Retail and Customers (1)

One of the beauty of working in retail is the opportunity to experience customers' behaviours at first hand.  A customer want to lose weight, she bought dietery products but too lazy to return the products she doesn't want to the original place. The products she didn't want were just near to the products she wants, she didn't even bother to think, look, and move her hand to burn a bit of the calories. A girl with acne problem spent an hour in acne section, she picked up every single products but never return the products to the same place. I clean up after her mess when she left, but not long after I tidying them up, she returns unapologetically to the same section and create the same jumble again just before my eyes. Oh my gawd, please girl how can you expect to win your acne battle if you can't clean up after yourself, something that just go without saying. Practice some good behaviours, it definitely will brought up good results and change your life for the better.

Honestly, it doesn't take a lot of effort to put the products back to where it was, I just couldn't understand people sometimes. I think being tidy, kind and responsible  are hard things to do for some people. I wonder the way they live at their own house, they probably often lose things and accused other people other than themselves to have taken their stuffs. When they lose something they might not even bother to find it, or they probably forget they have it, and they just replace it with the new one. They probably got upset quite easily, quite consumptive, big sense of entitlement, always take and rarely give.

These type of customers just challenge me and annoyed me to the bone. My husband used to has the same attitude towards his unwanted items at the shop, he just left the products anywhere and told me that to return the items to the initial place is the workers' job, he gave them the opportunity to keep their job. 

Anyway, oh Lord thank you for teaching me to be patient through these ignorant VIP (very irritating person) customers for these past 15 years 🙏🙏🙏, they definitely here to bring up the best in me.

The Gateway to All Understanding

The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao The name that can be named is not the eternal Name. The unnamable is the eternally real. Naming is the origin of all particular things. Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations. Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source. This source is called darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding. Tao The Ching Chapter 1

Entitlement

People say our young generation is entitled, it is a good topic to joke about for the stand-up comedians. Entitled is believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment. I believe this is not owned by the young generation only, every generation has it, every one of us has it to some degree. This is a problem we have in society in any age, in any countries in this world. I remember when I was a kid, at night during the hot season our house was filled with mosquitos, and dengue fever are quite common in our country.  I can't remember whether I and my sister ever whined about it but I always remember the fact that my mother often stayed up late holding the insects killer racket just to defended us from the mosquitoes. However, My entitlement behaviour took the bad on me, I thought she ought to do that one because she is our mother, it's her duties to protect us. I did not really care how many hours she has spent at our room every night, or whethe...

Character vs Skills

"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” –Confucius “Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” –Theodore Roosevelt "Hire character.  Train skill.” –Peter Schutz Have you ever notice how the recruitment process being done nowadays? The first screening is the employer will judging you from your resume, cover letter and GPA The second screening is they will test your employability skills The next test is group interview and the last test is direct interview with the vendor Through this process, skills definitely come first before the character and ethic. Character and ethics become the last or non existent factors to be considered in. No wonder people are so critical and cut throat at work or at school to be recognised for their skills. And we are wonder how the society become so corrupted?  Hiring competent people with corrupted morale will only bring damage to the society. Low morale people...
