It is that time of year again: Christmas Shopping Season. As a frequent shopper, it is the time I like the least. First of all, there is just NOT enough discount; secondly, there happened to be plenty of stupid shoppers who have no idea where they are going and they end up hitting people with their bags. (I might be short, but you should be able to see me from distance if you weren’t busying talking to your neighbors, grrrr)
Since daddy is back and offered to drive. We chose South Center as our shopping destination of the weekend. Here is what I found:
There are a lot more African American/Latinos in South Center. It is like how I used to see tons of Asian shoppers in Bellevue Square; they are now African American in South Center. Ok, so what does this demography have to do with my shopping?
Of course it does. Less Asian means fewer competitors for smaller clothing sizes. I can easily find petite sizes in all stores across South Center. There are plenty of extra smalls, smalls, and size 0-2 to choose from, even the discounted items. There are usually no small sizes left after they go on sales, but it is different here in South Center.
The only hitch is that there is no Banana Republic in South Center. Well, I guess it is good for my wallet that way.
