Hua Ping (Vase)
I wonder why do I possess patience in an increasingly decreasing measure nowadays.
Spent this afternoon purchasing toiletries at my favourite store in People's Park and I met Her again. Despite loving the store for its very affordable toiletries, I vehemently dislike, hate, loathe this particular saleslady and sought to avoid her everytime just to make sure I will never create a scene there by shouting at her. But I always had to contact her somehow whenever I wish to take something from that rack with Korean products.
That was what happened again. I was glad for a moment when another salesgirl attended to me today. I had been particularly displeased because a sunblock I just bought the week before stained my clothes. This should not have happened if it is supposed to be for the body, should it not?? Besides, which sunblock for body uses the caption: "for natural make up effect"?? So I told her the problem and requested for a different sunblock. But the idiot had to find Her. Before I could run away, She arrived.
What do you do when a customer has a problem? You listen to her first, do you? But not Her! She went on asking many assumptive questions first. "Do you sweat a lot???" (asked that abt 3 times) etc , etc. I gathered that she thought the sunblock turned brown on my skin and not upon contact with my clothes. I actually told her sharply to LISTEN TO ME! After "listening" to me, she said no customer has ever complained. I told her yes it is good, but what I'm trying to tell you is that it is just not for the body!
She also allowed me to try a little of another sunblock. When I gently rubbed it into my arms, she asked if I usually do it (that is, rub it gently into my skin). She said that when she rubs sunblock into her doughter's skin, she RUBS it in hard. Golly! This woman is thick. I told her I read that you are not supposed to do that. She responded by saying that it's what she learnt in school in Japan. And before I left (cos my patience with this dimwit was quickly running out), she told me that I need to learn the proper way of putting on sunblock as my face is fairer than the rest of my body!
Pissed as I am, I feel extremely sorry for this uneducated dimwit. She looks reasonably pretty on the outside, but is definitely not bestowed with equal measures in terms of brains. Because that was not the first time she tried to make me buy products from her by pointing out (in a rather rude manner) my physical flaws.
I also realised that there are a great many ladies out there who are, like her, not too bad to look at (or even great-looking), but there are not many with the intellectual capacity. Which kinda leaves their beauty hollow at the end of the day. I would think that what they do are probably their one and only skill. Selling products at some low-end market, modelling etc. Although that is a generalisation, because there are intelligent ladies who do the same work as well. But I hope you get my point.
