And it was then that she was proven right. Again. Human err. So do salesmen. Only salesmen err by choice. This Getz salesman promised, I mean promised her that she would get her Getz on Wednesday. Not a day early, and not a day late. But came Wednesday, he turned his cellphone off, and his office phone disconnected. Thursday he picked up his cellphone and said nothing. Late Thursday, Ka Cher went to the showroom to find him with his stinky kambing smile trying to explain the situation.
By then, there was just a huge flock of flies swarming around the cow’s tail…you could not see Mr. Moo no more. Or in short, he already buat taik lah. That was a big mistake. You don’t fool around with my Ka Cher. She takes no taik from no salesman. I mean, come on lah kan…if you don’t have the answer or explanation now, how could you come up with a promise a week ago? This salesman never mentioned anything about Puspakom check, or custom verification at all when Ka Cher ordered her Getz.
Ka Cher asked questions. Tonnes of questions. Like what’s next, and what happens after that, and how long of a wait for this, or that. Did she ever. But then, I guess it all comes down to sales…eh? As long as a salesman gets to sell whatever it is he is selling, khalass! Say all the true right things, get the customers convinced to buy, they buy, and that’s it. The right things remained right at the time they were spoken. Nothing beyond. Prove me wrong. Not all salesmen/women – but most of them – are nothing better than a flock of flies. Shoooh!
