The Long Queue Chatter
Over the years, I have tried perfecting the game of school shopping but nothing worked. I have kind of gotten used to the comfort of pushing school shopping to the last line at the bottom of my to-do list.
The truth is I don’t enjoy shopping. Well, I mean offline shopping. And I don’t think I should be blamed for this. Shopping with three children of different ages and tastes was never a fun activity.
However, part of what I gained during the six months lockdown was self-awareness. Amidst gardening and growing our own vegetables I rediscovered my self-worth, my strength and what self-love truly meant. As expected, I decided to iron out some crumbled-up old habits and turn over a few leaves.
I did part of the school shopping online for a change and those I couldn’t get online I bought in stores. Part of the uniform my children wear includes tailor-made blazers. Apparently, I had no choice but to physically attend shops that offer such services with one of my children.
The only problem was with the few shops that render these services. These shops have ridiculous opening hours and they operate by appointments. Customers have the opportunity to walk in only twice a week. I tried booking appointments online but got none. I had no choice but to walk-in.
