
"W-What?!" I stared at her with wide eyes and disbelief, "You mean, this sweater I bought actually has my year-end bonus on it?!"
"Yes, sir. The salesman nodded, "The sweater you just purchased is one of the 'year-end bonuses' that we randomly distribute." You're so lucky!"
I froze where I was, unable to digest the news for a moment. I was anxious to figure out the situation, and quickly asked, "Then what should I do? My year-end bonus won't be taken away by someone else, right?"
The salesman said soothingly, "Don't worry, sir." This 'annual bonus' item can only be taken away after you have paid for it, so your annual bonus is safe. If you need help, I'm here for you. "
I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I heard this. However, this incident did make me a little confused and uneasy. My year-end bonus was hidden in an ordinary sweater, and if I hadn't found out in time, wouldn't I have missed it in vain? I couldn't help but frown and think about what to do next.
After listening to the salesman's explanation, my heart was full of flavors. Even though she said that my year-end bonus was safe, I couldn't help but feel suspicious. Why is my year-end bonus hidden in this sweater?
"Is there anything special about this 'year-end bonus' product?" I couldn't help but ask.
"This is an interactive event that our mall has launched to celebrate the end of the year. The salesman patiently explained, "We randomly hang the 'year-end bonus' label on some products, and customers can get corresponding bonuses if they buy this kind of goods when they consume." This not only gives customers a surprise, but also increases their stickiness to our mall. "
I nodded in understanding. This sounds like a good marketing campaign that can give customers a windfall in the ordinary process of making a purchase, and it can also enhance the influence of the mall. However, I still can't help but worry about whether my year-end bonus will be snatched away by others.
"Then if I don't want this 'year-end bonus' product now, can I exchange it for another product?" I asked tentatively.
"Absolutely. The salesman smiled and said, "If you don't want this item, we can refund the money for you, and then you are free to choose other items." However, it is important to note that once you have left the checkout, the year-end bonus cannot be replaced. "
"Okay, then I don't want this sweater yet. I breathed a sigh of relief, "Please help me with the refund process." "
I took the receipt, double-checked it, and put it in my wallet. I looked around and my eyes fell on the gray sweater again. It's beautiful, but now the thought of it having my year-end bonus on it makes me feel furious.
"Otherwise, I still don't want this product. I decided, "I'd like to check out other stores and see what's more suitable." "
"Yes, sir, then happy shopping. The salesman said with a smile.
I nodded, turned and left the shop. After walking out, I couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. The experience just now made me feel a little panicked, I really didn't expect that my year-end bonus would be "hidden" like this. If you accidentally miss it, the consequences are unimaginable.
I frowned and sighed in annoyance. This uncertainty made me anxious, and I desperately wanted to know what was going on.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a familiar voice next to me: "Hey, Xiao Li, you are here!"
I turned my head and saw my colleague Zhang Li walking towards me.
"Zhang Li, you also come to the mall to shop?" I asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, I just saw you in a nearby store, so I came over to say hello. Zhang Li smiled and said, "You look a little anxious, is something going on?"
"What?! Zhang Li exclaimed in disbelief, "This is outrageous, isn't it! You won't be taken away by others, right?"
"I don't know what to do. I shook my head helplessly, "The salesperson at that store said that I had already paid and that the bonus should be safe." Still, I'm worried that something will happen. "
"And what are you going to do now?" Zhang Li asked with concern.
I pondered for a moment and replied, "I'm going to continue shopping around the mall to see if there's anything else more suitable to buy." I really don't feel comfortable leaving the year-end bonus on that dress. "
"Good idea. Zhang Li nodded, "Otherwise, I'll go with you to have a look, so that you can rest assured." "
"Then you'll have to do it. I said gratefully, "Multiple eyes always see better." "
After speaking, the two of us walked into the mall side by side and started a new round of treasure hunting. Although I was still a little apprehensive in my heart, I finally had some comfort in the company of my friends.
Zhang Li followed me, looking around, and asked with concern: "Xiao Li, what is the matter with you? Why do you hide the year-end bonus on your clothes?"
I simply repeated what I had just experienced. After listening to my explanation, Zhang Li also showed an incredible expression.
"This is too far from Tan! The mall would actually engage in this kind of play, and I don't know what the purpose is. If someone mistakenly thinks that this is an ordinary commodity and doesn't find it at the checkout, won't your year-end bonus be lost in vain?" Zhang Li shook her head and sighed.
"That's what I thought, too. I said depressedly, "If I hadn't looked at that label carefully, maybe it would have become someone else's 'year-end bonus' by now." "
"And what are you going to do?" Zhang Li asked with concern, "Do you want to change the mall to have a look?"
"I don't know what to do. I reluctantly said, "Since I've already paid, I don't know if there will be any problems if I return it now." Besides, if I switch to other products, there will be a 'year-end bonus' label, and I am not completely sure that my bonus is safe. "
"Well, you have a point. Zhang Li nodded, "Then why don't you buy anything at all, and go home directly to save your year-end bonus?"
"But I'm here to buy things. I smiled wryly and said, "Is that an afternoon wasted?"
The two men fell silent. I know I'm in a tricky situation right now, I want to buy what I want, but I'm worried that my year-end bonus will be threatened. It's not a solution to keep going like this, I have to find a solution as soon as possible.
Just then, I suddenly saw a beautiful dress in the window of a clothing store in front of me.
"Hey, Zhang Li, what do you think of that dress?" I pointed to the dress and said, "It's pretty, would you like to go in and have a look?"
"Okay, let's go check it out. Zhang Li also said with great interest, "Maybe you can find a beautiful and safe product." "
The two of us walked into the clothing store together, and our eyes were immediately drawn to the variety of products in the store. I looked at each garment carefully, hoping to find a product that I liked and didn't have a "year-end bonus" label.
Just as I was hesitating in front of the shelf, a young salesman walked up.
"Hello, do you need help?" She asked enthusiastically.
"So, do you have any products that you can make sure that they don't have the 'Year-end Bonus' label?" I asked tentatively.
"'Year-end bonus' label?" The salesman repeated in confusion, "Are you talking about that event at our mall?"
"Yes, that's it. I nodded, "I've encountered this situation in another store before, and now I'm worried that my year-end bonus will be taken away by someone else." So I want to buy an item that makes sure there is no label. "
"Oh, I see. The salesman suddenly realized, "I understand your concerns." The products we have here are all in stock normally, and we have not participated in the 'year-end bonus' activity, so there will definitely be no labels. You can choose with confidence. "
I breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, then I'll pick it up here." "
"Feel free to choose, and let me know if you need help. The salesman said with a smile.
"Thank you. I nodded to her and began to scrutinize the shelves.
This time, I carefully watched each piece of clothing, for fear that I would encounter another accident. I even asked the salesperson to confirm that the goods here were all in stock and that there was no hidden "year-end bonus" label.
Finally, I stopped in front of a beautiful blue dress. I like the style of this dress very much, the texture is also very soft, and it looks very beautiful.
"This dress is good, I'm going to try it. I said to Zhang Li.
"Okay, then you can try it. Zhang Li said encouragingly.
I cautiously picked up the dress and went into the locker room to try it on. Sure enough, the dress fit perfectly, and I turned in front of the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.
"It's beautiful, I'm going to have this one. I opened the door to the locker room and said with a smile.
"Great, then you should hurry up and check out. Zhang Li also said happily.
I nodded and couldn't wait to walk to the cash register. This time, I double-checked and confirmed that there was no "year-end bonus" label before I paid and left.
Along the way, I couldn't help but look back at the paper bag in my hand, for fear that something unexpected would happen. I finally regained my peace, and now I finally let go of the worries in my heart.
"It's so nice to finally buy a safe item. I breathed a sigh of relief, "That experience was so unsettling. "
"yes, I'm anxious for you. Zhang Li said sympathetically, "But now that the truth has finally come out, you can finally feel at ease." "
"Thanks to you accompanying me to find it, otherwise I would still be anxious in the mall. I said, "Thank you so much." "
"What's this, we're good friends. Zhang Li smiled and patted me on the shoulder, "When you encounter this kind of thing in the future, remember to tell me at any time, and I will definitely accompany you to find a way." "
"Okay, that's a deal. I smiled and said, "Then let's go, and I'll give you a big meal to celebrate." "
"Great! I'm going to have a good time. Zhang Li said excitedly.
We walked out of the mall with a smile and a smile, and our hearts finally rekindled our optimism and expectation for life. Although this unexpected gain made me go through a lot of twists and turns, it also ended up in exchange for a rare friendship. I sincerely thank Zhang Li for her help, and I believe that no matter what difficulties I encounter in the future, as long as she is by my side, I will definitely be able to get through it.
Along the way, Zhang Li and I walked out of the mall with a smile and a smile. I am grateful to her for being able to lend a helping hand and be there for me at this critical time. If it weren't for her help, I'm afraid I'd still be anxiously looking for my year-end bonus at that mall.
"Thank you so much, Zhang Li. I said sincerely, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would still be trapped in the mall and worried." "
"Where, we're good friends. Zhang Li patted me on the shoulder in a friendly manner, "If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you must tell me that I will be there at any time." "
"Okay, that's a deal. I nodded, "By the way, where do you think we're going to eat and celebrate?"
"yes, that sounds good. I agreed, "Let's go, I'm in for a treat." "
With that, the two of us walked towards the newly opened barbecue restaurant. Along the way, I was in a particularly relaxed mood and finally got rid of the influence of that "year-end bonus" sweater.
When we arrived at the barbecue, we found a quiet place to sit. It is decorated in a Korean style, warm and comfortable. As soon as I entered the door, I was greeted warmly by the staff.
"Welcome, do you need something?" The waiter asked with a smile.
"Well, let's have a large pork belly platter and two cold beers. I replied.
"Okay, coming soon. The waiter took our order and walked briskly to the kitchen.
After a while, the fragrant barbecue was served, accompanied by the fragrance of beer, which made people appetite. The two of us looked at each other and smiled, each picked up chopsticks and began to feast.
"Well, this barbecue is really delicious!" Zhang Li let out a voice of admiration while tasting it, "The workmanship of this shop is really first-class. "
"Yes, no wonder so many people come here. I couldn't help but admire, "If it weren't for that annoying 'year-end bonus' thing today, we would have been able to enjoy the food to the fullest." "
"Don't mention this!" Zhang Li frowned, "Just thinking that you were almost kept in the dark, I am anxious for you." "
"Me too. I sighed, "If you hadn't come in time to help, I might still be in the mall." "
"It's natural. Zhang Li reached out and patted me on the shoulder, "We are good friends, you must tell me if you have any difficulties in the future, I will be there at any time." "
"Well, you're right. I smiled and nodded, "With you as a close friend, I dare to tell you any problems I encounter in the future." "
We clinked glasses and drank them all. The cold beer slides down your throat and makes you feel refreshed.
"By the way, have you ever thought about the purpose of that 'year-end bonus' activity?" Something suddenly occurred to me and asked curiously.
"Well, I'm thinking about that too. Zhang Li touched her chin and thought, "Since this event is organized by the mall itself, there must be some purpose." "
"At first, I also thought it was a good marketing tool that would bring unexpected benefits to customers. I said, "But then I think about it, it's definitely causing trouble for customers." "
"Yes, if someone else really takes away the year-end bonus, it will be a great loss!" Zhang Li frowned, "I think this is probably a trap deliberately set by the mall." "
"This possibility is not ruled out. Zhang Li nodded, "They may want to use this 'year-end bonus' gimmick to induce customers to spend more, and then deliberately make you unable to find that 'bonus'." This way, they will be able to earn more profits. "
I was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "You have a point. At the time, I felt that this activity was a bit too deliberate, and if it was really to surprise customers, it could have been more clearly marked with product information. "
"Yes, if you really just want to surprise the customer, you can set a fixed prize. Zhang Li also echoed, "But now this model has undoubtedly brought great trouble and anxiety to customers." "
"It doesn't seem like our speculation is too outrageous. I frowned, "In this way, those 'year-end bonus' products are at risk of being dropped, and they can't be considered a 'surprise' at all." "
"That's right, it's simply misleading to consumers. Zhang Li said indignantly, "It's so unkind! We must tell other customers not to be deceived by the mall." "
"Good idea. I nodded, "We must uncover the truth about this deal and save more people from it." "
We looked at each other and smiled, and took a big sip of our beer glasses. This frustrating "year-end bonus" incident turned out to be a good opportunity to fight against the bad behavior of the mall. It seems that with friends by your side, any difficulties can be solved.
