I was at Westgate outlet to shop for some things. I approached a lady who happened to be there. When I asked her if she was able to help me find something, she immediately said, "I'm not Popular staff," in a rude tone. When I told her off and asked, "Is that how you treat customers?" she responded, "I did say it politely," and gave me a "heck care" look. I told her that was rude.
Then I asked a Popular staff member, who was kind enough to assist me. (His name is Jia Wei, by the way.) And I found out the lady was a vendor (I think she was from PARKER). So what if she was just a vendor? That's not the way to treat people.
No doubt, I love to shop at Popular, but at least there should be basic courtesy. That's all. Even if you don't work for that company, you still need to treat people with manners.

Popular place for books and stationery. It's a small and compact place where you'll likely find whatever you need for school, including textbooks.

Stationery haven! They have a separate section for scrapbooking. It's nicer than any other store I've visited.

Books, stationery, art supplies, school supplies, games... Is...is that a cookbook? It is an assessment book haven and has basically every pen in the country and an infinite supply of school materials.

Really cluttered aisles with many boxes to trip over. Aisles are spaced so tightly that you can’t go down them if somebody else is in the aisle, making it feel claustrophobic. Staff were helpful. Not too many books. It was strange to sell food there too.
