social etiquette
Since i've been selling pretty high-end stuff and serving rich customers, i think i'm in a sort-of position to comment on how to behave.
1. Always be sincere in your p's and q's.
it feels good for the person serving you to be thanked. look, they may not be as filthy rich as you are, but they are human as well. to serve you and your whims and fancies does take effort. so please do be polite and grateful. Always say "please" and "thank you" and always sincerely look into their eyes when saying it. Being rich does not make you a superior human being, and behaving that way does not make you look any better. In fact it just reflects upon you as an arrogant goony who is rude and can not behave.
2. Being drunk is bad.
Drink all you want, but never drink till you lose control over your own body and emotions. No, drinking a lot is not a sign of virility or strength or anything. Especially when you are drunk, with all the stumbling and warbling, you just look a fool. Yes, a fool. There was once we had a female customer whom was drunk and had her boobs out of her top for a free show. Even though according to my colleague, it was a fine pair to look at ( i didn't get to see it. was behind the bar. damn it.hahaah), but it does nothing for your reputation. You don't look beautiful, just a drunk slut.
3. Do not complain excessively.
Try not to comment that the food is lousy, or the product is bad. Because in most cases, the ones at the frontline serving you is not involved in the production of the food or product at all. Not like saying something about it helps. And especially in food, there is a lot of effort put into the preparation by the kitchen crew. Saying it is lousy makes the waiter feel bad for his kitchen. It also makes you look like a haughty bugger - i've seen people feeling embarrassed by their friend's complaining. And what you are eating is probably still better than what most people get.
4. White superiority?
For some reason, the ang-mohs are much, much more polite than the chinese people. Chinese people are most of the time rude and stupid, whereas ang-mohs are most of the time, polite. If they say that the western world has better customer service, and singapore's suck, it is probably because they have nicer pple to serve.
5. Tips!
Please do drop off some tips. It is cool to know you had a great time and is willing to slip out a bit more you know. Ok, this point is worthless. :p
i have a feeling i am going to get flamed very soon, with my lousy blogging and excessive whining of late. besides, there is a mystery tagger who's been going round yfer's tagboard and tagging bad stuff. if it is you reading this, knock it off. it ain't very nice. thank you.
