Singaporeans are becoming more of a joke to me as each day passes. They are definitely the biggest supporters of N.A.T.O..
Plus why do customers always think that they are in the right? Working in a video shop is an eye opener for me as to how plain stupid and inconsiderate Singaporeans can be. If a customer walks in these days and asks for, say Kung-Fu Panda, its perfectly understandable because it has been some time since it was in the cinema. But do you know I first heard people asking for it when it WAS still screening in the cinemas?
Today, I heard from my supervisor that a customer faxed in a "DVD wish-list", which I later saw myself, which had a note saying 'Good quality versions please'. Naturally, she picked out Code 1 DVDs which are the best quality of the lot. The customer later called and when she found out that the shop only had a handful of the list she sent, she was indignant and said 'How come you all have so few shows in stock?' Then she asked for some old titles, which the shop did not have and she rudely commented, "New shows you don't have, then old one also don't have?" Then she found out how much the DVDs cost and said "why so expensive?" She also said she worked near our main office, an obvious hint that she was not satisfied with my supervisor
s service.
I had a peek at her wishlist and it was a big fat joke. Amongst other titles, she wanted hellboy 2, hancock, mummy THREE. I realised that most of the list was made up of movies that were either still screening or had just ended their run. Does she think that a legitimate shop would sell bootleg discs? Cause, thats the only way I can think of, to own a movie that is still screening or has just ended its run. I mean, if you think it is so easy to acquire these movies, then do it yourself. Call the producers for a copy. Then there is the issue of cheap and best quality. She isn't the only one. Lots of Singaporeans want the best quality videos available but yet want it to have the lowest possible price as well. Isn't there a saying like " You pay for what you get."?? Use your miniscule brain.. Just try to think for once, it isn't all that hard to actually use your brain properly. This partiular customer is so stupid, stuck-up. Yet she IS the basic model of your average singaporean customer, who always wants something that is new and of great quality to be cheap. Does it make much sense?? I don't think so...
