I went to Jusco just now with the intention of buying sport shoes. Since sales assistant was nowhere to be seen, I went and asked another sales assistant standing nearby if she could get my size. She said that the sales assistant in charge went for his lunch break and wouldn't be back for another 40 mins, and because she wasn't in charge of the particular shoe brand, she didn't know anything about how to get the shoes I wanted from the store.
How the fuck is it so difficult to find a pair of shoes from the store? You look at the ID tag on the shoe, you look at the sizes available that ought the be stated on a sticker on the sole, you go to the section of the store that holds so-and-so shoes, and you search for it, godammit! It doesn't take a specialist or a genius, for fuck's sake!
This means that when the sales assistant goes for his lunch/dinner/shit breaks, the entire section that he's in charge of goes into sleep mode. You can't fucking buy anything from there till the sales assistant gets back. How bloody efficient is that? Let's say he's on leave for a week. How?
To the Jusco boss: some of your workers are being paid to be stupid nincompoops, and they're blaming it on your system.
How many times have you walked into a store, asked for a size, and without even bothering to check or even look at what you're showing her, the sales assistant tells you, "Oh this one sold out." An even worse answer you could get: "Donno."
They should just hire Indonesians or Bangladeshis, because our local workers can be just so damn clueless and unwilling to do anything about it.

come on, give that sales assistant some slack. there's the minority with IQ below 60 that still needs to make a living.

i'd be very, very troubled if u ppl decide to write me off just like that. sad fact is that even if some are paid quite lucratively for this kind of sales assistance job, they can never see the overall effect of going the extra mile. not in this country, at least. Thais are way better in this sense.
