Fat People Should Walk

Ooooo today started pretty badly at work for me. Thank goodness I wasn't screamed at by any pax but I met with enough stupidity. I think I might have a little too much suppressed anger and today, it was starting to leak. But being the Miss Congeniality that I am, I still managed to smile very sweetly 80% of the time. "You wanna comprain?! Better luck next time hor." Anyway, as soon as I reached my counter, some Indian ladies required my assistance. I called the SPECIAL ASSISTANCE unit and met with a very rude staff. When she picked up my phone and listened to my situation, she decided to be distracted by her colleague and talked to him. Arg, she wasn't listening to anything I said and further complained my phone was soft. We both decided to put down the phone very curtly and I muttered "Bitch". A poor pax waiting for his turn must have overheard me and I now feel very sorry. Not a very nice image but I was pissed mad.

To make my day worse, I encountered 2 more rude SINGAPOREAN pax. Ah ber then???

Rude pax #1: Wanted to collect a free travel bottle but only 2 counters were designated to distribute them. I told her it would take about 3 minutes to reach the next counter and she boomed, 3 MINUTES?! Why so far?! (yeah right, like it's my fault.) She decided to stand in front of my counter for 3 minutes and brainstorm over her moral dilemma. ROFL, damn it was so funny yet rude at the same time. She ultimately decided that 3 minutes is not worthed the trouble. *shrugs* Left without a 'thank you' or a 'pardon'.

Rude pax #2: Inquired where the pharmacy is. Told her the Guardian pharmacy is located about 4-5 minutes' walk away. She uttered, "So far ar" and shot me a very disdained look. Walked about 20m and decided to come back to the counter; "Are you sure there isn't another pharmacy in the departure area?" Scanned through her from head to toe and decided to help her fat ass move. "No." She shot me a disdained look and rolled off. (Ok, I am NOT proud about lying but her hips need some serious exercise.)

Seriously, Singaporeans always complain about lousy customer service but they should examine themselves when they ask for help. Most come over with very curt and condescending attitudes... are there joy helping these people? Ask nicely and you shall be treated fairly too. Most of us are professional enough to remain neutral and smile but it's really hard when you meet so many impatient people. Just wait, ok Singaporeans? W-A-I-T. And say T-H-A-N-K-Y-O-U when you receive help. Please don't walk off abruptly when we are telling you where or how to go. Congratulations to the Government raising the Singaporean society this manner. Gracious and well-mannered society? I think our Lions would win the World Cup sooner.

That must be why my mum always tell me to find a Malaysian boyfriend. "Malaysians are more polite and helpful." Better yet, according to my sister, "All Singaporean men are short and ugly. Look further." Ahahahaha~
