aisle six

The Lucky supermarket in Soriya Phnom Penh has a set of scales at the end of one of the aisles. It's perhaps the dumbest marketing strategy I've ever seen. Maybe it works for an 80 pound local. For me, weighing myself in a food aisle of a supermarket is without doubt the fastest ticket to the checkout possible... No extra peanut butter. No chockie bar at the cashier. No spontaneous purchasing at all. (Good luck with that idea Lucky...)
