he came back from the gents & i was smiling.
old lady walked in with a walking cane. mcd lady went over to help her settled down, ask old lady patiently what she like to have, confirmed the order, took the old lady monies, delivered the food to her.
warmth & fuzzy.
guy felt tat it’s ‘normal’ hmm. not too sure what does his normal imply.
anyway, kind mcd lady remain me of this sentence, i read it somewhere..
‘there are good ppl in the world. they all could have chosen to be cold, cruel, indifference. that would be easy. brutality, i think, comes naturally to human beings. but they choose to be good’
Part 3:
come on! lets sum up this entry with: worst customer: mcd man
guy encounter so .. he shall write abt it. haha – do your homework boy !
It was super late dinner. Nothing else to choose but MCD…
There were 4 counters and only 2 are open, and i was in the queue. There came a weird guy, abt 35-40 yrs old, came to the closed counter and ask and cashier, “This counter close ah?”… Obvious rite? Or else why got 2 long queues?…
After ordering, i wait aside for my food. The weird guy handed the malay cashier something and said “Can throw for me pls”. The cashier pointed the dustbin near the exit. The weird guy said “Aiya throw for me lar” and push the ‘something’ to the malay cashier…. Guess wat? Its a tissue…. and i saw him rubbing his nose with that tissue!!! So unhygienic!!! The malay cashier bo bian and throw it for him with a disgusted look. If its me, i will die die refuse. I pity the cashier.
Then the weird guy order an ice-cream cone. When the cashier gave him the ice-cream, he said “Huh! So small ah?!”. The cashier goes “Yes, its this size”… He said “Aiyo!”… Shake his head and walk off…. I smiled to the cashier with the watsup-with-him-look…
The world is filled with all sorts of pple….
