Just went into a store to buy my wife a new all electric super whizzy toothbrush. As with most shops in Hong Kong they didn’t actually have what I wanted but they did in the warehouse.
Now in most countries something in the warehouse means it’s in Lithuania and if you order it now it should be with you for the next millennium.
Not In Hong Kong. No warehouse is more than 1 minute from the shop and they always have what you want. Always.
And so one minute later I was paying for the toothbrush and readying myself to face the nightmare of Sunday afternoon food shopping. But this being Hong Kong you get free stuff with your purchase.
A set of sore brushes and some toothpaste. Great. And Dettol. A bleach for cleaning toilets and floors.
Now I really know I don’t understand marketing.
