Why are you so stingy?

I don't understand why parents are so insistent to waive the payment for additional birthday party guests when we're unable to do so; that they think we can just let the extra kids enter without letting "management" know (yes, you think it's simple, but we don't answer to you, we answer to The Boss); why they don't want the guests' siblings to come along at an additional charge because they've exceeded the maximum number of party guests allowed; why they will think of every reason to avoid paying that extra bit of money to give the kids a good time; why they are so stingy about spending a bit more money for the kids to be happy for one afternoon; why they are so stingy about giving other people an enjoyable day; why middle-income Singaporeans like to act rich but are the most difficult people when it comes to parting with even a cent of their money.

Dear Susan, you have no idea how many times, and in how many ways, you have been murdered in my mind in that 15-20 minutes of conversation during which you tried to make my working life difficult and tried to destroy my amicable work-relationship with The Boss. I am only glad that I am not working today so I don't need to see your face and be anywhere near you while your kid's birthday party was being held. I'd probably curse you a hundred times over every time I remember how you looked like if I knew how you looked like.

Anyway, that was already two days ago (Friday evening), so I'll probably just take it as another crazy customer that I always seem to have the bad luck of handling and forget about her in a week (of constant cursing).

So. Saturday night. Thanks a lot. Now I'll never look at Green Tea the same, ever again. Hmm. But I guess now our actual persons did get more Green Tea than our thumbs did...? :D

(And I want my red Converse jacket back! D:)
