I feel SOooo cheated. In the past, I usually bought music books and related stuff at Cristofori because I had a 20% staff discount until last March. However, I terminated my contract with them and from then onwards, had to get Anlin to help me buy them because she was still suffering under the bureacractic administration and enjoyed the 20% discount.
But I recently got to know about Sweet Classics at Shaw Centre when I needed to get the theory 2007 past year papers because Music Essentials and Cristofori both would not stock those papers before this year's exams; which is when I realised that I've been paying exorbitant prices for music stuff at Cristofori! For the most recent past year paper (2007), it only cost $7 at Shaw Centre. But at Cristofori, a 2006 paper cost $11.20. DAYLIGHT ROBBERY!! This also means that after the 20% staff discount, I'm still paying around $2 more than I should. Ok, I sound like I'm overreacting. But having worked in Cristofori for awhile, anyone would know that it's not exactly the best of companies to work in.
I'm never getting anything else from Cristofori again. Period.
