Worked half day today. Yiquan's supposed last day today, so our bosses treated us to
Waraku for lunch. It wasn't exactly fun but we stole a laugh at all the taichi that was being played. Kinda hilarious but I honestly pity the people who they bad mouthed about.
I went to work for an event today for my IAP company and this was where I saw
fugly Stinkaporeans yet again. It was written on the website clearly in the
T&Cs section saying that
even an infant requires a ticket. But many fugly Stinkaporeans brought kids along, thinking that they can get free entry, but due to strict regulations, we were told over and over again
to only allow the number of ppl in according to the number of valid tickets they present.
Then they went on to
"Oh I didn't know. If I knew I would have bought. Not that I got no money to buy. But I didn't know. Can you make an exception?"This was considered well mannered ALREADY. Some left and I even saw a kind father sacrificing his seat to let his son enjoy the show. Like WTF your kid is how many months old nia? But I respected the father for doing so, because they didn't kick up a fuss.
The problem came in during peak hour, just before the event commenced so the number of people pouring in was quite a handful, not to mention the increasing number of unruly fugly Stinkaporeans who complained over and over again. Despite showing them the clause on the ticket and telling them kindly that we're totally sold out and we have to follow the rules,
they refused to believe that we cannot make an exception.But little did they question themselves. Who the fuck are you that we can make exception to? The rule is applied to everyone, though not a law, but a rule.
You broke the rule, don't come whining to me about it. One father commented that it's because we don't have a family of our own, that's why we don't understand. Fuck you I understand compassion more than you do. And
I saw a dad sacrificing his seat for his son, why can't you stfu and do the same since you have so much balls to holler at me.Despite 20mins of furious and agonising reasoning with the family, they refused to leave. Unfortunately we ultimately made a call to let them in, though the decision wasn't made easily. We consulted a few people before we did what we did. We weren't proud of it, after 20mins of reasoning, we wanted to go all the way. But we thought that it was for the better good and made this the only exception.
Little did I know that an intern from my IAP coy secretly allowed others to go through and I questioned her, merely asking her if someone had authorised her to do so. But she got offended, seeing that I was merely a part-timer, she asked me who I was to ask her such a question? She didn't need to answer to me.
Ok fair enough. So I said 2 persons in-charge of me (whose rank is definitely higher than her), told me to follow strict rules
not to let ANYONE through based on such cases so how can she overwrite that authority? She said "
I know you work here last time before, but I don't have to answer to you. We only let exceptions when it comes to difficult people. XXX told me it was allowed."So there you have it! XXX authorised you to do so right? The question was fairly simple, I just needed to know who I can look for if I needed to do some explaining. The event was really following extremely strict regulations and if someone found out, then I need to explain right? Don't bullshit to me saying that she doesn't need to tell me anything. I thought for her behalf. If my in-charge were to ask me who gave the authority, I didn't want to say it's her, cuz she's an intern. Someone above must have given her an order one right? So I asked, little did I know it turned out to be an issue.
During peak hours, many such families were stopped and we tried to handle them.
Some claiming that our websites and hotlines TOLD them that children under the age of 3 had free admission. We showed them some of our printed materials taken from the site itself but they wanted more. They wanted to speak to the mgt. 1 of my in-charge spoke to them,
but they wanted more proof that we did not state the clause.HELLO! If you wanted to prove that you saw it, then shouldn't you show it to us instead? So many ppl paid for the bloody tickets, why can't you?
People with hand carried childs also bought tickets from us, do you mean that they did not see the same things you saw? If this were indeed true than ALL families with infants can go through, but yet majority still paid for the tickets.
But these people were obsessed in being right. One old man, a grandfather, even shouted and screamed, his daughter/daughter-in-law trying to cool him down whilst carrying her child. The old man was shouting "
你们很过分。政府要我们生孩子，现在让一个小孩进去都不可以"
I'm sorry to inform you that government
also encourages to improve social grace. You're not showing any and you're acting like a spoilt old man. But the number of families facing similar issues united and jumped onto the bandwagon, insisting that they wanted to see the mgt again. So we got 2 other guys down and we still stood by to our policy, until the families (probably abt 7-9 of them), began to talk/scream/yell all at the same time.
Unfortunately, we let them in, because they were disrupting the traffic flow and they were being rude and unruly. Despite having security guards at hand, we thought it might be better to appease the crowd.
But frankly. Fuck off. If you din read the T&C then its your fault. Try suing then. You accepted to buy those tickets on account of the T&C, you never read, your dai ji, according to the law, once you accept the T&C and made the purchase, you have consented to it already. Dun bullshit and say didn't see, or saw imaginary words.
Ugly StinkaporeansOne family of 6 wanted to come in WITHOUT ANY tickets. Not even 1. She insisted that she didn't know you needed to pay to enter. Like WTF. You thought events no cost one ah? Then you use aircon 24/7 dun pay PUB and say "Oh I didn't know!", see if it works.
She let her kids run through the gates and said
"OH! My children inside there already. Make an exception for me please?"FUGLY. Chased her out after 10mins.
Fucked up. It's times like these when I ask myself abt the identity of Stinkaporeans.
F1 in Sept, I see how it goes.
Youth Olympics, I see how it goes. Probably will end up like China putting up billboards and notices up for their citizens.
A list of "Don't Dos".
Fucking turds lurking on the streets everywhere. It's not like we don't want them to enter. It makes life easier for us. We're just doing our job, no ticket, no entry. Simple. If we make an exception, it's like opening a can of worms.
