Why is it that when celebrities go into a place, service people tend to lose sight of the essence of SERVICE?
I was at the True Value Hardware Store this afternoon located at the 6th floor of Shangri-la Mall to buy a "boquilla". I don't usually buy hardware accessories in this place but since I don't want to go to SM Fairview anymore, this was the most accessible hardware on my way home.
There was only one cashier open and when I got it there was already a queue around three persons deep. There was not much customers around so I reckoned that by the time I got my item there would be no more line when I pay. NOT!
I don't know what the problem of that customer but her troubles affected the next customers after her---me included. Fortunately, I'm a patient man so I waited my turn. The guy in front of me was not and left the store without buying anything. So there I was from third to second in line. This should be easy I told myself. NOT!
5:30pm: Enter Regine Velasquez, Ogie Alcasid, together with their son Nate. At least I'll have someone to ogle while I wait my turn. 15 minutes pass. This lady only bought a couple of items but the credit card terminal was having trouble reading that small card she was using. I'm a patient man, so I just continue to watch the Alcasids thinking of an intro to get a snapshot to give my aunt who is a die hard Regine fan. Another 5 minute pass and Ogie lines up to pay for their purchase.
I continue to think of my strategy to get a photo when another cashier readies to open another terminal. Oh goody! I was ready to transfer to that terminal when this cashier calls on Ogie. What the...?! He was in line only a few minutes and this cashier opens a terminal to service him first! My goodness! What were you thinking?! Is this the kind of service quality that True Value imbibes in their staff?! Favoring the famous over other customers like myself! I almost blew my top. Fortunately better judgement told me to just zip it. I eventually finished my transaction and I got out of the store before I change my mind and make a scene.
Well, I'm not going back to this place! I have nothing against the Alcasids but this store can service all the celebrities they want for all I care!

This design is spectacular! You obviously know how to
keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to
start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Excellent job.
I really loved what you had to say, and more than that,
how you presented it. Too cool!

I believe everything published was actually very logical.
However, think about this, suppose you added a little information?
I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your blog, however suppose you added something that makes people want more? I mean "POOR SERVICE at True Value Hardware Store-Shangri-la Mall" is a little vanilla. You might glance at Yahoo's front
page and watch how they create post headlines to
grab viewers to open the links. You might add a video
or a picture or two to get readers interested about everything've written. In my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.

My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on a number of websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform.
I have heard good things about blogengine.

Any help would be really appreciated!

I do accept as true with all of the ideas you've presented in your post. They are very convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are too short for novices. May just you please prolong them a bit from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.

Aw, this was a really good post. Spending some time and
actual effort to produce a superb article… but what can I say… I hesitate a lot and never manage to get nearly anything done.

Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you're working with? I'm planning
to start my own blog soon but I'm having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique.
P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
