Interesting things that happened at work couple of days back..
Some old chinaman shouted at the cashier over 30cents! He bought this medicated plaster few days back. It was $3.07 originally. So if you pay cash, it gets rounded down to $3.05. So, that day, he bought 15 pieces. OF COURSE, the total cost is $(3.07 x 15). So he demanded why it's 2 cents more per piece now. And he made a huge fuss over it, shouting really loudly at the cashier, as if she made the mistake and refuse to correct it. A couple of staff, including the head pharmacist, tried to explain the rounding down thing, but that chinaman just refused to listen, and wanted his 30cents back. 30cents because 15 x 2cents/piece. Crazy! And while he was making a huge fuss at the dispensary counter, the cashier thought that he doesn't want to buy the products anymore, placed them back on the shelf. After that, the crazy guy returned to the cashier and shouted at her again for putting the items back. He's totally nuts. He spent 15mins haranguing with the head pharmacist, of course anyone would think that he wouldn't want to buy them anymore. The cashier was wrong in handling the situation though. I don't blame her for not keeping her cool, but she shouldn't have made discriminatory comments, which she did. It just made the man angrier, of course.

Interesting. Because my job is pretty boring, especially before the peak hour crowd comes in.

Today I went over to his place! Thanks for driving me there and back, and cooking such awesome pasta for me. It was cream-sauced pasta with ham, mushrooms and prawns. Yummm. Thanks for the mussles as well. We went jogging prior to the meal, but the meal was probably 800kcal at least. Haha.
