[ June 2013 ] In France, the state decides the days of sales.
This time I went to Paris on the day before the sale started.
Just a few days before I left, I leaned this fact from a friend of mine in Paris, but we could not change the day as this trip was for something to do with the work.
Even then I thought “maybe some of the shops could have started sales a bit early” and ” If there is something special, I would buy for the proper price”.
But I was completely let down.
Most of the shops already had discount signs, but they never ever sold anything for the discounted prices.
Even I who love shopping did not dare to buy something knowing it would be 40% off next day.
I never had this much of frustration in Paris.
Every shop was full of people by the way.
They all were checking the discount rate for their shopping next day and nobody was buying anything.
