nEarby every 7-11 there will always be a CHEErs!~
Wednesday, August 25, 2004
Did you realise that anywhere you go , with every 7-11 there's always a Cheers Store somewhere nearby. Coincidentally , one would reflect upon it and realised that Cheers (maybe)is linked to the State , (NTUC? i forgot...if u know please tell me) and its location seems to be extremely favourable. For example at Lakeside Mrt station , a Big Cheers store was built out of nowhere and the CHeers culture has since started to infuse into other MRT stations like tampines , Kallang ... I really wonder at it's amazing ability to "chop" all these wonderful locations which is practically always crammed with people . Sometimes i find myself viewing these Bright neon lights stores with bad vibes because i find them spinkled with Favouritism from the G**(oops ..cant say that ** word if i wanna continue living in Spore..hahaha).
By the way , the structure of the shop , the shelfs , the counter ..even down to the Ice-MIlo , Instant cup noodles being sold in Cheers...other than its Bright yellow uniform and the shop Sign outside , One may find themselves in a "imitated 7-11" . For all the talks that our country rattled on and on about "piracy" and creativity ..i find it ironic that all these Cheers stores "sprouted" up soo fast and furious ,with all its branches soo coincidentally near 7-11. I mean it aint fair is'nt it , that the 7-11 culture took them soo long to cultivate in our local hearts , their unique management style and instilled "Ice MIlo, other ice blended drinks and instant noodles " into their stores when "overnight" another company (simply just change the name ) just copied their idea and improvise upon it (as some branches even sell Laksa and Dumplings) and TA-Da...
Half of 7-11 market shares are gone and profits will be shared with his "Half brother" .
However please don't mistake me as one who likes a Strong firm dominating the market (monopoly) cause i do not really encourage that too. I dont mind the fact that there are more 24 hrs stores around (who in their right mind would? ). Anyway , i just find it Unfair but i aint gonna complaint cos we- consumers get to benefit..hahah SO after all these grumbling , Its okie!~
