lets face it. its a practical world out there. if i am the
salesman, i saw chio bu in shop, i will give her good svc what,
bcos like that i can tok longer with her, bio her longer, smell her
perfume, etc etc. vice versa for guys & salesgirls - this is
normal human tendancy.
TS : are there ang mohs behind you that gets urshered to the front
ahead of you? I once read somewhere on why sales staff prefer to
treat ang moh with better - the reason given is becos they are more
pleasant - they would greet the sales staff like "Hi, how u doing"
and put their requests politely "Can i please have...." etc.
whereas locals are often curt & rude. I don't know man, cos I
am sometimes like that, maybe its our way of doing this here.
But reading your account, I am equally crossed as you do and if i
was in the same shoes as you, I would probably reacted in similar
fashion as I don't believe in treating someone differently just
because of his dressing. Hell, there isn't dress code for that
place in the beginning. Its not as if I am shopping in Ferragamo
outlet or something.
Creative @ PS is it ? Hmmm, I will go and try....and I will dress
shabbily, shorts, slippers and t-shirt. I will also be unshaven and
hair ruffled. Lets see if they screwed up again - 50% disount on a
MP3 player, I'll take anytime hee.
