"No, this is really too unexpected and surprising. I didn't expect that someone would remember my birthday…"
Although her mood had eased a lot and she was no longer crying, the lady still held the staff member's hand tightly.
She really didn't expect that someone would remember her birthday and give her a surprise on her birthday!
She was already forty years old this year and was the mother of two children. She was also a single mother who had raised her children alone with great difficulty.
Her eldest daughter was already in high school, and her youngest son had just graduated from junior high school. It could be said that the family was full of places where money was needed. As a woman, she did not have any skills and could only do the most ordinary work.
The family of three had a lot of expenses for food and clothing. The pressure of life was simply suffocating her.
The reason why he applied for a membership card at Red Flag Supermarket was because he had bought a Walkman for his eldest daughter the day before yesterday.
Her daughter had told her that she wanted a Walkman so that she could learn English anytime and anywhere. Her daughter's English results had not been very good.
She also knew that her daughter wanted a Walkman because she wanted to learn English. However, most probably, many of her classmates around her already had one. When she had nothing to do, she could use it to listen to pop songs.
However, a Walkman could cost hundreds of yuan, and the most expensive ones could cost two to three thousand yuan. Her family's income was all dependent on her, and her monthly salary was just enough to support her family. She could not save much money at all.
Even the cheapest 300-yuan Walkman would cost half of the family's savings!
Therefore, her daughter had been making a fuss for more than half a month, but she never bought it. In the end, her daughter gave up on the idea of a Walkman. However, every time she walked on the street and saw people holding Walkmans and wearing headphones, her eyes would always be filled with envy.
As parents, who would bear to mistreat their children? Moreover, his daughter's request was not high. It was just a Walkman that many children had. He could not even give it to his child.
The day before yesterday, she heard that Red Flag Supermarket was holding a promotion. Someone only spent more than 200 yuan on a Walkman. Seeing that it was much cheaper, she gritted her teeth and bought one for her daughter.
The membership price was 258 yuan, and the membership card cost 10 yuan. The total was 268 yuan, enough to cover a month's worth of food at home. However, when her daughter got the Walkman and hugged her with surprise and excitement, she still felt that the money was worth it!
He had come today because he had already applied for a membership card. The goods in Red Flag Supermarket were indeed cheap to buy at the membership price, so he had come to buy some meat and vegetables to prepare for home cooking.
However, she did not expect that someone would send her a birthday cake when she was paying!
As if she suddenly thought of something, the woman suddenly let go of the staff member's hand and touched her pants pocket. She opened her mouth for a long time before asking,
"This... How much is this cake? I'm here to buy groceries today. I only have ten yuan on me…"
When she asked this question, the woman felt very awkward.
She bought more than half a kilogram of pork belly, some vegetables, and a bag of salt. It was a total of more than eight yuan. After buying everything, she was left with 1.3 yuan.
Even if she hadn't bought anything yet, ten yuan would be enough to buy a birthday cake, let alone 1.3 yuan?
This was a luxury item!
To put it bluntly, a nine-inch birthday cake would sell for at least 50 to 60 yuan. The expensive ones could even sell for 80 to 90 yuan or 100 yuan. It was almost one-tenth of the monthly income of the people of Shanghai!
If it was a normal family, they might be willing to buy it for their birthday once a year, but her family…
Even for her child's birthday, she could not bear to buy a birthday cake. It was really too expensive. With that money, she could cook a lot of dishes, enough to cover the family's expenses for a few days.
"Big Sis, you might not have heard what I said just now. Because you're a member of our supermarket, this birthday cake is a birthday gift from our supermarket. You can just accept it.”
"You really don't need to pay?" The woman asked in disbelief.
"There's really no need. You can just take it without worry.”the staff member replied.
"Alright, alright. Sister, I'm not afraid that you'll laugh at me. I've never tasted a cake before…"
"Then go home and have a good taste. Enjoy your birthday with your family. Isn't that what people our age pursue?”
"By the way, big sister, at the end of the month, we will hold an event. All members can come over to draw a lottery. Don't forget to come.”
"Good! Good! I'll definitely come when the time comes, definitely!”
After thanking the staff and Red Flag Supermarket, the woman wiped the tears on her face and walked out of the supermarket with the pork and vegetables she had just bought in one hand and the birthday cake in the other.
Qi Hongyun happened to record this scene.
Qi Hongyun wasn't the only one who was shocked by the scene just now. The other customers who witnessed the scene were equally shocked.
"Birthday cake? Did everyone give it to him? Or would he only give it to her if he met some conditions?”
"Sister, from what you said just now, after we apply for a membership card, other than the discount when we buy things, there are other benefits?”
"There's a lottery draw at the end of the month? Can all the members come here to draw the lottery? What are the prizes?"
"Sister, my birthday is in a few days. Can I come over and get a birthday cake?”
Seeing that a group of customers had gathered around, the staff member could only say loudly,
"As long as you're a member of our supermarket, if you come to shop on your birthday, you'll get a birthday surprise. However, I can't be sure if it's a birthday cake, but first, you have to complete the membership registration like the lady just now…"
"Also, in the last two days of this month, we will hold an event at the entrance of the supermarket. At that time, as long as you are a member who has completed the registration, you can come and draw the lottery!”
" As for the prizes, there's a refrigerator, an air conditioner, a television, a Walkman, a bicycle, peanut oil, washing powder, and so on…"
Seeing this, Qi Hongyun did not stay at the supermarket's exit any longer and quickly walked towards the office.
She couldn't wait to find out who came up with the membership system in Red Flag Supermarket.
During the day, he didn't think much of it. He just thought that the price of the goods would be cheaper after applying for a membership card. At the same time, the supermarket would have more income.
But now, she seemed to suddenly understand…The most important reason why Red Flag Supermarket implemented the membership system was not to make money, but to cultivate the stickiness of users.
In other words, it was to cultivate the loyalty of users!
