Greedy Nature

Sorry for not blogging actively lately - time memang ada, but no access to the computer * :P * Sorry, SP! I will post banyak banyak posts hari ini to satiate your appetite of me ok? * hehehe *

My job do allow me the opportunity to experience a many new experiences, especially of human as it requires me to interact with people a lot. I came across this incident during one of our shows, which really open up my eyes to how greedy and ugly humans humans can be! * sad... *

As this is one show of ours that are open to the public, there are some sponsors who gives out free samples/goodies. You know, those coupons you cut out and then be the first 500 to redeem them at that day kinda tingy? Well, we have that and so, you can see the many ugly sides of human doing just ANYTHING to get free stuff.

The most extreme one is this group of uncles and aunties. They come to the show only and ultimately ONLY for the free gifts. I managed to catch pics of them as evidence! * hehehe *

This notorious group are "professionals". They go around collecting goody bags and the free redemption for God knows what reasons. Ok, maybe the free redemption they can sell or eat the food, but what can they do with the pens, badges and those company merchandise that the exhibitors give to the guests who visits their booth? Not that the goody bags contain samples or wat, at most they contain those paper fans, or nametags or calenders....

This professionals are an organized gang - dont play-play wan! * :P * When the goodies piled up and they dont have enough hands to carry, they put their "operation" into teamwork. Yup, you heard me right!

You see here? They put 2 person "stationed" here to GUARD their reapings, while the rest of the "team" go around scouting for more goodies, or go back in line to redeem stuff. Notice the gunnysack behind the uncle? Yep, they even brought a SACK themselves!


This is the group going home after being satisfied with their lootings! You all should see the amount of goodies they got! To the extend that they need 2 person to DRAG the gunny sack out of the hall! * pengsan * Thats not all, they came everyday consecutively for the 4 days show! Each day with equally more lootings!


I really dont get it why people can go to this extend. This group is not the only one, there are many many more people who were like this throughout the show! They used many tricks and antics slyly to pry for more free stuff, greedy beings... To the extend that they even curi pens! I was put in-charge of taking care the reception at the VIP lounge, and when I went for a toilet break and back, the 2 pens on the reception desk for signing the guest book was stolen! WTF!!!

I really am dumbfounded and are enlighten by these experiences. I still dont understand why people can be this greedy, if for damples, yeah, maybe, but these things are not valuable and at times, a nuisance to the fact we will throw or refuse even when presented, yet these people will STEAL for it........

The world is a scary place....
