yesterday, i went to the supermarket to pick up some office
supplies (snacks) as well as some shaving balm... so i went to
Giant at IMM.. being a sunday it was crowded as heck.. but i
observed a few things..
- some asswipe went to the 10 items or less express counter,
decided his basket had too many things, and abandoned all his
frozen food at the side of the lane.. that included ice cream,
frozen chicken parts and frozen vegetables
- having 2 brats and your wife with you does not allow you over 30
items in your blasted shopping cart and going to the express
lane
- lining up with no items and then getting the rest of your family
to keep running up and adding more and more things for the cashier
while making others wait is just not on
- brats who run up and down the aisles screaming in a very crowded
supermarket should be gagged, tied up and locked up in a room
- sampling about 5 mangosteens while feeding your loin-dropping
bits of it while buying about 10 mangosteens is just downright
unreasonable
- ripping apart the packaging of various toiletries to smell them
is just rude
then i went to Best to see if i could get cheapo 5.1 speakers for
my DVD player.. a few more things i noticed..
- store clerks were congregating together (about 6 of them) and
chatting while there were people who looked lost with a
product
- allowing your brat to bash (literally) at the demo X-Box 360
while looking on indulgently is irresponsible as heck
- like in a supermarket, you do not open up sealed boxes of
accessories to 'examine' them if you have not bought it
- the store should teach the store clerks about the product instead
of saying "i don't know" or worse, just stare at you blankly when
you need help...
generally at the mall, people seemed to be in a rush and some were
downright obnoxious..
- a couple with a trolley were waiting for the lift by themselves,
and i joined them.. a huge group (i think an extended family) came,
and when the lift came, they just barged in and filled the lift,
without waiting for those inside to come out and they just cut in
front of the couple and me who were waiting way before
them...
- loud conversations over the mobile phone is bad enough without
using hokkien profanities with every other word.. and he wasn't
even arguing.. he was laughing while cussing...
- the use benches or seats to put food litter like bones or crumbs
is a sign of bad upbringing
sometimes, i wonder what happened to basic courtesy?
there.. my rant of the day
