Best Employee Award

I was in Bandar Kinrara yesterday morning & I stopped by a newspaper stand to buy, of course, newspapers. There were two stalls along the road, one is manned by a Malay man (probably around his 20’s) and another one is manned by an old Indian man in his 60’s.

I didn’t know which one to choose (suddenly it became the hardest decision that I had to make), but thinking that the old man still has to work despite his age to look for ‘rezeki halal’, I finally stopped at his stall. He approached my car & I told him I needed two papers. He went back to his stall & got me the papers. When he came back, one hand was holding the papers & another one was holding something. He handed me the papers & I gave him RM4 in return…. then immediately he handed me my change…. Oh! He had coins in his other hand, which really impressed me.. talking about efficient customer service here. I smiled and took my change, to which he said….

“Thank you… selamat jalan!” .... and waved at me.

I mean, where can you find a polite and friendly salesperson nowadays? Even those working in renowned department stores couldn’t even smile at you, let alone to thank you for the purchases you made. I was really touched with his friendliness… I thanked him, smiled back at him & drove away, feeling satisfied all over. I knew I made the right choice when I stopped at his stall. He should be awarded the Best Newspaper Salesman in town!

I thought of taking his picture but knowing that my O2 camera will not do the justice, I changed my mind. The screen of my digicam is not functioning properly so all pictures became very blur… and I’m still trying to find time to send it to the service center. When we were in Kuantan during the Merdeka weekend, we had to be satisfied with what my O2 could perform. I did snap here and here although the qualities of pictures were not that good…. look at these...
