Guys,
I'm not angry or 'panas' whatsoever lah! we should pity these low - end workers. Some of them do not have the diploma / degree to get a better job, or don't have enough funds to start their own business. And some of them are wiating for their SPM / STPM / university entry results as well, so for this particular group, it's just a temporary stop for them. About Shell petrol station ( and that you have to press the button part ), only selected Shell stations ( i.e good CC volume ) get's a fully automated CC machine at the pumps, the rest gets nada. I still think the best way is just to drive in, get out from your car, pay cash at counter, smile and say thanks to the cashier / or swipe your CC yourself ( Esso, Mobil, Shell etc all got diff way to swipe cards due to diff brands of CC machines ), then pump the petrol yourself, if pump attendant coming to you to offer help, just smile and say thanks, finish up and chow lah.
underwater : For what ever reason customer wont look down at the staff if they treat thier customer nicely. Both party happy and nothing to loose. -> are you sure? I've seen customers who 'brag' or just be plain rude and high - nosed even with a nice, kind pump attendant lah. It's like the old saying : If one wants the other to be nice to him, then he must 1st be kind to the other. Right - o?
