This photo shows a magazine kiosk I saw in one of the mega malls I visited during my retail tour of Manila this week. The kiosk was the worst retail experience and situation I saw: poorly lit, lousy customer service, products sealed and not browser friendly and no sense of excitement. Everywhere else in Manila there are happy employees offering help. Stores are bright. It was like this magazine stand was the poor cousin of the surrounding retail. The magazines themselves were layered on top of each other and while the range was good, the overall experience and situation was not inspiring.
All that said, It was surprising to see magazine represented in a kiosk like this.
as far as i know only in australia we can brouse/read mag for free.
