节礼日的停车大战

每年的这一天热点的商业购物中心会上演三个大战:停车、就餐和出车。

旺庙,这个极热的中心,每年的这一天的清晨是一年中最忙的。51网报道说早上7点就停车场就满了,不仅车辆忙、停车忙就连抢占车位的报警都忙,警察解决不过来了,将电话转向保安:你们看着办吧!旺庙,的确够旺。

本人遭遇了这一场景。当9点到达时车就满了,连拐角都开上车了,只好随着车流慢慢移动而不是开动。9点半左右第一批顾客购物后陆续出来,谁快位子就是谁的了,咱自知技术不如人“豪车”又不敢碰,索性想起一招:坐等;在一个档子里不动了,守株待兔。

你有此想法别人也有,于是乎一个档子里出现了三拨蹲守车,别说空位了就是看见顾客手提大包小包的就摇下车窗问清去向,唯恐错过。

在这一个档子里蹲守了一个多小时,有4个机会没能抢上,不是被人快车所为就是逆向位置也有车在候,没办法。

期间见到一景:一满车的中东人,每个档子下来一个人,顶着零下14度的严寒站在雪地上眼盯着每一位出来的顾客,冲上去以人体为地标占领车位,仅以10几分钟就搞定了,其他车辆望而却步,自知人气不如啊。

看清这阵势后只能采取下策:走为上。慢慢地蹭到远离中心的地方,瞄准一刚刚出来的顾客,紧紧地跟着他,保持几米的距离才拿到位子。一看表:11点,整整找了2个小时,史无前例!!

 

人一多了什么都是问题。吃饭,想找个位子同样费劲。你根本就不可能找到空的就象停车,只能找哪的人快吃完了,站在旁边还是蹲守才能有位子。

等到购物后出来也还是费劲,上演了围城现象:外面的人想进来,里面的人想出去,停车场又是乱成一团。有人说乱吧,不乱哪象过节,说的也是。

      本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Oh boy was Sporting Life Markville quite an experience. My winter jacket got ripped so I went to line up for the $50 gift card/50% off to use on a new jacket. Arrived first thing at 5AM sharp in the morning, there were already 50-70 people lining up outside the mall entrance. By 5:20 line was already doubled to 150, so I was good but there goes the gift cards, right?

      Nope, at 5:40ish apparently security unlocked the South entrance first instead of the South-east Entrance where we were at (closest to Sporting Life store) and someone there told another leading to a chain reaction of everyone running 100m to the South entrance to get a spot inside the mall. Whoever ran the fastest and got there first moved up, which sucks for those who actually came the earliest to line up. No idea what genius thought it was fine opening the far away entrance instead, I'm pretty sure people tripped and fell during that stampede. Then again maybe security didn't know or care. Quite literally survival of the fittest.

      By 7AM the line was from front of store to mall entrance plus it wrapped around, so yea maybe 300-500 people.

      The gift card doesn't state any expiry so I would assume it would last forever, but better to use it during the sale. Despite lackluster of boxing day deals this was worth lining up for更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

    • 同情啊。在王庙经历过类似的,于是我再也不在boxing day去那里了。中东人有点犯规了。LOL
    • 记得哪位说不用抢车位出来走两步。。。 +2
      • 哪敢走两步,刚一上岸裤脚还浸着海水就被人认出来了。。。
    • 可以停对面的plaza,再不济就外面的CT。总好比你等2个多小时,走几步就行了,非要这么懒
      • 早就想到了,CT门口还有南侧的商区都有警车,问你到哪里去,不在此购物的全部禁入。
