More Whining - Forced to give personal particulars at the door

Some Singaporeans seem to complain about the most trivial of things, such as this letter to Today's Voices page about how the writer was allegedly forced to provide his personal particulars before being granted entry to a warehouse sale.

The writer's claim that he was forced to provide his particulars is patently incorrect.  Common sense should have informed him that:

1. The warehouse is a private property.
2. The owner/leasee of the property has a right to impose conditions for granting entry into the premises.
3. The writer has no entitlement to enter the premises and to the sale of the marked-down goods.
4. Therefore, if he is not willing to provide his particulars, he can shop somewhere else.
5. There is no 'free lunch' in a commercial dealing.

Common sense is not easy to find these days.
