Buy Your Diamond Engagement Rings and Get Gas.
That's right. The title is not a typo and I did not make one L'Chaim too many.
News today from India that Consumers can shop for gold, diamond jewelry, and engagement rings while lining up to buy gasoline. Diamond firms Gitanjali Group and Sanghvi Exports, through a joint venture with Spectrum Jewelery, have partnered with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. in a deal that places the jewelry line at gasoline stations.
The stores, called a jewelry C-Store, are designed with 1,500 square feet of retail space. The first store opened in Bandra at a Hindustan Petroleum pump station.
So, it has come to this: Buying an item of infinite beauty that symbolizes Love, Dedication, Commitment, and Romance in the same place where you can buy Toilet paper, Antacids, Car-freshener, Pepto-Bismol, and Pretzels.
My opinion: Tasteless and No Class.
