On Sunday afternoon the family went to the movies in ORINOKIA MALL. We saw the movie Bedtime Stories "(BEDTIME STORIES) with actor Adam Sandler. I noted the marked decline in the level of influx of people to the mall. Undoubtedly, the crisis has also reached an economic engine as Guyana which is the core business industrial complex in government hands. Before I used to say they were state enterprises, but the way they are driving laws and economic measures in the last decade, forcing me to make a distinctive between the word and the word state government.
These companies have failed to honor its commitments, not only with suppliers and contractors, but now they are the workers and employees basic business Guayana which are beginning to experience firsthand the negative effects of management and clientelism, governed by a policy entirely divorced from the most basic principles of business management.
leaving the cinema, we decided to dine ALTAVISTA BUSINESS DOWNTOWN 2. The area devoted to food businesses, as well as the variety or alternative food stalls, are undoubtedly the main attraction of this new mall, turning the area ORINOKIA meal in less than a picnic.

When we finished dinner, KBULLIN noticed an advertisement for the shopping center where customers are invited to participate in a raffle for Bs 1,000, oo (one million The December 2007) is performed daily. This is obviously an incentive for the visitor ceases to be and become a customer. That is, consume, buy and who not only walk and see stained glass. Are invited to deposit in a drum, located in the central plaza of the mall, a consumer bill (without limitation or requirement of an amount minimum) and the next night (at 8:00 PM) is the draw which awards are made immediately, since it requires the winner to be present. With this last clause, the person surreptitiously seeking to increase its consumption because of having to attend 2 consecutive days at the mall, it is reasonable that it will make some kind of purchase, whether a simple ice cream or soda.
Since it was 7:20 PM, I agreed to the request of KBULLÍN to attend the draw for that day to kill the louse of curiosity. Given the obvious joy of KBULLÍN, I explain that we could not compete because the rules clearly stated that the bills for the next day involved. Besides, I had made the payment of consumer credit card and would not let go of the bill (along with the voucher from the point of sale) could ever need in case of any disparity in the statement of consumption card. The really do not know how to make those customers, wanting to participate in the contest, can not for the need to keep the invoice for warranty validation of an electronic appliance or purchased at a store in the mall.
struck 8 pm and must be recognized that the lottery started in a timely manner, as indicated on the poster. As in any such event, the moderator tried to be the innocent hand of a child (in this case a girl) that would give transparency and legality in the competition, leaving the Lady Luck as the only responsible for deciding who was the winner. This will save further expenses associated with hiring a lawyer, figure (thanks to the incredible and newspapers Venezuelan lottery results) have not exactly a guarantee of transparency image in any contest that is conducted and is to choose who goes first in a game of dominoes.
began to spin the drum and the announcer said good at first it is first going to make awards that consumption of 60.00 Bs in the area of \u200b\u200bfood from the mall. The fact that the poster does not say anything that is going to give prizes of Bs 60, oo instead of juicy and tempting prize of Bs 1,000, oo. Total to be released a total of 3 bills that were rewarded immediately with domestic consumption of Bs 60, oo as all the winners were present, as it provided one of the clauses of the competition. Finally, the moderator announced that it was time the real reason why all these people were in the central plaza of the mall on a Sunday at 8:00 pm: Prize Bs 1,000, oo cash and not consumption required.
As in all previous awards, were given several turns of the hype before the girl proceeded to pull the bill last night. Take the girl an invoice and the event moderator or speaker hesitates before saying the name of the winner. Exchanged some words with an assistant, and proclaims to be out another bill, touted as the winning prize of Bs 1,000, oo and that night he won a prize of 60.00 Bs and "according to the regulations, unable to participate for another award (sic). Hurray! I say, what blunder! He added that to avoid discomfort , would not say who was the lucky one (I'd rather unfortunate) winner that he (along with the assistant) had decided (without any detours) disqualify.
The fact that the approach was absurd from every point of view, because the only regulation that exists is one that is published. Ie 4 or 5 terms that appear in the promotional poster and which obviously all the winners of that night had to meet (being over 18 years, when the bill the previous day and be present at the time of the draw .) In the promotional poster or no mention of the famous little words that are always present microscopic print in any document of doubtful good intentions. I mean those of "the entrant agrees that recognizes and understands the rules governing this contest and bla bla bla" it is obvious that there is no extension of the regulation.
I thought he was going to be that of San Quentin, as though the announcer say that I would not say the name, fell to mature than the winner (now declared loser) was one of the 3 people who had just been rewarded with a prize of just 60.00 Bs forced consumption, rewards those that did not appear nowhere in the contest rules, if strict ourselves or is exquisite. Perhaps because the Venezuelan and is well used to abuse any authority or institution of it, no one raised their voice to demand angrily to what was obviously a brazen plunder, not to mention words like deception, fraud or theft. He proceeded to take another bill and, fortunately for the physical integrity of the speaker, the new winner of Bs 1,000, oo was not one of the 3 people who had been dispatched Olympian with a prize of 60.00 Bs obliged consumption the area of \u200b\u200bfood and the way they had just learned (by an improvised rules taken from the manga) that disqualify them as Pyrrhic prize for choosing the only true prize offered on the poster. The experience
helped me KBULLÍN lecture about the ethics of traders and the treatment which should provide the client (which stubbornly refuse to give) but then cry that sales are not going well. KBULLÍN not understand why a person had been disqualified by the mere fact that he had won another award. I did not understand what was wrong. The only bad thing son, they said, is the lack of principles and values \u200b\u200bof the mall owners or persons in which delegated the responsibility for the conduct of the competition. Everyone has a Intute knowledge of them, but nobody is governed by such standards of righteousness. I explained to KBULLÍN as far as I could see, the only guidelines or limitations to participate, were established in the promotional poster and forth (right in the contest) to cite the existence of a supposedly more comprehensive regulation, was not at all successful. That was not the time to come disqualify someone with an argument that can be well into a "live" (read: cheating) but not to a group of people rather than to represent themselves, actually representing the company . I could not then explain in language more appropriate to their age, why the winner disqualified. The most I managed to say at his insistence, was, because they felt like son. Because I felt like it. And the reality is this. Once again, THE KBULLA was witness the mistreatment and abuse they undergo customers of any retailer in Venezuela.
I understand that the competition created by the mall (and regulation thereof) aim to encourage and increase consumption of the people who come to the shop, so it is paradoxical indeed come from those responsible for this contest Sunday night. Yes, breaking the laws of probability, a person won 2 times that night, there was no reason to disqualify, but rather taking it as an example. Because if that person won 2 times, it was only because the lady luck smiled at him just twice, but because that person introduced at least 2 invoices in the hype . That is, that person did what the mall owners sought to promote competition blessed: to increase the consumption of visitors to the mall to offer a daily prize of Bs 1,000, oo. And increase your intake, to introduce more bills in the hype , that allowed the winner (awkward and arbitrarily disqualified) have more chance of winning. There is nothing illegal in the conduct of the double winner of that night, because that's what I was looking for the mall management. Visitors to consume and consume with the hope of winning the million.
cachicamos
But that night had the responsibility to conduct the contest, did not see well. Free advertising they could get a chance evidently made was something that let pass by. Are they, as responsible for the promotion it needs and seeks the mall in these times, they threw away an opportunity that was of little glasses. Instead of babbling, and be hesitant to ask a girl who just begins to live, silver temples announcer should say he had made a really strange situation: the first prize winner was one of the winners of the 3 previous awards. What the public saw that looked good, as by increasing its purchases or consumption, one person had succeeded in winning for the second time that night and done so with the award of Bs 1,000, oo. Then you know (it could have added the discouraging) the more consumed, the more purchases made, the more chances of winning, as has just happened with the double lucky winner tonight.
Sad, but enlightening experience, lived in the city center KBULLÍN COMMERCIAL Staph 2 Sunday night, March 8.
be seen how quickly customers think to get me through the day you make the car lot that have not yet begun to advertise. Will you show ghosts previous awards? Whoever wins one of those previous awards, would not be access the jackpot? Is it really come to realize the drawing of the truck or be suspended for lack of sufficient procurement, given the crisis that is looming on the horizon very soon? Do you worry about staff ALTAVISTA BUSINESS DOWNTOWN 2 to process the permits corresponding to the INDECU, INDEPABIS or come to be called at that time the institute to protect consumers from promotions, offers, deals and misleading advertising?
Or just held a competition outside the law, as it seems it is being held this contest, and that no part of the promotion and display advertising may be the famous prayer from ADVISED TO PROMOTE INDEPABIS.
