Mr Hello, Mr Beautiful and Ms Special Price

Well seems I've never talked about my work place in here... There are heaps of funny people in the market obviously but so far I've found these three quite spectacularly cute :)

Mr Hello's store is just opposite mine. A quite large souvenir store. When people are heading off the store thinking that the price is not acceptable he would always yell 'Hello' at them and then gesture them back and give them a better price, well some people tries to do the same trick pretending they are going on me obviously but I never give a shit and people who is actually acting would just come back and pay the price I asked. I rule in my store, customers don't. I don't like these sort of customers much, because I wasn't asking for a sky high price anyway. You either have it or leave it, that's it.

Mr Beautiful is cute old man selling coloured pens which change colours, he always wear a rainbow colour cardigan at work and his pens are actually quite interesting. 'Beautiful' is basically everything that he was asked opinions about. Weather, business, whatever. Just that sometimes he would add 'beautiful as shit'. He always have a huge crowd in the front of his store when he starts talking about his products, which actually scares the people nearby by literally magnetizing everyone to his store. 'Museum' was the funniest word I've heard referring to a quiet store from him that I couldn't stop laughing.

Ms Special Price is actually no longer active in the market although she comes back and visit occasionally. She used to be just next to me selling cell phone accessories and it'd been so irritating hearing her yelling 'special price' whenever any customers comes in all day. There was electricity in her store and she always plays things like 'I want it that way', eeeeekk. It seems that she's not at quite good relationship with her neighbours that when she goes people were like 'finally!!' Well I didn't have a problem with her though. Well the irritating thing now for me is actually the store selling toys at the front row, which has an ugly doll lying on her belly reading with legs swinging up the air, I never got to know what was she reading but the sound became so irritating that I almost throw up. I doubt they ever sold any of those dolls.
