buy by bye

it's so easy to get sucked in. cheap, cheaper, cheapest. bargain. sale. don't miss out. stocktake. closing down.

one has to consciously turn off all senses but enough sight to not blindly stumble about and get out of there as soon as humanly possible. why is a (perceived) bargain such an irresistible temptation? when did such an addictive consumer culture, goaded by cheap prices, seep in without us noticing? when did quality and other concerns just not even factor?

this distresses me.
