Ask Uncle for a Piece of Chip

As you know I was working as a Pringles promoter for two previous weekends.

My job was to give out samples and persuade customers to buy some Pringles chip.

Since I have to promote potato chips it is obvious to say that my prime target would be children and teenagers.

Whenever there was any children or teenagers happen to drop by I would happily offer them some chips.

What annoy me to the max was when those children came by with their parents they were too shy to ask for some chips.Here comes the parents acknowledging their children.

COME BOY/GIRL.ASK THE PRINGLES UNCLE FOR SOME CHIPS!

What the hell!Do I look like an uncle?

Without any hesitation I clarify things right away.I told those parents and strengthen that I am a KOR KOR I am not an uncle!I am YOUNG!

There was another incident which made me feel very STRESS!

I was walking with my area supervisor whose age is twenty eight.We happened to drop by one of the credit card booth.

I don't usually catch the attention of the sales person because they knew that I am a student that may not afford a credit card.

Surprisingly I caught one of the sales person attention.She actually hand over a pamphlet to me.

She was trying to persuade me to sign for the credit card by offering me free GPS device.

I was pissed!

My supervisor happened to be twenty eight and none of the sales person give him a pamphlet.

The point is I still have not reach the age of twenty one yet I got a pamphlet.

What the hell is wrong with those sales person!

She managed to recognised me right away.I was pleased.

Experience vs Qualification

I was talking with Jamie yesterday.She thinks that experience plays a bigger role in getting an awesome job.Awesome refers to a well pay job.

I cannot agree with her.I think that qualification is the key to secure a brighter future.

She has a point that experience is important.However I just didn't like the point which she claimed that studying Form 6 is a waste of time.

What I see in my current working environment is experience is the one that counts in this working society.

I just found it not acceptable.It is ridiculous!
