Just read that because of Mecca’s new store in Bourke St grand opening, they are shutting down trams going through the Bourke St mall from Russell to Swanston st for four hours on Friday 8 August. I find that pretty appalling they’d do that for a shitty retail store opening

Mecca is the epitome of teenage to 20 something year old girls buying an overpriced lip balm because someone on Tik Tok said it was good. Avoid like the plague. I remember when Mecca was tiny and now there’s a new brand there every few months.

They also have deals with certain brands so they’re “Mecca exclusive” in Australia, so people from here miss out on the sales the brands have in other countries.

I’m not sure appalled is a proportionate emotion? Though it’s been a rough week for commuters.

I hope everyone will be choosing their waterproof mascara though, could be quite cold and wet.

Yeah, gutting that public amenity and infrastructure once again takes second place to private corporate interests. I kinda think the public should find out what Mecca paid in compensation to shut down a section of PT for their own profit.
