It got busy for me this evening. I had to go to the night market, but I also had to go to the big supermarket on the other side of downtown to get some dust bags for my obsolete vacuum cleaner. I knew I saw some from the corner of my eye the last time I was there and sure enough, I found some. Not the same brand, not the same fit, the hole is smaller, and it cost me 20 bucks. I saw some vacuum cleaners with dust bags on sale there. I took a dust bag out of one of them and showed to the clerk and I asked, "Do you sell these?" He said, "No." I said, "So you sell the vacuum cleaners but not the dust bags?" I didn't wait for a reply. It looks like they do sell dust bags online, but I need it now. And that's another advantage brick and mortar stores have over online shopping. Then I had to go to the night market and buy fish, "satay", and my dinner.
