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. Overpriced bullshit. Especially the skin care. You can get stuff just as good or better from the pharmacy, and it doesn’t come in a tiny container for an exorbitant price.
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.
The three storey store has “coaching”, whatever that is, and a naturopath and stuff like that. Why? What happened to makeup, skincare and fragrance?
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.

I remember also reading about their sales regularly having expired products for sale 🤮
i will fucking PISH if no one shows up
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.
