Due to the hard economic times, people are treating customers like royalty. In fact, it is becoming suspicious over the last few weeks. I count at least four “thank yous” from random strangers almost daily lately. The mpesa lady thanks you, the supermarket attendant thanks you, the waitress thanks you, even the petrol station attendant will thank you! Ni kama owners of these businesses have made it a policy. I posted this because yesterday I heard too many “thank yous” that I think the economy is heading to the dogs. When employees start thanking you for no reason, I think the economy is doing badly. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be too helpful and courteous to strangers. Who on earth thanks anyone for withdrawing 1500 from Mpesa, or buying one energy drink from a supermarket, or a bag of fries from a fast food restaurant.
People are improving on customer service , good sign.
Walk into a Mac Donald in the gulf and see now Filipinos welcome you and say good by after just spending about 600bob worth of food. It’s just that we are slowly realising customer service and the small thank you and welcome , see you again, go along way in maintaining customers and business.
your dealers?¯_(ツ)_/¯
filipinas are generaly courteous with their ma’m ,sir attitude,visit manila and you will be thanked by a lanye too.
There’s one thing Asia does better than anywhere else: service. best observed in japan.
It’s a privilege for a host to welcome guests and make sure all their needs are seen to. This applies in every aspect of life, in shops, restaurants and even helping strangers in the street. Huku kenya ni kiburi na madharau ndio imejaa.Manners maketh man
Juu umeamua kutuambia uli toa 1500 na vile uliispend, malizia basi, ulifanya nini na ile 840/- ilibaki after hiyo ‘shopping’ yako?
Hata mimi nimeshangaa sana hii weekend. Kila pahali nilikuwa naenda kununua kitu unasikia tu unaambiwa karibu customer na ukinunua unaambiwa asante na karibu tena. Niliona hiyo kwa duka, soko, mpesa, hoteli, lodging, bar, butchery, matatu etc. Hata kuna pahali niliingia kuulizia tu kitu fulani na hata sikununua. Hata baada ya kusumbua muuzaji na kuniangalilia bei kutoka kwa catalogue, nilisikia amesema “asante customer.”
unataka kutusi mtu for withdrawing 1000bob?
It goes along with customers relationship
The suprise after being thanked tells alot about your social circle. Singomatha guru
