Customer Service
Two blank guys stood outside, and one of them produced the receipt: "Delivery: 4pm till 6pm." Oops. But mum still wasn't happy. "Masih lambat ah." "Tidaklah bos... Sepuluh minit saja bha bos..." It really was only ten minutes after six, but when mum's angry, she's angry. I knew why, because she'd been waiting since 2pm, and no washing was done because she wanted to wait for the new washing machine to arrive. Problem Two: The hose didn't fit. They suggested we used our old one. "What do you mean cannot fit??" Mum was even unhappier. I don't get it. Why can't we use the old hose? But noooooo that wasn't a solution. We were lucky the part-time cleaner, Anita, was around to help discuss with the Sen-Q men. I don't think mum could last two sentences with them without shooting them with painful words. Before everything escalated to the point Sen-Q was going to mark our house address as 'RED ALERT' I came up with a brilliant idea: Call dad. The moment my sister said, "Hey pa, the hose doesn't fit," Everyone stopped talking and looked at her. Instant solution. The phone was passed to Anita, and then passed to the men. Finally it was solved. I didn't find out how though, because a few other things happened after that. Mum was still unhappy, so we tried to reason with her. It's only ten minutes, ma, not their fault, ma, it says on the paper dated weeks ago that it really is 2pm to 4pm ma, pa gave you the wrong information, ma... Conclusion: Don't talk to ma when you don't want ma to talk. When dad called again, my sister told dad that mum was angry- and then mum grabbed the phone and scolded her, 'Don't bhaa!... Hello darling?' All three of us siblings stumbled to the dining room to hide our bursting laughter. Suddenly so sweet when on the phone with dad. LOLness. Problem Three: The hose was not long enough. Mum stared at the hose, her hands cocked on her hips. "Kenapa tak boleh panjang sikit hah?" The poor man looked at the hose, looked back at her, and then at the hose. "Me-memang begitu panjang bha bos." My sister, who reported the whole thing to me, was still laughing as she talked, and all three of us laughed and laughed until finally we went over to mum and consoled her. Note: When you want to laugh at someone in their face, tell them their SOOO CUTE for doing so repeatedly, and you won't get into trouble. Mum really was SOOO cute anyway anyhow. I went back to my hot milk and cheese on bread. The men were carrying the new machine to the kitchen, and my sister was following them. She had her hand on her mouth, and I thought she was STILL laughing about mum expecting the hose to be longer. But then she pointed at the back of the man's shirt, where there was this BIG clock face, and the words: ON TIME DELIVERY All three of us lost it again. The finale was when one of the men went in to use the toilet. When he came out my sister was puzzled: Why was he off-ing the red switch, for the hot water shower? Oh. For the third time, we had to suffer bouts of laughter as we imagined the poor man in the loo wondering why there isn't any light coming on. Moral Value: Customer Service is NOT Customer Worship ;) |
