i was at the value-dollar shop buying some cups with ah wong. while queueing up, one insane guy who was in front of me said in a matter-of-fact manner:"give your one dollar to the cashier."
What happen next? Just like what the commentary suggests, i backed out. though i refuse to hand over my dollar to him, i failed to yell at him. to a certain extent, i was embarrassed!!! i cannot help feeling that elevating the number of such cliche situation will eventually label me as a "coward". On the other hand, an Indian lady came to my rescue and said :" Y GIVE HIM THE MONEY? YOU GOT ALOT OF MONEY IZIT? U ONLY STUDENT!!" and then she went on to tell the cashier that he ought to report this situation to the manager and not overlook it. i took it as a hint from her to get out of the situation. thus, i grabbed my stuff and went along. in the process, i saw a smirk at the corner of the cashier boy's mouth. i overlooked it once again. ah wong saw the entire situation but was confused. but ironically, i was more. it was very rich in my tradition that there and then i wud blow up... but i over looked NOT ONLY the insane guy behaviour but also the cashier boy's ignorant attitude.
Maybe I am missing a bigger perspective here or perhaps it was becoz i knew it was a mad guy... but how do u explain for the cashier boy? maybe i was in my school uni. i guess if i wanna make up excuses, i can come up wif plenty but one fact remains.... Meanwhile, I will stay disillusioned.
