"Pabili"

"Customer is always right." 

-Yan ang sabi nila. 

Eto naman ang sabi ko:
Siguro may mga pagkakataon na tama naman sila, pero hindi palagi. Minsan hindi maiiwasan na may pagkakataon na nakakairita na sila without even trying. Hindi naman lahat ng customer ay nakakairita, pero hindi talaga matatapos ang isang araw ng bentahan na hindi ka naiinis. Yong tipo na yong blood pressure mo magiging 220/500. Ang O. A, pero totoo. 😅 It's part of my daily routine kaya may basis yong pinaghuhugutan ko. 

So, based on my experiences, (dahil medyo may ilang taon na din tayo sa larangan) I list here various types of annoying customers in a sari-sari store:


The Elite. 
Yong bibili lang para magpa-barya. Halimbawa, bibili ng 4 pesos na kendi tapos ang ibabayad sa'yo 500 pesos. Kagigil. Suklian ko nga sya ng mga benteng niluma na ng panahon. 😏

The Professor. 
Yong ipapa-enumerate sa'yo yong mga tinda niyo. Halimbawa, bibili ng softdrinks, gusto pang isa-isahin mo yong tinda niyong softdrinks eh coke lang din naman ang ending. 

The Dead Fish. 
Because they're just going with the flow.
Halimbawa:
Customer: Pabili po ng isang yosi tsaka isang kendi.
Ako: Anong kendi?
Customer: Kahit ano po. 

Buhay mo yan, boi.... Ba't di ka mag-desisyon ng sarili mo. Hello?!?

The Boomerang. 
Kakabili lang, wala pang 5 minutes bumalik na naman at bibili ulit. Tipong makakailang balik. Hindi pa bilhin lahat ng bibilhin. Paulit-ulit parang boomerang. 

The Echo. 
Kakasabi mo lang, uulitin na naman. 
Halimbawa:
Customer: Magkano po yong sibuyas?
Ako: 7.
Customer: Magkano po, 7?

Bingi lang, friend?

The Ignorant.
Yong magtatanong ka, pero mali ang isasagot sa'yo.
Halimbawa: 
Customer: Pa-load po.
Ako: Anong load?
Customer: Regular 10 po.

Eh ang gusto ko namang malaman eh kung Smart, Globe, Sun, Talk 'N Text or TM. Hindi naman ang tanong ko eh "Magkano?" 

O kaya naman:
Customer: Pabili po ng coke na tig-te-ten?
Ako: (Binigay yong coke na tig te-ten.)
Customer: Magkano po ito?

Yoko na sa earth......😥

The Detective. 
Yong na-total mo na lahat ng binili niya tapos itatanong niya pa kung magkano bawat isa yong binili niya tapos kukwentahin niya pa ulit. Alam ko naman na karapatan yon ng bawat consumer.......pero nakakairita siya para sa akin. Walang tiwala eh. Akala mo naman dadayain siya.  

The Protégé. 
Yong mga masunuring bata na wala pang muwang eh uutusan na nong nakakatanda kaya ang ending mali yong mabibili nong bata.
Halimbawa:
Bata: Pabili po ng kape.
Ako: Anong kape? (Iba-iba naman ang klase ng kape diga. Iba-iba na nga ng brand, iba-iba din ang flavor.)
Bata: Kahit po ano.

Malay ko ba sa tinitimplang kape nong nagpapabili sa'yo. Pero ganon pa man, bibigyan na din nong pinaka common na kinakape ng mga tao. Tapos after ilang minutes babalik si bagets....

Bata: Hindi daw po ito....yon daw pong...... 

*****Facepalm*****

The Niece/Nephew. 
The most annoying of all. The epitome of the word "annoying"---yong mga taong tinatawag kang "Tita" kahit hindi mo naman sila kamag-anak at ang malala sa lahat kahit kasing tanda na sila ni Magellan. Imagine, 28 years old ka lang tapos tatawagin kang "Tita" nong mas matanda pa sa nanay mo..... I mean.........nakaka-oofend po. 
Kaya kong tiisin yong naunang walo eh, pero itong last........ 

Ay ewan..... Yoko na talaga. Uwi na 'ko. 

Ang sabi nga sa kanta:
"Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?"

My Worst Job Interview Experience

I probably shared with you in the past how I struggled to find a job. I've been to a lot of job interviews. And when I say a lot, I mean a looooooooot. I couldn't count how many job interviews I attended. Whether virtually or on site. There's this one interview that goes on top of the worst interviews I attended. It was somewhere in Pasig. It was an agency. I saw the job posting online, so I sent my resume. They texted me and told me that I had an interview. So I went there. ‎  I am not used to wearing shoes with heels. So every time I attended an interview back then, I always left the house wearing flat shoes. I just bring with me other shoes with heels. Then I'll change before the interview when I'm already near the area. But when I had this interview, one of the soles detached from the flat that I was wearing. I was feeling it before I rode the bus, then it fell off when I was already inside the bus. So I had to wear the shoes with high heels that I brought. The

Sat With Ree: Jab We'll Done

Surprisingly, I had my 2nd dose of anti-covid vaccine earlier than I was expecting. It happened last Monday, November 22. If you want to read about what happened during my first dose just click this.  I already expected a long line and a lot of people in the vaccination site, so I wasn't surprised when I got there. It was crowded. It felt like I went to school for an enrolment because there are really a lot of children there with their own chaperone.  I went there at almost two in the afternoon. The good thing is that there are designated lines for children, for those who will be having their first dose, and for second dose. There were only 3 people in the line for the second dose when I got there.  Unlike during my first dose where I didn't wait that long, this time the waiting took me three hours to get my second dose vaccine. Fortunately, there was a waiting area outside and it wasn't raining, but it was the hottest time of the day. I had my blood pressure checked before

Sat With Ree: Westlife The Twenty Tour

Tell me you're a 90's kid without telling me that you're a 90's kid.  So, I say a little prayer  And hope my dreams will take me there  Where the skies are blue  To see you once again, my love  Overseas, from coast to coast  To find a place I love the most  Where the fields are green  To see you once again  My love Taas ang dalawang paa nong mga napakanta. Yieeeeeeee. If you know the song you definitely had an amazing childhood. Natatandaan ko nong bata pa ako nanghihiram pa kami ng VCD ng Westlife don sa tiyohin namin na kapitbahay lang namin. Ang laman ng VCD syempre music video ng Westlife. Tapos yong pinsan ko tili ng tili tuwing nanunuod lalo na kapag si Nicky yong pinapakita. Crush na crush niya kasi noon si Nicky. Tapos ang bet ko noon si Mark. Ang kukulit kasi nila don sa mga music videos nila. Tapos kapag Saturday sa Channel 5 (hindi ko alam kung anong name nong channel basta Channel 5 siya sa amin) music video yong mga pinapalabas. Kasama don yong 'Bop Bop
