Time and money
May 17, 2006
Grrr...I thought I could pop into my local Wellcome supermarket at lunchtime to pick up a few things.
Bad idea.
When I went to the checkout I noticed there was a queue. When I looked closer I saw that it was a long, slow-moving queue.
The explanation is that they are offering 10% off everything. Cue arrival of people who have all the time in the world if they can save a few dollars. Exit exasperated Gweilo.
Sorry - but isn't this planned "anti-discrimination law" not completely RACIST itself ? I remember a few years ago some replacement was sought for some higher position in the IRD...Somebody suggested to look for a gweilo -others (surely) protested against this idea: "Why a gweilo for this position ?" Answer was: "Because a HK people would not do this job for "this salary...." - as far I remember salary was more than 200K a month - def not including other benefits.......Funny right - I wonder who was discriminated there..........
