shopping nightmare
I've decided to stay well away from Sylvia Park this weekend - preferring hell to be involved chaos similar to Thursday's opening. Picked up a few stories from people working there on the day, including hair pulling, fisticuffs and people stealing hot deals from other customer's trolleys. And that was all before the $49 TV's sold out 7 minutes after opening the doors. Even more bizarre than Nat MP Maurice Williamson blaming the traffic chaos on Labour, was a very senior Progressive Enterprises (Owner of Foodtown) employee vandalising a display in the front of the Warehouse and having to be calmed down by Warehouse founder Steven Tindall. Foodtown, apparently, wasn't doing very well during the morning in comparison to the Warehouse.

Living close enough to walk meant we were still able to check it out without getting involved in the parking madness.
Funnily enough it's actually big enough already that even when the car parks are full it doesn't feel as crowded as somewhere like St Lukes / Manukau etc.
The funniest thing was on Sunday when they had to pay for radio ads asking people *NOT* to come because of the traffic chaos.
Hopefully they'll accelerate plans for the railway station now. Not because I think it will actually help but because then I'll have a train station in walking distance ;-)
