Crazy shopping, like you never believe

So I garbed 4,700 JD’s from the company and went in a shopping mission for a contest we are running, its nice when you have such money and you know that you are just gonna blow it away I remembered last summer when I went for such an issue, at that time I checked the rates of stuff I want to buy couple of days before, so there was no need for examining prices at purchasing time.

So I entered PC Zone at Mecca Mall and here what happened:
Samer: Can you pleas give an HP laptop (I was pointing at a punch of laptops).
At this point I noticed a couple of exclamation points and question marks popped above his head.
Salesman (to himself): Ha! This guy just asked for a 1,100 JD’s laptop without even looking at it, it’s not like a pack of cigarette for god’s sake, I thought we are in Jordan.
So he brought and he didn’t look convinced.
Samer: Is the warranty regional or just in Jordan?
Salesman: Its regional, may I ask what the region is?
Samer: Bahrain (The winner was Bahraini).
Salesman: So you work in Bahrain. (He looked like he finally solved this dilemma).
Samer: No in Jordan, but I’m having this competition and the laptop winner is a Bahraini.
This fact doubled the number of exclamation points and question marks above his head. I swear his eyebrows became one

I continued and went into inTouch at Mecca Mall and I asked for an iMate Jam, same reaction: Its morning and someone just ordered an iMate Jam like it was a pack of gum! (It was like 445 JD’s or less).

From the reactions of people in those places, I sensed that they are not ready for large sales at one time; they are used to go through lots of questions and negotiations with customers just to sell one item.

So yesterday I went to Prime Mega store and I had to wait for an hour to get the rest of the Digital cameras (all I ordered was 5 and they didn’t have that number at that time). So meanwhile I went down to Nokia and I bought 10 sets, I felt like an old VIP customer there. After that I went back to Prime grabbed the cams and 15 PC games.

All the way to Gardens street to PC Zone to purchase PC software, I wasted a lot of time in that stupid place; I bought couple of Islamic and educational software, in addition to Norton Anti-Virus and the crappy Microsoft Office.

Then I met Ibrahim at iSystems in Swifieh, there I bought 12 iPod shuffles, and headed back to the office to store 5 Digital cams, 10 mobiles, 20 PC software, 15 PC games and 12 iPods – and none of them is mine
