4/5 Helen C. 2 years ago on Google
I
tagged
along
with
my
friend
who
is
a
regular
at
this
store,
Reliance
Smart
Vijayanagar,
for
all
her
household
needs.
It
was
my
first
visit
to
this
store,
and
as
we
ambled
along
towards
the
entrance,
the
extra
large
glass
doors
of
this
store
were
standing
open,
two
security
guards
or
maybe
ad
hoc
Covid
staff
were
maintaining
strict
Covid
protocol.
All
the
visitors
were
temperature
screened,
made
to
sanitize
hands,
and
face
masks
were
made
to
wear
covering
the
nose
and
mouth.
By
now
all
of
us
are
weary
and
tired
of
wearing
masks
and
are
wishing
the
pandemic
good
riddance.
Walking
from
aisle
to
aisel,
taking
a
closer
look
at
the
stuff/goods
on
display,
you
realise
this
is
a
ONE
STOP
SHOP
for
all
your
household
needs,
it's
like
the
A
to
Z
of
the
Amezon.
All
the
goods
are
priced
from
the
lowest
to
the
highest,
catering
to
all
categories
of
people,
and
accordingly
people
do
their
purchases
depending
on
how
deep
their
pockets
are.
How
this
store
can
offer
so
much
discount
or
slash
the
prices
so
low??
And
believe
me
,
this
is
not
some
gimmicky,
or
some
hokum
,
but
for
real,
the
discounts
are
real.
In
this
store,
there
were
regular
size
buckets
for
rupees
99,
disbeliever
you
may,
but
they
sold
out
like
hot
cakes,
early
birds
get
their
worms,
rest
had
to
buy
the
buckets
at
rupees
350.
How
does
Reliance
Smart
do
it??
It's
in
the
name,
they
do
smart
business.
The
magic
wand
here
is
THE
TURNOVER.
You
sell
100
cakes
at
100
rupees
or
sell
1000
cakes
at
50/60
rupees
,
works
well
right??
The
disappointing
part
of
the
visit
was
the
fruits
and
vegetables
section,
no
no,
not
in
terms
of
prices,
prices
were
great,
almost
35
to
40
percent
less
,
but
in
terms
of
freshness.
Lazy
bones
visited
the
store
at
5
pm,
after
a
good
afternoon
nap
of
2
hours
and
maybe
by
then
people
picked
the
best
leaving
the
not
so
fresh
behind.
The
other
rub
at
this
store
was
the
lack
of
an
express
counter,
people
with
less
than
4
to
5
items
/
things
have
to
stand
in
snaking
queues
waiting
their
turn
behind
people
with
cart/
trolly
full
of
stuff.
This
store
is
a
great
place
to
shop,
you
get
value
for
your
money,
though
one
gets
tired
walking
the
lengths
and
breadths
of
the
aisel,
to
pick
the
right
products.
No
pains
no
gains.
Happy
shopping
you
all.
Yours
truly
was
really
tired
shopping
at
this
never
ending
aisel
on
two
levels,
and
it
being
my
first
visit,
didn't
know
what
is
where
or
was
not
accustomed
to
the
layout
of
the
store,
layout
of
the
goods
spread
and
it
took
me
a
lot
longer
than
others
to
finish
my
shopping.
I
picked
one
product
from
one
aisel,
missed
to
pick
another
product
and
I
did
a
lot
of
to
and
fro
back
and
forth,
and
was
at
my
wits
end
as
if
my
brain
was
not
working
properly
anymore
and
wanted
to
dash
out
of
the
store
keeping
the
rest
for
another
day
and
decided
to
check
out.
It
was
a
long
wait
at
the
cash
counter,
queues
were
serpentine,
but
there
was
a
treat
for
me,
no,
no,
not
free
or
complementary,
but
on
payment.
I
saw
a
lone
butter
scotch
cone
in
the
chillers
and
my
heart
skipped
a
beat,
I
am
a
hater
of
chocolate
flavour
and
never
or
very
rarely
get
a
cone
ice
cream
or
for
that
matter
cakes
and
pastries
in
my
desired
flavour,
it's
always
as
if
backers
are
more
enthusiastic
to
make
all
things
chocolate,
due
apologies
to
all
the
lovers
of
chocolate
flavour.
I
couldn't
wait
to
enjoy
my
butter
scotch
cone,
my
friend
kept
my
place
in
the
queue
and
I
was
out
of
the
store
thoroughly
enjoying
my
cone
ice
cream.
