I would like to comment on your article in Hawkes Bay Today. You have missed out on one other rare sub-species of homo shoppiens: The super special swapper shopper. You were talking about the rage when a shopper finds an article cheaper, on special the next day. The super special swapper shopper, who interestingly enough always come in a twin pack knows what to do: Usually the male will take the article back to the store upon the discovery of price reduction and will ask for a refund, as it was not the right article – or whatever excuse will do. The other half of the twin pack super special swapper shopper – (usually the female) will then merrily enter the store to buy the same item at the reduced price. (A real story, I might add, saving $15.00.)
