shoe-safe guarantee

Back in the land of calorie-laden food! 


Sure, fun to see my family and all that, but let's focus on the main point here...

Is it just me, or boutiques are crazy popping up in Bangi? I'm not a jubah person (as you would already know...) but man, these places have the nicest jubahs in the world. 

We went to several stores with Aunty M to choose her birthday present (fail). Our efforts weren't in vain though, because I did learn something that day - well, more like, pondered something.

WHY DO BOUTIQUES ASK US TO TAKE OFF OUR SHOES?!

I assume the logic behind shoe removal is for hygiene reasons, or they're worried we'll get their wooden floors pierced by stiletto heels?

But what if some people feel exposed or vulnerable upon removing their shoes? And how would you guarantee that we'll see them again when we leave the store? You never know if a cat would nick those shoes outside, do you...

Some don't even give salaam! Please, go ahead and coldly look at me in the eye and then ignore me, so nice to shop here.

Bahahah forgive me, clearly something horrible has gotten into me.

  1. hi.. you're not alone. i feel the same too..it annoys me and my friends because there's this 1 time we went to a boutique in jb, they give us this cold look, i think because we're not hijabista kinda girls (we wore jeans and t-shirt on that day) and that's it! my friends didn't wanna shop with me in that kinda boutique anymore. (well i don't care because why should i) haha.. there another customer entered the boutique after us and warmly greeted by the salesgirls (yes. they wore jubahs n skirts)
