Last week at a shop had wanted to get a white envelope and this shopkeeper wanted me to take one which had some smudges on it, when I insisted on getting another he was muttering all the time about how fussy and what a nuisance I was, he finally gave me the one I wanted but acted as if it was a huge favor he was granting me and how lucky I should be he was serving me.
Really pissed me off but didn't ask him to shove it (though I wanted to) as I was in a rush. Here I was paying the full price of a product and all he wanted was to push off a bad one to me and saying I was too demanding when all I wanted was my due.
Yea, 8/10 of these small shop owners are pricks like this and behave in a moronic fashion. Some of the things I have noticed:
1. Whine for change.
2. Peep inside your wallet and ask for smaller denominations.
3. Do not hear you the first time.
4. Then yell at their servants after you request them 3-4 times.
5. If they do not have the item, they do not even reply back a NO.
6. Use MC/BC and any "C" under the sun while talking, even with females around.
7. Oogle and stare at females or sit and chit/chat with friends inside the shop.
8. Love to recommend their own ideas.
Example: Buy normal milk, add water and it becomes toned milk. When I want toned milk, and they do not have it.
9. Make faces and/or refuse to take back expired stuff.
10. Sell expired stuff.
11. Jack up retail prices.
12. Do not give the free-bee bolt-ons. Usually sell them off as normal goods.
13. Have dirty and unhygienic storage areas. Rice / flour on floor. Open edible products.
14. No civic sense.
15. Leave the shop and leave behind a wife/granny or servants. These people are not allowed to handle the cash nor do they know what is where. So you end up waiting or wasting time. Last week I purchased around RS. 1000 worth of medicines. Wasted like 15 minutes, cause the shop owner walked off to take a piss, and was dilly-dalying with similar jerks outside his shop.
I am so happy that FDI will happen, and more larger stores will crop up. Bye-bye to the corner shops for me.
