Ladies and gentleman.. thank you for reading my blog , as I think maybe the title is quite catchy.
I'm not making the title as a joke but it's something serious which I would like to share it with all of you.
On the 4th of January 2010, I have visited MyStore, Miri(located same row with Airy Cafe,Boulevard commercial centre),together with my 2 colleagues a place which you can get various type of imported organic food range from junks to can food. Although the place is kinda small, but it has mostly of things you would like to buy.
I went there with 1 motive only and that is to get Cheeseballs for my mom, as she mentioned that she missed the cheeseball she used to buy from Brunei.
I was greeted warmly by the man in charged and also a girl ( i think is the girlfriend or watever she is ). Then, I just nodded my head and rush to the cheeseball!!!!!!!!!
Hmmm after that I went to pay for it as I dont plan to get anything else (jimat for CNY wat..)
After making my payment, the girl who is sitting next to this guy asked me a question which I stoned for a while. She asked me " Do you need a plastic bag? ".
Oh God, why would anyone asking me such question. It's very clearly that I dont have any plastic bag in hand only my purse and furthermore, I didn't see any notice or poster saying that they are joining the "No Plastic Bag" programme. =_=" damn!
So I answered her Politely I said " yes please" (In mandarine). There she put my cheeseballs in the plastic bag. After that, my colleague went to pay for her Lays potato chip. Somehow, the girl did not asked her if she wanted a plastic bag or not (although she already plan to say no if she ever asked). Fine then, It's not a big problem... She will share the plastic bag with me.
Then.......... another colleague went to pay her stuff.. She bought 3 kinds of things (unlike us which bought only just 1 thing lol), and guess what the Man-in-charged asked her?
He asked... " Would you like to register for our MyStore Membercard? It's free and all I need is your Identity Card (shortform is I.C lah..)."
WOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOW now that is shocking!
This dude didn't even asked us if we wanted to apply for the Membership card. So this colleague of mine feel odd and asked me softly why he isnt asking us that question so I answered her " That's because we only buy Keropok." She ... --> =_=" and me.. ---> >w<"
I saw lots of good comments about this shop in Miri Community Forum and it's very surprising on how they treat their customer. I'm not saying he is rude or being like an asshole but it's very funny that you actually CHOOSE your customer??!!
Since the membership card is free .. you should be asking the same question to every customer who make their payment. That is how you being fair to all of them.
About the damn plastic bag.. Since you didn't really following the No Plastic Bag programme I think you should make an effort of giving plastic bag to the customer doesn't matter if they buy cheese balls or a bar of chocolate. If you are being strict about saving the environment , then make effort of making paper bags!!
I feel I have been treated like a total idiot in this shop =_="
As a Chinese proverbs said " Dog Eyes Look Down on People " "Gou Yuen Kan Ren Di" (if im not mistaken lah).
