Yoghurt. Last Sunday, I woke up craving for some yoghurt. Off to Mini-Stop convenience store. I grabbed a cup of strawberry-flavoured yoghurt, approached the counter, opened my wallet and took out a P200-bill.
Then the cashier said, “Sir, don’t you have a smaller bill?”
I checked my pockets and looked for a smaller bill. Nadah. I pouted. Looking so apologetic, I responded, “Oh, I’m sorry, I don’t.”
She told me, “But sir, I don’t have change. You really don’t have a smaller bill, sir?”
“I really don’t. If I had any, I would’ve given it to you coz I really want this damn yogurt right now.”
“But sir, I really don’t have change.”
The conversation went on for God knows how long — the girl telling me she didn’t have change and I, telling her neither did I.
I’m sure, at one point, you have experienced something like this. And I’m sure it almost made your blood hit boiling point. I mean, come on, what did she expect me to do? Put the yoghurt back on the shelf and just find another store? Stores are supposed to have change and expect customers to always pay in coins. It’s not my duty to look for change. I’m a customer — and a hungry one at that.
So what did I do? I opened the cup of yoghurt in front of her and said, “I’m willing to wait.”
Those who come between yoghurt and I shall be doomed. The cashier called another cashier and got change from the other register. See? They had change after all.
…
This is actually just a teaser of the next list that I will publish on this blog — top 18 most annoying types of people we encounter everyday. The list is complete but if you have suggestions, hit the post comment button. They just might make them to the list. I already have 18, but I can still change it to Top 20 or something.

Looking forward to your next entry.
hmm. mukhang matatagalan pa yun.
This is one thing I hate about Manila. People don’t treat customers the way they should. Nice post. Can’t wait for the next one.
People don’t treat customers the way they should.
Exactly. At hindi lang cashiers ha. Drivers. Waiters. Uh, name it.
Oh! Indeed, surly cashiers never fail to irk me.
Are queue jumpers included in your list? How about excessively complacent fundamentalists?
yeah, i have something that involves queues.
damn! you got me craving for yogurt!

hahahaha love the attitude!
Come on, let’s start a YOGURT LOVERS Group. Haha. Kidding.
you’re naturally a bitch.
Whoah, I AM NOT.
I am usually very understanding and considerate. Wahaha.
Naku, papaano na lang pag kinabukasan pa sila magkakaroon ng change? Mamumutla ka sa kahihintay.
Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba sa kakulangan nila sa sweldo kung bakit andaming mga tamad na trabahador. Garabe naman yun. Dapat ionoorient silang mabuti ng managers nila na pagsilbihan ng matino ang customers at dapat gawin nila ang lahat ng paraan para maghanap ng barya kung kinakailangan.
ampf
trew, mababa nga kasi sweldo nila kaya siguro ganun. PERO KAHIT NA! Pakshet sila.
e na-ganyan ka na sa MRT? SA MRT HA. Ate, anong gusto mo, mag-bus ako mula dito sa Shaw hanggang sa Taft? Sana pagbalik ko may panukli ka na.
Peyksyet sila.
E yung mga nasa loob ng elevator na nakita ka na nilang tumatakbo at sumisigaw ng “wait lang po!” tas pag malapit na malapit ka na, isasara pa rin nila yung elevator.
MRT? Weh? Haha. Hindi pa naman ako naganyan sa MRT. tangena nila no. Wag nga silang magdrama ng ganun.
ehehe..
mabait ako.di ako mahilig magsuplado.wala lang siguro sa sistema ko.
natural na natural dating sa ‘yo eh..hekhek :p
hoy hindi naman natural. haha. minsan lang naman.
Annoying sakin yung mga mamang taxi driver na humihingi ng patong. E taena nila, kaya nga may metro eh. O kaya yung mga taxi drivers na namimimili ng pasahero. Pakyu sila.
haha. meron ding entry sa list ko that involves taxi drivers na humihingi ng patong.
hahaha. my son!
haha. i know right? haha
nangyare din to sakin sa mini-stop banawe. i said (in my best what-are-you-stupid? tone) “You’re a store. You’re supposed to have change.” Ayun, may change pala.
OMG Ayn, naimagine kita ng bonggang bongga dito. Wahahaha. Tikman ang taray a la dimaya. Haha. Nasindak sayo.
Gawain ko to lalo na sa mga fastfood: Pag andyan na yung order at sasabihin walang change, papa-cancel ko yung order. Usually, lalapit ang crew sa manager para manghingi ng panukli. Mas hassle kasi sa kanila pag i-cancel pa ung order lalo nat andyan na yung food. LOL.
Pero I had the same experience sa Chowking, manager mismo kumuha ng order ko, tas wala daw siya pang-change. Responsibility nya na gawan un ng paraan, pero ako ang inaantay niya mag-provide ng smaller bill. Ayun, binawi ko pera ko sabay labas ng store.
ako rin! usually, binabawi ko pera ko tas lipat ako ng store. but no, nainis lang ako that time so nagmaldita ako. haha
i remembered your blog–this entry–this morning. bwiset yang ministop sa san miguel. i was seriously tempted to do what you did… pero i figured maxado pang maaga para mag-bitch. hehehe.
dapat pinapasabog yang mga 24 hrs stores na walang panukli e.
hahaha. i miss you ES!
miss you too!
PASABUGIN NA YAN! wahahaha
dope!
after reading this, i encountered the same problem a day after.
i was tempted to open the bottle of soda in front of them, just like what you did with the yogurt, but i was too nice and just gave them a 20 peso bill instead.
Clever. hahah. All Thumbs up
Ilang thumbs meron ka Kuya/Ate? Hahahha
