Location: mo mo vegetarian stall at amk hub...
It was a blue blue monday, and Mama lazy to prepare dinner. Knowing that most of the vegetarian eatery outlet will be closed on monday, she informed me to "dabao" dinner from food court instead....
momo: *dial the phone* ahmi ah! 你要吃什么?
mama: 有什么东西是 湿湿 的?
momo: HUH? 作么你要吃的东西那么怪的?
mama: aiyah! ulcer lah!
momo: hmm.... horfun, muifan, yong toufu,....
mama: ok lah~ yong toufu lor!
momo: 汤的啊?
mama: 湿湿的当然要汤啦~
momo: *approached the stall vendor* Yong toufu 汤的可以打包 hor?
auntie vendor: 可以啊!
*momo picked the yong toufus from the tray, then wanted to handover the yong toufu things to auntie*
momo: 我要米粉~汤的!
auntie vendor: 等一下! 你给我 serve 完这个 customer 先。
momo: Orh!
auntie vendor: 小弟你要什么huh?
momo: 我要米粉,汤的,打包的hor! 还有饭一包!*hand over the yong toufu to her*
auntie vendor: 你的饭 是菜饭huh?
momo: yah!
*Vendor prepares the rice, and also cooked the yong toufu ingredients in another pot*
auntie vendor: 要什么菜来!
momo: 小白菜,茄子,还有豆腐。
*after finisehd picking the dishes for my "zhap-chai berng", she went back to the pot for the yong toufu... around 10minutes later, she put two packet of things in a plastice bag and put near to the cash register.... the packaging for that two packets are those stylofoam box, so i assume my beehoon with soup should not be ready yet...*
another 5 minutes passed, that auntie already serve 3 customer, and still yet to finish my bee hoon and soup for the yong toufu that I have ordered.
*seeing that I have STONE near the cash register for quite some time, auntie vendor said something that stunned me...*
auntie vendor: 小弟!你等我啊!!! (also very rude tone)
momo: *This is way too ridiculous!* 我的娘豆腐好了meh? o.O
auntie vendor: 好liao ah! 放在这边这么久 liao 你没有看到啊!
*FUMED UP! This auntie really 找死!... I immediately switched on my auntie-mode also*
momo: HUH!!! 我要娘豆腐汤的leh! 你打包在Stylofoam box 里面啊?!!! (can sense that other customers are looking at both of us)
*she seems to realise that she packed the wrong things, and hurried serve the other customer to "clear the scene"*
auntie vendor: aiyah! sorry lah~ 我打包干的给你leh! 可以吗huh?
*this is fucking crap! repeated two times she still can packed wrongly? cannot let her off so easily*
momo: Then 现在你可以至少给我一包汤,另外包吗?
auntie vendor: 可以!可以!
*opened the stylofoam box to check if she really give me the correct thing... haiyo! more jialat~*
momo: Haiyo!!!! 你连我order 的米粉都没有给我啊!我跟你order 娘豆腐,米粉,汤的leh! 你只给我娘豆腐的料啊!
auntie vendor: Sorry~ Sorry~ 我帮你另外打包!
*she suddenly act very kelian... give me those kannah bullied by step mother de look.... like those typical Hokkien Drama... standing beside me de customer, also an auntie give me a very stunned look. She placed her order with ah tiong vendor,because the auntie vendor and me are "settling some scores"*
auntie customer: 你们有没有红辣椒?
ah tiong vendor: 就放在那里了!
auntie customer: *See See, Look Look* 我要那种切的,不是Sambal Chilli
ah tiong vendor: 没有!拿青辣椒吧!也是切的!
auntie customer: *See See, Look Look again* 青辣椒也完了!
ah tiong vendor: Oh! 没有了,青辣椒明天才来货~
*momo find this ah tiong is just speaking without using BRAIN! One moment tell the customer to take green chilli instead, then another moment say green chilli will only be delivered the following day... Anyway, knowing that I am another unhappy customer of that stall, that customer complained to me also... both of us started chatting right away*
auntie customer: What a customer service they have. These China people are really very bad in customer service.
momo: Yah! One moment tell the customer to take green chilli instead, then another moment say green chilli runs out... Doesn't she knows that the chilli already run out in the first place?
auntie customer: Exactly! They are doing a business here! They should have ensure that their stocks are replenish promptly.
momo: These stall really have a VERY BIG issue with customer service! I wonder how they have managed to survive all these year!... ...
... ... ... ... Auntie's grumble session ... ... ... ...
In general, my advise to all of you! Please don't 同情 these aunties, alot of them have "spoilt the market". Using their 老一辈 status to take things for granted. Any how cut queue, anyhow scold people, anyhow push the blame to youngsters, anyhow act blur... ... ... anyhow anyhow and anyhow! - my mom agree to this too. =)
