I love shopping in SM department store. You can almost find anything and everything under the sun for a cheap price. And a lot of their stuff are really nice. Only problem is, the service (as Simon Cowell would put it) is absolutely ghastly.

Anyhoo, Hunny and I went to Megamall yesterday to buy some stuff he needs for the condo.

[while looking for glass coasters]
Me: Miss, san yung glass coasters?
Saleslady 1: ma'am yung plastic lang?
Me: *nods*
Saleslady 1:andun po. *points to the plastic section department*

i walk over to that area and still can't find the coasters...

Me: Miss, san yung mga glass coasters niyo?
Salelady 2: Ma'am?
Me: glass coasters? san nakalagay?
Saleslady 2: Glass coaster po? aaahhh...sa linens section po.
Me: Huh? Glass coasters sa linens? sure ka? Sabi saakin nung isang babae, dito daw yung glass coasters.
Saleslady 2: Ay ma'am, hindi po ako sure.

After searching the racks, I finally found the coasters. So we get 2 packs of glass coasters, one in blue and the another in orange. Cashier doesn't want to punch in the orange one coz the tag wasn't there. She was worried that the prices might be different. What i don't understand is, both coasters were exactly the same except for the color so i was 99.99% sure that they had the same price.

Me: Sige miss, kukuha na lang ako ng coaster na may tag.
*starts to walk away to get another pack of orange coaster*
Cashier: Kami nalang po kukuha.
Hunny: Yeah, let them do their job.
Me: Okay.
Cashier: Ay ma'am, san niyo po kinuha to?
Me: Kaya nga sabi ko ako na lang kukuha eh.

I walked away from the cashier coz I was afraid I would burst my bubble right there and i didn't want to end up saying something mean. By the way, i don't think they found the coasters so she ended up punching in the orange one without the tag, anyway.

We had to buy a few things at the supermarket before going home. We stopped by the baggage counter to drop off the shopping bags we were carrying with us.

Baggage boy: Sir, ano ang laman nito?
Hunny: Cofeemaker.
Baggage boy: hindi niyo po pwede iwan dito yan. Bawal po electronics.
Me: Bakit bawal?
Baggage boy: hindi po namin alam. basta bawal.

So i hand the guy the "Our Home" shopping bag i was holding...

Baggage Boy 2: Ma'am, ano naman laman nito?
Me: maliit lang na painting tsaka mga candles na nakalagay sa ceramic
Baggage Boy 2: Naku Ma'am, hindi din pwede ipasok yan.

Hmph.

When we got to the security guard..

Guard: Ma'am, pwedeng paki-iwan na lang ng gamit niyo sa baggage counter?
Me: Ano ba talaga?! Sabi nung mga tiga-baggae counter hindi to pwede iwan?
*guard looks at the baggage counter boys as if to ask if I was telling the truth*
Guard: sige po, pasok na po kayo.

Kakabwiseetttt. Service in this country sucks soooo bad.
