When a customer reminds a waiter that he forgot something, he should apologise and serve whatever he forgotten right? At least that was what I thought. Instead, the waiter just simply said, ‘ Oh it’s just a bun so it actually doesn’t matter if you get it or not ‘.
In another incident this lady who nearly charged my mother a few hundreds extra (few hundreds extra, mind you) for something that my mom didn’t have to pay, put on a sulky face and stood her foot when my mom enquire her about it. She then stormed off to ask he colleague. Upon returning, her face was even more dark and grim when she got to know that she was at wrong. So, everything was put to right isn’t it? NOT. She forgot the magic word. Instead of apologizing when my mother confronted her, she rolled her eyes and said whatever. Whatever???
On the other hand, there are people who apologise profusely. Even for stuffs, which they are not at fault. I call it the sorry virus (courtesy from my friend). There’s this girl who said sorry to her lecturer for not doing well in her quiz. It was just a quiz, God… And she didn’t do that badly. Besides it’s not the lecturer’s loss, it’s her own loss. So instead of apologizing, she should work harder. I think the lecturer would appreciate that better.
Is the world turning upside down?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word, at certain cases.
