petty matters

I was at Giant Hypermarket the other day.

I bought bananas. the premium kind.

yes, that was all.

The cashier took my money and then gave me back the change and receipt.

I looked at her; she looked at me.

I asked, “where is my banana?”.

she asked me, “eh, where is your banana!?”

she looked left, then right. and said “i think the previous guy took it”.

We paused for a minute..
she continued to serve the next customer.

I stopped her, and asked ” are we waiting for the guy to come back with my bananas? i am pretty sure that is not going to happen.. am I supposed to speak to someone or do something?” i continued.. “are you going to call your supervisor or am I supposed to be the one who looks for him and explain to him my situation?”

She panicked abit, since this is the first time she’d experienced banana theft.

She went to look for her supervisor, explained the situation.. and gave me new bananas.

the new bananas cost rm1 more, I won.

Moral of the story, rm1 makes a difference.

I work in a bank.

interest rate for credit cards are 18% and personal loans can go up to 11%; late charges and penalty fees can ranges from RM5 to hundreds and even thousands (if you’re a bad paymaster)

If I can get irritated by the idea of losing Bananas costing rm4.50 .. imagine the amount of angry people i meet on a daily basis.

meh?
