Ah shopping centre landlords!

knox-matser-chef.JPGCheck out the kiosk right out the front of a newsagency in a major shopping centre.  It is offering a free three month subscription to Master Chef magazine to anyone spending $50 in the centre.  I am not against the promotion itself, just the placement of the kiosk out the front of the newsagency, impeding traffic flow and distracting shoppers who might otherwise have seen the Master Chef display in the newsagency and bought a copy.

    That’s really off, given the exorbitant rents centre mmts charge. No consultation was undertaken, I assume?

    This kind of thing is not restricted to shopping centres Mark, our footpath got ripped up this morning ( pension day thursday) and will be replaced after close of business tonight. Good on someone else to decide that customers will have to walk around my front door instead of into it.

    If you wanted the Centre to remain nameless, you probably should have renamed the photo file name to exclude “Knox”.

    Maybe psmith but less than .5% of the 1,500 daily visitors here would have noticed that.
