Almost everything seems to be left up to the professional teachers in Korea. Today HomePlus was busy with children as adults (that I assume were teachers) escorted them through the store. All the children had little baskets, though the adults chose the items for them to put in their baskets. I wanted to ask what was going on, but I knew better. Whoever I asked would simply stare at me in horror, collect him/herself, then smile and scurry away. It's the usual response I get when I ask questions here.
Was it a shopping lesson? A PR moment for the store? I will probably never know.
It's probably good to be taught how to shop. My learning came with the money I pilfered from the usual locations of loose change in the average home: sofas, end tables, mother's purse, loose change spent frivolously at the dime store on plastic cars and dart pistols. I'm not a good shopper. Usually, it's in and out a single store to be done with the burdensome deed. Maybe I should have tagged along with the children today and learned just how shopping should be done.
