Many families have the personal opinion that shopping at Metro is beneficial as they get a few items absolutely free with wholesale shopping. This personal opinion is backed by the past experience of the families who frequently visit this place. The idea is still quite unique for some people who always go for retail shopping at their local shops and have to pay for everything they buy. This, for them, is a discovery: one they are very happy with. But nevertheless their personal opinion keeps wavering and because occasionally they are still indecisive as to whether they should shop at Metro or the local shops, sometimes they still go out shopping at the latter. For the regular Metro shoppers, the discount and some absolutely free goodies are adequate enough reason.
