Happy Birthday, Mien

embarassing..?

ahh.. i'm a "certified" auntie!.. obviously i hv not been shopping at "higher class" place for ages.. my std Q just before paying at the cashier are: "do u hv any discounts for any credit cards?".. and after the sales person put my items in their bag, AND if the bag is "pretty".. the aunty me will never resist to ask, "ahh.. ur carrier is so nice, can i have another?".. most times, sales ppl do give me an extra one or they will just say, "i'm sorry only one carrier is allowed for one item".. but today at this stupid Converse shop, the sales person said, "i can only give u a small carrier".. then i asked, "why can't u give me another same size carrier?".. then u know how rude her reply was? "okie, u dun want the big carrier? then i packed ur item for u in the small carrier?" and proceed to wanting to take out my item and pack in a small carrier.. stupid silly girl!.. and i'm even more stupid.. i shd hv told her off, "hey, that's a very rude attitude.. it's fine if u do not want to give me another carrier" (and proceed to throw the stupid ugly looking smaller carrier back at her face).. the small carrier is indeed ugly.. but i just suffer in silence.. how silly of me.. zero service.. and the item is exp.. at least to me.. i hv not spent so much on a piece of clothing..

then i proceed to Secret Recipe to get a cake.. ahh.. BEST service ever!.. the ppl there so frenly.. and i do always ask, "do u hv any discounts for any credit cards?".. and the person explain only if i hv Diners card.. then i ask how do i go abt applying, they immediately give me the application form, etc.. psst.. the card is free for 2 years.. but the BEST of it.. upon approval, i will get a FREE cake worth $39.90!! how's that?! cool.. i asked for another application form obviously!.. one for me and one for EM.. then we will hv TWO cakes!!! *drools*.. and another of my Q, "what is ur best selling cake/item/flavor/meal/food?".. ahh.. the sales person went on telling me which is the nice cake.. nice or not, hv to wait for tonite.. but this IS service.. unlike at Swensen, at another time, the waitress said, "i dunno.. i hv not eaten b4.." how can?! u need to promote the food u sell! actually not really BEST service ever.. still can be improved with a smile and all.. but in local context, not bad alreadie.. ohh.. the cake better be good.. so what are other cakes u like beside Choc Banana of Secret Recipe? *thinking of my 2 free cakes*.. shd hv bot from JB.. it's RM69 in m'sia i think.. compare to S$39.90 here.. sigh..

ohh.. i went to Haagen Dasz (sp?!) too.. to redeem a $10 voucher.. same Q: "what do ur customer always go for?".. she said some macadamia nut.. then when i look doubtful, she said, "u can sample them for free..".. and proceeded to let me sample 6 flavors.. yum.. i think she will allow me to sample all.. she is so sweet.. and pretty and young.. anyway, i dare not sample all lar.. my face thick also got limit.. :P.. end up, i settled for Macadamia Nut.. heh.. and i was tempted to ask for more dry ice.. :P.. heh.. can't refuse to ask anything extra for free!! too much buying from wet market liao.. always ask for free pandan leaves, lime, spring onion, parsley leave.. i must remember not everywhere is a wet market! but how can one resist asking? mabbe there indeed is some promotion without me knowing?
