| | You won't know how cheap can a person get.
Today a CHINESE lady walked into our office..
here is the convo:
Lady: Hi, do you know where is BENSTA ATHASDF (shows me a piece of paper)
Gina: Hmm...I didnt hear of this place before (It is some indo words)
Lady: Oh..can you check for me? do you have indo map? (she doesnt look like she wanna buy any tour, more like asking for info)
Gina: Hmm...actually no. Are you trying to find a tour to this place or what? (trying to find out her motives)
Lady: Yah, i want to go to this place.
Gina: Ok, let me check for me.
After Cam checked online(She happened to be here..), this place turns out to be Bintan(Name of the ferry terminal).
So we showed her some brochures of Bintan resorts. Cam took a Banyan Tree Brochure for her. I was like " Hey..that is too expensive, show her the Nirwana". Then Cam told me "She wanted the MOST expensive one!"
These went on for about 10 minutes and Cam told me she finally decided she wants to look at the CHEAPEST ones because Banyan Tree is like DAMN TAKAI. (About $1200 single room for 1 night!!)
Moments Later....(Cam left already..rushed back to work after lunch)
Lady: Are these the only pictures you have on these brochures?
Gina: Yes. (Already quite irritated by the obvious insincerity of wanting to buy a package)
Lady: You don't have picture of this hotel? (Points to Banyan Tree Brochure)
Gina: Hmm.. NO. (Obviously don't want to waste too much time on her already)
Lady: Ok thanks... (walked away)
Lady: (appearing suddenly again)...sorry ah...This is the price for SINGLE PERSON? (Points at S$1200 Banyan)
Gina: Yes.
Lady: Thank you. (Walked away)
Lady: (Come back again)..sorry sorry. Do you know which is the hotel that advertise VERY BIG last year at Cityhall??
Gina: Don't know. (Cam told me after that that she already asked this question before.. and Cam advised her to find out from other people that she knows...hehe)
Lady: Ok..So this is single person, SINGLE BED?? (Points at Nirwana brochure)
Gina: Yes, of coz! It is for ONE PERSON.
Lady: Cannot have QUEEN SIZE bed???
Gina: (exhausted..) Of coz not. If you have 2 people, this is the price (Points at TWIN)
Lady: Oh..(Looks "greedy")
Gina: (quickly tries to explain)..that is price for one person in a TWIN Room, if 2 person need to times 2... (coz obviously the TWIN price will be cheaper for one person)
Lady: Ok..thanks (turning away....and then turning back)
Lady: Do you know which hotel has the MOST FOREIGNER??? (WALAU!!)
Gina: Huh...all of them has...since it is a resort place..(her intention is f***ing obvious!!)
Lady walked away.
I was sooo irritated but at the same time feeling sooo funny. So I told all my colleagues and they were laughing like crazy.
Then...20minutes later....phone rang..
Colleague A: YOUR BANYAN TREE CALLED!
Gina: What she wants?
Colleague A: Ask for Banyan tree number!!
Gina: What the hell? (Colleague finding...)
Then...10 minutes later...phone rang...
Colleague B: GINA!!
Gina: WHAT!
Colleague B: YOUR BANYAN TREE CALLED AGAIN!!
Gina: WALAU! WHAT SHE WANTS AGAIN????
Colleague B: She asked if Banyan tree is near the beach!!
Gina: WALAU! TELL HER ALL NEAR THE BEACH LA.
Colleague B: NO LEH...I TOLD HER THERE ARE NO BEACH!!
Gina: HAHAHAHHAAHA
Moments later..Colleague A came back from toilet..
Colleague A: did your BANYAN TREE call?? I am supposed to help her find Banyan Tree phone.
Gina: Yes la.
Colleague A: SHE REALLY CALLED?
Gina: Yes...and asked if Banyan Tree is near the beach.
Colleague A: HAHAHA..tell her it is up on the hill.
Gina: Nearly...B told her there is no beach. wahhaha....and SINCE WHEN did she become MY BANYAN TREE?
haha...its really DUH...at her extent of wanting to hit on some guy...probably rich ones too... :P that is almost one typical day in my office! hahhaa...sometimes we have very crazy person...you can probably remember some of my earlier post about crazy people! hahhaa.... |
