What is it about Shang's Rustan's Supermarket that makes me feel so classy shopping in it? Is it just the idea of being in Shang in general? Is it that when I go in the first things I'm greeted by are Waitrose products? Is it because it's beside the still relatively downscale Shang food court?
Whatever it is, no matter what mood I'm in, I always feel a little better going into Rustan's Supermarket. Granted I've never stayed that long there, since I'm usually just in it to buy a bottle of wine, or Messy Bessy products, or just a quick, cheap snack. Maybe my opinion would change otherwise if I actually spent some time doing groceries here, but it's overall a great, nice supermarket.
Really I think the only thing that kind of breaks the illusion is the few cashiers that they have and the depressing checkout area. They could probably stand to put a few more fun things there, but otherwise it's always a good day shopping there. read more
