if i were a storekeeper


I just came back from cikampek city, where the navision project for pepsi - the cola drink- take place. it should be a three weeks long project but luckily we can went home for late weekend. i wrote late weekend cos we leave the pepsi factory at noon. its late tough, but its better than no break at all.

last time i joined a project in a dairy factory. we spent 8am-10pm everyday at work, including weekends, and .. the new years eve :p there was a time that we left office at 1.30am. hahaha .. thats why i called lucky, we can have late weekend. yea, the data we need were not ready yet, also cos cikampek is only 1.5hour away from jakarta :)

but kind of sad cos -now im sitting in *bucks- seems that even a waiter looked down at me. maybe cos i looked very tired and poor so when i went to their counter they just looked at me questioning herself "is she going to order something?". when i smiled to her then she realised me as their customer and smile back at me.

it also happened last week, when i went to a shoe store called "crocs" just as i arrived from cikampek. i was in a hurry, cos its late already, i just go to a corner and took a pair of moccasin style crocs. i checked the price for last time i visited the store they give discounts according to our independence day. but the discount tag were gone. and i asked a storekeeper "no more discount?". he starred at me, looked confuse, he was like "are you sure you want to buy them?". whew :( and as quick as i get into the store, i went to cashier and pay. he still wonder at me and ask his friend to serve me. he shocked.

yea, i am an stupid faced-middle aged girl, look tired, messy hair, almost gone make up, oily face with a big backpack. God, if i were them i will look up to my every customer :) even if they come out the store without nothing they buy :)

if one of you says to him, "go, i wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?
