The other day I stopped by Hamley's to get Cupcake's birthday present. The lady at the check out counter asked me if I wanted to present to be wrapped. Oh yes, please! That makes my life easier, for sure!
Little did I know that gift wrapping takes a special team. I'm sure it's just a coincidence and maybe it's a specific Hamley's thing :-)
But it takes 3 people to wrap the small birthday present! One person cutting the tape (because the tape dispenser somehow was not working), one person passing the tape from the cutter to the third person, who was doing the wrapping.
You'd think gift wrapping is a fast and easy affair, but wait til you do it a la Africa. The gift wrapping on that day took longer than my actual gift shopping time.
I'm not complaining. I was not in a hurry after all, but it's merely an interesting observation :-)
