So I was walking through a shopping centre in Shanghai when I came across this …
No, it’s not a man dead in a reclining massage chair [at least I hope it isn’t] but it is a man asleep in a reclining massage chair.
Now on first impressions, you might think he’s a cheeky bastard grabbing a couple of minutes shut eye … but I personally think he is an astute shopper.
Those chairs cost a fucking fortune and so surely the one thing you want to do before you part with your hard earned cash, is make sure it does what you want it to do.
Like I wrote about back before the internet was invented, I can’t work out why so many shops are against people trying out products in store because let’s face it, the chances of them then making a purchase goes up radically once they’ve experienced it.
OK … OK … so this attitude might be better for some products than others, but even if Mr Snoozehead doesn’t end up buying the chair, he’s going to talk pretty positively about it … afterall, it managed to let him get some shut eye in the middle of a shopping centre in one of the busiest cities in the World and if that’s not a shining endorsement of it’s relaxation qualities, I don’t know what is.
