what the...?!
The one thing I hate most is certain people with an obvious lack of courtesy and plain rudeness.
My recent weeks' of training with BB has left me with an indescribeable impression. One time I was at the office, I was at the pantry and I took 2 tiny packets of M&Ms, and before I could even turn around, a certain pantry staff told me, "Miss, you can't take so many packets, only one." I was thinking, "If that were the case, please do put up a sign." However, I didn't say anything.
The next time I was there at BB, I was having lunch with a colleague once again at the pantry before our seminar, and the pantry staff came up to me and said, "You can't eat anymore, your seminar has commenced." I was truly appalled. This time, I thought, "Firstly, yes, thank you very much for your kind reminder, secondly, it is really not in your position to tell me I have to stop eating." I was very upset about how rude the staff was, yet, not one to create trouble, I decided to leave things as they were.
The third encounter, I was having lunch with a different friend at the pantry after our seminar, and the very same pantry staff came up to me and said the same thing once again, "You can't eat anymore, your seminar has commenced." This time around, I corrected her, "I am not attending the afternoon seminar, my session has just concluded." She glared at me, frowned and then said, "Very well then, show me your pass." (Being that we have our session times printed in bold on our passes) I showed her my pass and then she just walked off. Believe me, I have absolutely no idea what overcame me to even show her my pass! There was no reason for me to have to do so. She was clearly accusing me of false information, and my having to show her my pass was to prove to her that I was indeed not the liar which she had already in her mind branded me to be. I was extremely offended. When I returned to office, I called up BB and lodged a complaint. But wait, it doesn't end here.
After that incident, I finally went back down to BB for yet another seminar yesterday. And the first person I saw after my seminar standing there was (no surprises for guessing who) the very same old pantry staff. She was with her fellow colleague clearly discussing very loudly about wanting to tell me off. Problem was, she couldn't put a face to my name. So, there she was standing around, running around trying to find out who I was. Thereafter I realised that because I attended 2 seminars in the same day, BB made an error and printed out a second pass for me, which I'd not collected from the reception since I'd already gotten my first pass. The pantry staff thus assumed that I didn't make it to my second seminar. She told there talking all about me very loudly the whole time I was having lunch. I really felt sick to my stomach. It's unbelieveable how a professional corporation like that could have such rude staff. She was standing there gesturing and claiming that she would not hesitate to tell me off. Well, here's my two cents' - if she does ever come up to me and tell me off, I will calmly decline to respond in any way, and simply ask to speak with her manager.
There, I've got it off my chest.
