Had Tim Hortons’ craze served a lesson, Pakistanis wouldn’t have gone ballistic over another brand! While reserve banks may be empty, shopping malls surely aren’t. In a recent twisted turns of events, the Annual Summer Sale of a local brand, Sapphire, saw shopping turn into a brawl.
The brand’s outlet in Madina Town, Faisalabad saw a plethora of women throwing hands over their dresses on sale. The slight disagreement, aggravated by a crowd and continuous screaming and shouting, turned in a cat fight which later on involved husbands.
Lo and behold, the angry parties saw red and fired shots which escalated the situation, and ultimately cooling when police arrived at the scene.
With six people apprehended, the incident served as an insight into the society which is on the brink of bankruptcy, but have all the money and time to fight — quite literally — over clothes sale.
The brand instantly became a trending topic on Twitter in Pakistan with thousands of users criticizing people and sharing pictures and videos.
