On June 6th, some media reported that when a supermarket in Chengdu opened, the eligibility to purchase Moutai could be drawn after purchasing a certain amount. One person bought a lottery ticket and bought nearly 7 tons of rice, and got the qualification to buy 9 bottles of Moutai. However, he went to the supermarket to fetch the rice, but the supermarket denied it, saying that the man had taken the rice away!

“Their monitoring has also been adjusted. It hasn’t given me the result yet, so I have been procrastinating.”

Not eligible to buy Moutai

010-June 3, 2010 is the opening day of a chain supermarket in Chengdu Wanda Plaza. In order to promote customer consumption, opening activities are in full swing. Mr. Tao said that he bought 268 bags of pearl rice in the supermarket at a price of 100 yuan, and the total consumption was 26,800 yuan. Each bag weighs 50 kg, with a total weight of 6.7 tons. It is too heavy to be taken away on the spot. After checking out, he left the supermarket and was about to find a truck to take Mira.

“I didn’t take it when I checked out, but the store said I took rice.” Mr. Tao said.

Mr. Tao said that when he was looking for a truck to pick up rice in the supermarket the next day, the other party said he had taken the rice away. There are 10,000 question marks on Mr. Tao’s head and more than two hundred bags of rice. Not sure if he took himself away?

Subsequently, Mr. Tao asked the supermarket to check the monitoring, but after obtaining the monitoring, there was no result, “has been dragging on”.

Not to mention chain supermarkets, which are private convenience stores, where there are quite a few surveillance cameras. It is nothing more than the problem of Mr. Tao not being able to pick up the goods. Why is it so difficult to solve?

Mr. Tao said that the reason why he bought so many bags of rice was to participate in the supermarket lottery: if he bought more than 388 yuan, he can take Maotai to buy it once. The winner can buy the cheap Tianfei Moutai for 1499 yuan per bottle.

According to the receipt in Mr. Tao’s hand, every four bags of rice is a receipt, and the checkout amount is 400 yuan, with the words “lottery” printed on it.

Obstacles in picking up

Because there were too many meters, Mr. Tao couldn’t take it away by himself, so he went to the draw directly after the checkout at the cash register. After all, Mr. Tao is here for this. But after the lottery was over, when Mr. Tao wanted to take the rice, the supermarket said Mr. Tao had finished picking up the rice. Mr. Tao recalled the situation at that time. He used a tray to pull Mi to the checkout counter, but did not pull it out directly. The high-definition camera clearly shows that more than 200 bags of rice cannot be taken away casually.

Regarding the question raised by Mr. Tao, the supermarket staff said that during the opening activities, the supermarket was short of staff, so it took a little time to deal with this matter.

Supermarket staff: “Because we didn’t expect to say how you bought the rice, and didn’t release it, we also found it strange.”

The supermarket said that if Mr. Tao really bought the rice and did not take it away, after investigation, he would take away all 268 bags of rice.

Supermarket statement

After being reported by the media, it attracted the attention of many netizens. On the one hand, they were curious about the reason why Mr. Tao bought a lot of rice, and on the other hand, it was the explanation of the crowd. After understanding the cause and effect, netizens have left their own opinions. Some netizens believe that for the supermarket chain, this product is not worth deceiving, and there is a misunderstanding between the two sides; but some netizens believe that the responsible party is in the supermarket, so the cashier must be impressed with such a large order, “the supermarket is a bit ridiculous.”

Driftwood stumps have been lying in the riverbed for hundreds of years After being salvaged, the driftwood stumps are created by craftsmen into wonderful works After 15 years of collecting, Mr. Nghia owns more than 3,000 m3 of driftwood. Among them, he chose the most beautiful and satisfactory wooden stumps and then hired workers from Hue and Nam Dinh to sculpt into nearly 40 works of art of “terrible” size. These works include: two sets of 12 animals, Buddha statue, rockery, 24.5m long painting, house full of driftwood, 3D painting table, set of tables and chairs… The sculptures are very lifelike. moving, soulful like being told stories of time. These works are being displayed at a tourist area in Cho Moi district. According to Mr. Nhi, it takes a lot of time and effort to carve works from driftwood because the sedimentary wood on the river bottom for hundreds of years is as hard as iron and stone. When processing, the saw blade is easy to blunt and difficult to shape. To complete nearly 40 works, the craftsmen took more than 5 years. “Driftwood is mostly big trees, several hundred years old. Due to many different impacts, the tree was buried in the riverbed for hundreds of years, causing the wood to disintegrate, leaving only the strong and hard core. Therefore, large monolithic driftwood is very rare and it is almost impossible to identify what kind of tree it is,” said Mr. Mr. Nghia added, depending on the shape of each piece of driftwood, the artisans will sculpt based on the natural shape of the tree. In particular, the beauty of driftwood is often hidden, so the creator must have a keen observation eye, rich associations to discover it.

Throughout the apartment space in Thao Dien ward (District 2) where his family lives, from the 4 walls to the ceiling, the window frames and the bedroom are decorated with a series of glass works made by himself. present. They are made entirely of pieces of mirrors and broken glass that are discarded on the street. Levitt see you Zing at noon, because this is a short time in the day when the sun shines directly on the glass “Baby” statue hanging on the first floor of the house and creates a beautiful light effect. Gabriel Meranze Levitt decorates his home with artwork made from recycled glass. “I started making glass items three years ago after meeting old friends in Mexico. During the day, they do their main job, at night they indulge in their own hobbies such as painting, music or making crafts. I was startled to realize that creativity is what I lack in life. Back in Vietnam, I accidentally saw many old glass panels being thrown on the street, so I came up with the idea of ​​​​making works with them,” Levitt shared. Love broken glass “Baby” is a glass work that Levitt inspired by his young daughter. It was a statue of a girl with curly hair dancing. The work weighs about 7 kg, is hung in the corner of the skylight, where the sunlight shines down. “Every time I see my daughter dancing and having fun, I always feel magical. She looks like an angel, full of energy and happiness. I recorded a video, looked closely at her image, and created a work that embodies that spirit. Last Tet holiday, after visiting my wife’s hometown in Tien Giang, I went to Saigon first and focused on finishing as a gift for my children. Levitt took 5 weeks to complete “Baby”. First, he shaped the core of the statue with construction foam, wrapped it with a layer of glass mesh to ensure its sturdiness and limit the shrinkage and expansion of the model when the temperature changed. Finally, glue the mirror pieces on the outermost layer. “Baby” was inspired by Levitt’s image of his lovely daughter. Levitt enjoys talking about the process of making his works. After picking up old glass panels at home, he started to come up with ideas and learn how to cut and grind glass into the desired shape. “I watch many videos on how to work with glasses, but never look for other people’s work. I think when watching and then imitating someone’s work is copying their work, I don’t like that. To this day, I still don’t know if anyone in the world has done the same work as I am doing.” Levitt’s art products sometimes come from improvisation, some come from his concerns about cultural and social issues. The work is called “Storm of Change” inspired by the fight against acute racism in the US. After 3 months, he completed the model and hung it on the ceiling, right in front of the house. The work weighs 15 kg, consists of a cloud (size of 100x50x40 cm) with 3,000 pieces of small square mirrors – symbolizing America as a unified mass – and 130 different colored rain drops, representing the racial diversity, such as whites, blacks, and yellows. Levitt’s latest creation is a table lamp placed in the bedroom. When the lights are turned on, the light reflects through the polished pieces of glass creating an impressive visual effect. The lamp has a height of 106 cm and a weight of 20 kg. Artwork from broken glass of American man. Private world on the rooftop Before moving to Ho Chi Minh City, Levitt lived and worked for an NGO for 3 years in Hanoi for 3 years. In the last year of the project, he met his wife and after only 3 weeks decided to follow her and move to the South. “At first, we just thought about moving here to see if there was an opportunity to stay together for a long time, and also for me to look for something new after my project ended. The love is growing, we now have a little princess. We run a social enterprise together and look for NGO programs to help people in need.” Levitt often spends the evening making products. Recycled glass items have helped him find joy in life, promote creativity and implement many good ideas. The top floor of the house is the “private world” of the American man. The narrow space was lined with collage tools and hundreds of pieces of broken mirrors and glass of all shapes and colors that he had collected over the years. “On the way to work, if I see a piece of glass left behind, I will notice it and come back to bring it home after work. I can’t always find a glass that fits what I want, so I just bring it back and wait until I need it to take it out. I like the patterns and lines of the glass edges after being polished, the light coming on makes them look even more beautiful.” Although it is just a personal hobby, Levitt is always serious and devoted when creating his works. After coming up with an idea for the product, every night after her daughter was asleep, Levitt usually spent about 2 hours working on it. During the day, he has to deal with work, train personnel, at night is when he has absolute focus to do his work. “Not long ago, I had about a week of running out of ideas. Tried so much but couldn’t think of what to do next, I spent some time sitting at a coffee shop thinking and finally coming up with a new idea. For me, making recycled glass is just a personal hobby, but I still need to be serious when pursuing it,” Levitt expressed.
