Ok, here's my theory:
Service industry in singapore stands at more than 50%, which means
that 1/2 of us here while shopping are regarded as customers, while
we are working, we take on the opposite role, as a service
personnel (so called).
Assuming there is indeed a problem with service standards in
singapore, high chances it would be reflected here, in the form of
oblivious forumers, service providers by day giving terrible
service and not knowing/admitting to that.
Which goes on to explain why there is actually a perceived fault
with the unhappy customer who started this thread. The customer is
paying your wages. Do not foget that.
Bad service comes about because for some reason (due to poor
education and bad parenting) the service personnel assumes that the
customers somehow "owe" them their wages. I do not need to
elaborate, most of us here know this and have encountered it at
some point in our shopping lives.
It is time to admit, we have a problem, a very serious
problem.
Thanks you for your time all, and to those who still attribute a
fault to our poor thread starter, I hope you are not a service
personnel. If you are, you are in big trouble, and you are
oblivious to that.
