| ~Sunday~ 11.30am Hm… My first blog entry. I know .. I know… I took a very long while to post it. But I have always wondered what I should write for my 1st entry. Finally the day has come for me to write something… Nope it’s not about introducing myself, not about interesting things that happened to me, or the great food that I ate… I just wanna vent my ANGER . So just bear with me k? I use to think that I was quite a patient person as many people as thought so too.. However, there’s always a limit to a person’s patience and recently I think I’m reaching that line soon. Argh !!!! For these past 2 years, working here ( not going to say where ), my temper has gone from good to bad, n now bad to worse. I’m not sure where the problem lies… In me? Or the customers in this area? I really don’t want to put the blame on other people, but then again, the customers here really gets on my nerves. I open my retail shop today at about 8.00am feeling energized n happy. But by 9.00am I’m already in a bad n irritated mood. Why? You would ask me… It’ because of a certain customer that I encountered. This customer of mine can’t speak clearly. To me, her actions are slow, words are unclear, a little deaf, unsure of what she wants and slow in responding. At first I was really patient with her, trying my best to make out what she was saying. After numerous questions I finally knew what she wanted… She then asked for a different product and started mumbling to herself. And I said, ‘Har’… a normal expression among the customers here. Then she mumbled again. And I still couldn’t make out what she was saying… so I went, ‘ aunty could u please repeat it again…’. Then suddenly she mengamuk !!! Screaming loudly, saying that I’m dumb, stupid and deaf…. Making remarks saying that i’ve studied so much n still can’t make out simple Cantonese. My God !!! I was speechless… Then in the end… she repeated what she mumbled. Guess what she was saying?... She wanted to have a look at calcium… Who in the hell can hear you when u are mumbling?? And when I passed the calcium to her… she sighed n said a long… ‘ Aiyooooo…..not enuff money’, put down the calcium and just walked away. I was in a state of shock but I still managed to put on a smile and said, ‘nvm aunty, next time then…’. I was actually boiling inside !!!!!!!!!! Was on the verge of letting out some steam. Quite grateful that she left actually, coz just might have said something nasty and regret about it later. It’s now 11.30am, come to think about it… I feel much better already. Thanks to friends that hears my complains every now and then…. You know who u are… Really appreciate u guys. Well enuff of complaints ... Until next time... |
