I didn’t realize buying plastic boxes / bins could be so stressful.
The sales agents were trying to help me choose but too much attention on me could be annoying, irritating. They represented different plastic box brands and of course each was pushing for their own products. I felt so harassed.
Sales agent #1———“Mam, kahit ano pwedeng ilagay dito. Eto naka sale, 20% off.
Sales agent #2———“Mam, eto lagayan ba ng mga damit mo?”
Omb——————–“Bakit ito mas mahal?”
Sales agent #3———“Imported na yan mam”.
Omb——————–“Ito sa kabila local kaya mas mura?”
Sales agent #3———“Imported din”.
Omb——————–“Eh bakit mas mura. Saan gawa China?”
Sales agent #3———“Sa Taiwan yan mam”.
Omb——————–“Eh itong mas mahal, saan gawa?”
Sales agent #3———“Sa Taiwan din”.
Sales agent #4———-“Matibay ito mam, kahit apakan mo”.
(He proceeded to demonstrate how sturdy it was. Inapakan nya talaga. Na stress pa ako lalo nung nakita ko nayupi yung plastic”.
Sales agent———–“Tingnan mo mam, matibay yan kahit sipain”.
Sales agent #5———–“Mam, eto lagayan ng Christmas tree. Eto ang binibili ng mga customer namin para sa kanilang Christmas tree, kesa ibalik sa kahon”.
Omb——————-“Hindi ako naghahanap ng para sa Xmas tree namin”.
Sales agent #1——–“Kasyang-kasya dito ang Christmas tree”.
Omb——————-“Hindi kasya dyan ang tree namin”.
Sales agent #1——–“Kasya dito mam, pagbali-baliin mo”.
(???)
Omb——————-“Hindi kasya”.
Sales agent #1——–“Hindi mam kasya? Kahit pagbali-baliin?”
He’s lucky it was still bright and sunny outside my fangs were not yet out. Kung nagkataon, kinagat ko sya sa leeg.
Before my headache worsened, I chose na lang kahit ano just to get out of this area.
