I am the kind of person who is a shopaholic, and I really love to shop. Several months ago, there was a very bad situation. After that, I was thinking about my current shop where I always get my clothes and items. I went to the shop in a hurry to find a very good gift for my mother. She is very valuable to me, which is why I had to get an expensive gift. I went to the shop that I always visit. Because of my busy schedule, I was waiting for my meeting. That's why I hurriedly got an expensive gift, which was a bag. I chose her favorite bag, and they assured me it was original, not fake. We avoid fake items. I believed them and purchased it. I rushed to my meeting that was at 11 am. After that, I arrived late to the first day party, and there is no chance to arrive late to a party. But in the early morning, I came to the party late, bringing her favorite gift, which was the bag. When she received the bag, one of her friends remarked that it wasn't real. She liked it, but she said, 'You are such an invaluable daughter. You don't deserve that kind of fake thing.' At that moment, I felt very dissatisfied and disappointed in myself because I had trusted the shop's staff. After that, I returned it, got my money back, and went to another store to buy the original one, which I then gave to my mom. After that experience, I won't buy anything from that store again.
