rude

i've always been cautious, especially when security is at stake. you can't blame me if i tell my staff to politely tell off solicitors (beggars, promo people, preachers). i actually don't face these people, knowing that it's hard for me to say no. hehe.

the other day, everyone was busy (yup, the salon was full! yey!) and the supervisor was out. and this salesman, with a bag full of goods slowly approached the salon's entrance. so i had to face him. i was not able to stop him from entering. so i smiled at him and said:

me: ay sorry po, we are not interested.
him: sandali lang naman po ito ma'am.
me: ay sorry po talaga, we are not interested.
him: trained naman kami to speak kaya i won't waste your time. (kulet!!!)
me: (still smiling) eh kasi po may nagpunta na kanina dito na pareho ng dala niyo, hindi din namin inentertain eh...
him: iba naman ako dun eh...(kulet talaga!!)
me: hindi po talaga...
him: oy alam mo ang ganda mo! (looks at everyone inside the salon) di ba ang ganda niya, kamukha niya si toni gonzaga...(o di ba binobola ako!)...
me: thank you po, but still we're not interested.
him: alam mo actually yung manager ang kailangan ko eh, andito ba siya?
everyone: (in chorus) eh siya na yan eh!
him: ah ikaw ba manager...akala ko KATULONG ka dito eh! (the nerve!!!!!)
me: you know, the more that i am not interested with whatever you're selling. you can go now. please. leave.

he was apologetic upon leaving. but the damage has been done. honestly everyone gaped when he said that. such a loser! some people would rather be rude than accept rejection. to think i was extra nice to him. if it weren't for the clients, i would have mentioned that his tie did not match his shirt and that his hair needed combing.
