Went into a shop selling organic products the other day, as i was browsing through the products, to my dismay the shop assistant just sat blankly as if my presence was not at all welcome.
My intention was to buy a soy based protein for my wonderful sons, i took one among many brands of the said product and started to ask him some informations about the product, he moved away from his chair and walked like a zombie towards me and answered some of my questions not all of my questions.
I looked at the price it was 79.90 for a small can, at this juncture he was standing next to me and suddenly he said this rudely to me in Mandarin without me asking anything else, " If you think this is expensive, there is this one only 40.90 less 20 per cent discount somemore" pointing at another product and i got a little mad now. I tried not to think he was rude untill i heard this from him.
As i was still holding on to the 79.90 product, he began with his big mouth and said something like this, " A lot of customers are just like you, they think this one is expensive, they will usually buy the one 40.90 one," i was furious now, and i shot back at him before i made my exit.
" since when did i say 79.90 was expensive and since when did i signal to you that i was like most customers that ended up buying 40.90 and i think you are really rude" i put the product that i was still holding not back to the self but on the floor and i walked out.
P/S : I don't wear Rolex and that doesn't mean i am short of cash.
yes he is rude but i still dont think that you should just drop the thing on the floor, and now, thats very rude of you too.
ReplyDeleteyou dont fight fire with fire, cause it will only produce a much bugger fire.
though its understandable but its still rude =)
very rude, perhaps his pms.
ReplyDeletewhen i was in oversea, i realised that if they acidentally give you the wrong price (even in expensive boutique), they have to honor it. in malaysia, they just say something nasty. our consumer right down the drain. not to forget our "lovely" attitude to cust...sigh.... after 53 yrs...
that's really bad of him, i hate this type of sales attendant, simply look down at prospective customer...never ever give business to him...
ReplyDelete'..put the product that i was still holding not back to the self but on the floor and i walked out...'
ReplyDeleteGOOD! must learn from you next time!
i notice.. outlooks count a lot! when and if we wear very impressively, we get better treatment.. so many times i experiencd.. but if i wear like ah mah going to market style, i would be treated like "invisible" or "hollow." Ask ourselves, do we treat others the same as we were treated?
ReplyDeleteThese folks just go by their daily job and threw their employer's profits away!
ReplyDeletetoo much Rihanna 'Rude Boy' playin' in his head :)
ReplyDeleteEuguene,
ReplyDeletemaybe that guy got up on the wrong side of the bed. or maybe he had a quarrel with the wife.
well you should have said something like this ."boss actually I had intention to buy two of this tin, but since you dont want my business, I am taking it elsewhere" that will make his day! That way you wont appear to be rude,Sarcastic yes, but not rude.
Have a nice day friend

ReplyDelete真的很佩服你的勇敢。如果我可以像你那样，我的心就不会被所有的不平给塞的满满。。。
ReplyDelete就试过在KL的次厂街（第一次到会）。跟朋友试了几个黑眼镜，然后想说到后头吃了小点再回来买，结果那老板娘用很鄙视的口吻说“试了又不买，你做埋契啦！”
买东西可以不试？试了一定要买？就因为这件事，害我到现在去任何地方买东西都不敢乱动。动了就逼自己买。。。如果有销售员站在一旁，我更不会走向那摊。。。心理阴影呀。。。
this is lousy service manner la. mind you, if he is so good, he won't become a sales assistant in the first place. he will forever remain at the same position and will not go very far. whoever hire him will help the owner to close shop soon.
ReplyDeletegood thing u put it back onthe floor for him to pick it up, hahaha... for one moment, i tot u were gonna proof him wrong and buy the damn product... kekeke... but yea, this sales ppl need to get some reality check, tell them they are rude in their face!
ReplyDeletetrue la, i had this kind of experience b4, perhaps many time la... we haven even said a word, they already say .... "if u think is exp, .... then get this ....bla bla bla.....".... But i always keep quite and walk out the shop .... nexttime must learn from u , put it on the floor .....hahahhah
ReplyDeleteWell..some people are like this. Ignore them. :D
ReplyDeletenowadays ppl still not learning fast enough... those with beautiful shirts may not the the one that can spend coz they have SPENT it on their outlook!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you were humiliated. I think that man humiliated HIMSELF. That a**hole.
ReplyDeleteyeah, such sales ppl REALLY piss me off...
ReplyDeletejust because I dress in T-shirt & slippers doesn't mean I can't afford to buy what you're selling...
Grrr...cantonese say "dog eye, lookdown on people".
ReplyDeletePatience... To err is human, to forgive is divine. Maybe you were the last straw that broke the camel's back - he had been through it so many times already. But rankly, the sales people in our country have no formal training - they are indeed very rude...
ReplyDeletebeen in that situation before. but normally, i will never let that person get away from treating me like dat...will get any means contacting the boss and get my point across. =p
ReplyDeletenowadays many shops dun look into service of their shop assistant much,what a sad thing right..but lucky now got FB,most of the shops got FB page,maybe you can look for it and complain there! haha
ReplyDeleteJst spread around the rudeness of this shop. I'm sure in no time, the shop will be out of business!
ReplyDeleteKinda reminded me of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Yes, we human beings are a judgemental lot.
ReplyDeleteSo as long as we understand and expect it to happen, then we wouldn't be so worked up about the lil' incidents.
Chill ya. ^_^
+Ant+
oh dear, u put it on the floor..good for him!
ReplyDeleteit is so sad that ppl now always judge ppl on outer appearance... dress rich, carry expensive bag/watch...so superficial. I too have felt this many times from the sales ppl...
ReplyDeletewell, ppl like that who continue to think and treat custs like that would not have a successful business!
experience it before. hahaha. and i usually won't buy a thing from rude person.
ReplyDeleteSo terrible! I hate cocky shop assistants too. Good idea to leave the item on the floor when pissed haha.
