Chicken Rice Nazi

Officially known as Oriental Wok is a little Malaysian place in Melbourne CBD. I went there today for the first time in 3 years and I couldn't remember how much it was back then but it now costs $9.90 for what I now think as a rather ordinary dish because I've probably had better.

She was never known for her level of service. I went with some interstate colleagues once and they were after a receipt for expense claim and her response was too busy but reluctantly wrote one later on.

Today as I pulled out a $10 note and 90 cents in coins, I first gave her 90c and then the $10 expecting $1 back. She didn't say anything and dumped my 90c on the table and came back with 10c change.

True story.

People at work need to chill

Well probably one of them need to but he is stressing everyone out. If you try to understand the issues rather than concentrating only on the metrics (because your ar$e is on the line) you may live longer...

Am I too impolite

Now that I catch the bus more I notice people say thanks to the bus driver when they get off. I even see people do that on the tram (in the suburbs not the city). What's with that? I say thanks when they wait for me when I have to run for it but never really thought about saying thank you normally when I get off. Don't really get it yet.
