There is apparently a tradition in some malls in Singapore where the sales staff would greet the first few customers for a minute when the doors opened.
A long stretch of staff will flank the entrance path right to the upper floors.
I never knew about this because I hardly go to the malls in the morning. But one day I needed something urgently. So when the door of this particular mall opened, I was the first to go inside.
I had the shock of my life as I walked down the pathway. Everyone was bowing and smiling at me. It went on even after I got on the escalator and reached the second floor.
So, if you ever want to feel like an Emperor or Your Ladyship, go to Takashimaya in Singapore at exactly 10 a.m.
Bring your GoPro. It’ll be fun.
