Standard answers
Thursday, 10 July 2008
- HB: Ada lagi kah ini maciam punya frame?
- Staff: Oh, apa yang kena display itu ja yang ada tu. (standard answer)
- HB: Betul teda lagi? (just trying her luck)
- Staff: Itu ja tu miss. (never budge from his seat)
- HB: Bah sia mau bayar.
- Staff: Sorry kami belum lagi diwartakan sebagai cashier. Cashier pigi makan.
- ME: Next time, letak satu signage saying "Please go to the next counter".
This is not the first time. I mean most shop assistants always give you the standard answer which mean honestly there's no stock or they just plain lazy to look for it. I can understand if that particular staff knows his product well. But there are thousands of items in that store and he knows that that particular photo frame has no stock? Miracle isn't it. And what on earth happened to the services by these people? Can they be more helpful? Besides, IT is in their job title, Shop Assistant. I think they rather stand or sit at the station and do nothing. Ting! Punch out and off they go. So gaji buta!

Hi, I guess there are these kinds of sales people...
I would have just walked out.
Reminds me of that movie, "Pretty woman"...when the haughty staff looked down on her, ha ha.
Here, one matured fellow dressed in sandals as hot day went to look at a Mercedes showroom...none of the staff got up to see him as he was dressed in clothes that looked liked he slept in them.
He approached the manager and bought a Mercedes S600! On the spot, cash! The sales people mouths couldn't close! Imagine the commission? Ha ha.
You have a nice day, Lee. -
