My other half had just left for a week of business trip in Iloilo. (We’ll meet there on weekend for Dinagyang Festival…Yippeee!) On my way home last night, I dropped in the supermarket to buy few stuff to stack in the fridge. I just started plucking items in the fruit and vegetable section when courteous sales crews started greeting me considerately. I thought it was usual part of the SOP but I noticed that such courtesy were too exclusive for me as I observed more civil approached given to other customers. I started to be conscious when I consistently experienced such special treatment as I passed through rack sections. I was in the partition of beverages eying for some L-Carnitine enriched fruit drink when a promo-girl from the other section approached me handing two boxes of 3-in-1 instant coffee. Right before a single word came out to impose her marketing strategy; I took advantage of refusing her politely right away. But the girl managed our conversation as she started to ask me little personal information. I thought the whole thing was part of a survey interview, but I made hesitation when she asked for my phone number. I refused to give mine. I’m about to leave when the girl gave me clue on the puzzle- as to her, somebody in the group is interested in knowing me (blushed). According to her, I was being noticed for months now(weird). After knowing all those facts, I left politely and proceeded on the next section (paranoid). I was on the last rack when another girl approached me secretly handed a mobile number and a name in a small sheet of white paper. The girl giggled and immediately left requesting me to take time sending text on the said number. With was all kind approach and i can say that no -offensive situation happened. Instead, it just made me smile as it gave me recall of those crush and puppy love encounter during high school time. I know I am not getting any younger for this teenage stuff but somehow, in one way or another, it was a flattering experience to be appreciated.
P.S. I get confused on the name. The funny thing is that, I can’t figure out if it’s a boy or a girl. I didn’t bother to know, I am not interested anyway.
