In America: Shopping Madness

Apart from working, sleeping, watching TV Americans devote more time to shopping than to any other pastime. Indeed, shopping is now the number one holiday activity of Americans. People actually plan their vacation around shopping trips. Hundreds of thousands people a year travel to Niagara Falls, it seems, not to see the falls but to wander through its two mega-malls. Soon holidaymakers will be able to travel to the Grand Canyon and see it either, for there are plans, if you can believe it, to build a 450,000-square-foot shopping centre by its main entrance.

As for me, I cannot go shopping in America without wanting either to burst into tears or kill someone. For all its science, you see, shopping in this country is no longer fun, if it ever was.

A big part of the problem is the stores. They come in three types.

First, there are the stores where you can never find anyone to help you. Then there are the stores where you don’t want any help, but you are pestered by a persistent sales assistant, probably working on commission. Finally, there are the stores where, when you ask where anything is, the answer is always “Aisle seven. ” I don’t know why, but that is what they always tell you.

“Where’s pet food?” you ask.

“Aisle seven.”

“Where’s menswear?”

“Aisle seven.”

“Where’s aisle six?”

“Aisle seven.”

America is the shopping paradise. My point is that there is almost nothing you cannot buy in this remarkable country. Of course, shopping is the national sport in America.

Catalogues

Shopping by post has been around for a long time, but it has developed to a degree that is just beyond astounding. Almost from the moment we arrived in America catalogues began coming with the daily mail. Now we get perhaps a dozen a week, sometimes more – catalogues for videos, gardening implements, lingerie, books, camping and fishing gear, things to make your bathroom a more stylish place.

For a long I threw all that away. What a fool I was. I now realize they not only provide hours of reading pleasure, but open up a world of possibilities I didn’t know existed.

The goods themselves are not bargains and the attempts made to advertise them are very often quite amusing. But the scary thing is that often these descriptions are written so artfully that you are almost taken in by them. I was just reading in another catalogue about a fancy kitchen accessory from Italy called a porto rotolo di carta, which was for just $ 49.95 when I realized that it was a paper towel holder.

Even socks come with lengthy descriptions proving their unique qualities. I confess I have sometimes been briefly tempted to make a purchase, but in the end I realize that given a choice between paying $ 37.50 for a shirt with a superior nap and just having a nap, I will always go for the latter.

London’s Shopping Street

Don’t miss Carnaby Street as its banner says, it still carries on welcoming the world. Trip down the multi-coloured pavement and you’ll find punk fashion lives-leather jackets, Sex Pistols T-shirts and studded leather belts are among the novelties and souvenirs. Oxford Street is the mecca for reasonably priced high street fashion shops and department stores, CD and DVD shops. King’s Road is famous for reasonable to more expensively priced trendy clothes and good shops. Covent Garden is good for more classic but fashionable clothes. South Molton Street, Sloane Street and Bond Street have some of the leading international designer shops in London. Kensington High Street with its markets, is fun to find something high fashion and often quite outrageous! And Burlington Arcade, built in 1819 by Lord Cavendish with its long established British shops selling traditional merchandise, is a must just to walk down.
