the proprietor is either absent minded, insincere or the volume is too much for him
he needs a system proper to do business online and/or by phone
saw the premises undergoing renovation today
good for him and the business
made payment and informed the proprietor accordingly early April
proprietor replies almost a week later to inform
a) he has only one of the two reels i ordered
b) amount in hand is one third of the actual total
sms-ed the proprietor some frank questions in hokkien
was kind of worked up but decided to play it by ear when i dropped by today
again, they didn't have one of reels I'd ordered ... sighhhhh
the reel was either at home or somewhere else as their inventory didn't have it
collected two reels, and left on cordial terms
he politely declined deposit for the outstanding reel
we shall meet again
i hope he implements a system where he doesn't get caught flat footed
kinda bad for business

kudos to my Klang friend who gave directions ... as good as any GPS if not better !
planned to pick up a reel since the proprietor "confirmed" i could swipe plastic at his shop
I browsed as customers were attended to.
finally got in a word and asked about the reel ... checked it out
whines when reeled .... i wonder
handle paddles looked like it was chewed by a miniature beaver, cockroach or rat
and it was going for RM550!
when i prepped to pay, i was informed the card reader could not be used ... reason given was the lines have been out for a few days. iffy and dodgy at best. i reminded the proprietor of my prior request for confirmation as to whether plastic could be used. continued with the iffy line reason.
if the line is generally unreliable, do tell upfront. instead, i had to find out when i'm there.
a polite 'we deal in cash terms' will suffice. or 'cash payment for used items' will do as well.
the female staff/assistant/family member lacks PR and is brusque.
it's my first time communicating with them in person so i laid aside, albeit reluctantly, my suspicion they were taking me for a ride. should they yank my chain the next time i'm there, they'll get a good bawling in hokkien, even if i'm rusty.
