Westfield woden - Indoor Sunday market?

As a mother, I hate commercialised days like Mothers Day, Valentines Day and Xmas… (after all, if you love and appreciate someone, you should be telling them every day of the year!!!)…however I dread the thought of being given an item from any cheap stall including:
– Sock stores
– Perfume stores
– Car > fund raiser ticket sellers
– Foxtel displays
– Roof repairs
– Window Double glaizings
– Charity of some sorts
– Ugg boot sellers

Crikey!!
– Gardening tools

With the rent they can charge I guess they have to do it to make money, they are answering to shareholders after all. But i hate how congested it makes it.

Whilst we’re on the subject…one thing that really DOES annoy me is calling the place “Westfield Woden”. It is, has always been & always will be known as “Woden Plaza”, or simply “the Plaza”. 🙂

So, nothing forces you to shop at Westfield Woden, right? If its too crowded, just walk back out and go somewhere else. If enough people do it, the mall might learn.

I’d put it (as I have) in the “minor inconvenience for a few seconds” category, navigate your way around them (& the prams, skateboards, whatever), smile & go about your day.

Or run amock with a katana.

+2 justbands. It’s just not worth increasing your blood pressure over is it.

Instead of frowning at the obstructions, try looking for the clear path and let your eyes smile.

+1 justbands. If only Canberra drivers got that concept.

Its not as if Westfield are hard up for cash…

Makes no difference, the greed is constant.

I went to the shops and things got in my way!

LOL

I work in said westfield woden, and on friday, there was like only the socks, double glazing, and foxtel, and possibly the roof one. (it was either the glazing or roof..) and they’ve been there forever. I popped into work on saturday and was like “..yup. this is new??”

And i’m now kicking myself that i didnt take a photo or anything, sorry.

I know the ones you mean, and they don’t bother me as much as the mindless prats who mill and dawdle in the middle of the walkway, the skateboard snots who walk five abreast and the young mums who use their baby carriers as battering rams.
