Consumer society. It's fascinating to watch customers wandering in a market. I observed their behaviors in a candy shop upstairs on a busy Sunday afternoon. The great selection of candies provided by the shop surprised lots of its visitors. The rest were just wandering casually. Most people liked to check labels before they buy anything. They observed those gorgeously packed products, picked them up, looked at packages up and down, over and over, but eventually put them back. A sensible customer will remain sensible, while irrational buyers will act irrational. It's so interesting watching a group of people doing certain things in a spontaneous space. #consumption #shanghai #livelyfieldnote (at 五角場)
