Queensway shoppin centre.. U are down!

Queensway Shopping Centre... A place i will never go AGAIN.. complicated environment, with stupid vendors, weird architectural structure and again... stupid vendors...
Was intending to accompany my sis go scout for some cheap shoes in the shopping centre but cannot find any that fits the price and the size perfectly.. until...we first came to shop 1 and met this indian lady.
sis: can u sell this at a cheaper price?
lady: sorry.. my stock all imported.. initially its 119.. i cannot sell lower than 99...
sis: ok then.. nvm..
we went all around for another 20 mins before we come to shop 2.. (opp of shop 1)
man 1: $88
sis: can lower somemore? 85 la..
man 1: cannot.. its lowest le...
sis: haiz... den ok ba... sorry...
man 2 (stopped us): if u are from npcc, i'll give u discount.
sis: I am..
Man 2 from police academy.. say will send at a cheaper rate for all npcc cadets..
man 2: ok.. i charge u 85..
sis: ok... den i'll try...
man 2 (come back after a min) : sorry... i dun have ya size for this design.. why not take design B? i'll charge u at $80..
sis: hmmm.. ok den...
Sis tried the shoe from size 4.5 till 5.5.. however, she still felt that 5.5 is a little tight.. she asked for a larger size 6... but man 2 put across to us that he doesn't have the stock.. and when we were abt to pay... to our shock, he brought us to shop 1 to pay the money...
man 2 and lady communicate for a sec.. then started mumbling something to mi... if i din listen wrongly.. she asked for $85 instead of $80 (din really hear properly.. so din really care)
sis: hey.. here got size 6.. can i try size 6
mi: go try...
sis: i want 6 den.. more comfortable...
mi: ok.. we want 6...
lady: oh.. then its $88
mi: WHAT! man 2 say its $80..
lady: he made a mistake! he dunno that i actually imported all these... i jus now already told u that i wun charge lower than 99
mi: but ya man agreed on $80.. furthermore, its unreasonable that we jus increase half a size and u charge us $8 more..
lady: HEY.. its half a size more ok.. need more material!
sis: jie, nvm la... at most i pay for the difference
mi: ok.. 83
lady" cannot
mi: 86
lady to sis: gal.. onli 2 more dollars... take it as give mi face... i already told u my goods are imported... and its already an exception that i charge u all at 88...
mi to sis: we dun want the shoe la..
sis: nvm la.. nvm la...
in the end, i was forced to pay for the shoe reluctantly... was thinking abt it this few days... Can i sue her? haha.. too much law ah... makes mi feel that i shd be hard... not soft... theres an offer.. is there already an acceptance by mi... orally there is, isn't it.. thoh i haven pay in the cashier.. but the man 2 agreed on the 80 bucks... haiz.... sianz...
nv want to go Queensway shoppin centre anymore... bad memories... bad pple...
