Highpoint is a friendly place to shop

I don’t live anywhere near Highpoint but I do go up there at least 2-3 times a year. I love shopping there and I find the service friendlier than other shopping centres. I have friends who wouldn’t be seen dead at Highpoint simply because it is located in the ‘Western Suburbs’. As for people that I work for, I think most wouldn’t have a clue that it exists. LOL.

Highpoint has all the shops that I want to look into. I love it how the employees in many of the shops are happy to serve me. In comparison to other shopping centres, the employees in many shops are happy to serve me. And, I am not even comparing Highpoint to other top end shopping centres. If some people think that Highpoint is for the ‘working class’ (which I don’t), I have been to other shopping centres (deemed by some to be) servicing the ‘working class’ that have lousy service.

The truth is that regardless of where I shop, the variety of products available in Melbourne/Australia are pretty much the same. I went to Highpoint about a month ago and on the very day that I was there, iPods were on sale at the Target store there. I thought the discount was pretty good and bought one. Yes, even an old fashion nanny like me is getting an iPod. The ladies who served me were genuinely friendly. They made the shopping experience all the more enjoyable. I could have bought it from the Target store in Melbourne CBD or some other shops that sell this gadget but I am sure I wouldn’t have been given friendly service. The Target store in Melbourne CBD is one of the most unfriendly shop I ever step foot in.

I was there at Highpoint again today. I popped in on my way to my friend’s home. Yes, I do have a friend who lives in Kensington. Not everyone can afford to live in the CBD or some other eastern or bayside suburbs. The service at Pumpkin Patch was brilliant. I bought a gift for my friend’s newborn.

I think I will continue to shop at Highpoint for a long time. I won’t be there again for a while. This poor nanny has to save some money. Come November, I will definitely be there again for the annual Christmas shopping.
