Burger King Freebies

Saturday is normally our groceries shopping day, but today my little angel was not up to it, so we left her in the house to have all the sleep that her young body needed. Hubby and I set on our non planned journey as usual.

Our first stop was at the Orange to register for a new mobile line, so that my present one can be given to my little angel (as she is starting school this week), the norm at Orange is that you will see unfriendly faces with super rude attitude staff, and to be heard you just have to be as rude, however, this Saturday was different, we were met by a staff that was super helpful and nice, so we end up being carried away with all questions so far to be answered by the said staff. Therefore, the time spent at Orange was extended to nearly an hour.

Out of Orange we went to several shops and discovered that it is ridiculous to carry all the groceries while we are still walking around, and at the same time, I have this urge for some hot juicy potatoes chips, which can only be available in Burger King, of course with hubby nothing is impossible, so to Burger King we went just to satisfy our greedy appetite.

The Burger King joint here is very inviting, clean despite the buzzing of locals and tourists together. We were served within minutes, even though the queue was quite long, this is efficient in the true meaning.

Anyways, what I wanted to blog about this joint was how disciplined the people were, free paper crowns for kids as well as balloons were placed so neatly on the table at the entrance, and you can see that each parent will just take one each for their kids and leave. This is so different from the scene back home, where when parents see freebies, they just simply go crazy, and instead of taking what is required, they will start taking whatever is available. This is because they have also got to take home for their neighbors, their extended family or may be their friends too, so by the end of the day only a handful of family will get the freebies, instead of the whole patron of the joint. Weird right, but this is our people’s attitude of greed, even for simple things like balloons and paper hats.

Will we ever change? I doubt so.
