That explains why I got a parking ticket outside of PNB whilst visiting the bank.

 

I tried to Google the bisaya word that means “customer service” but here is what I got:

These days come around now and then.

I've had stock clerks look at me like I'm a monster when I've asked nicely if they could check in the stock for a specific common item that's shelf was empty.

I've had that basket issue a couple of times but the funniest is at Robinson when I had a basket with half a dozen items and was in non basket lane and they told me carts only!. I put my basket in the nearby cart and asked if that was good enough. At the end I did make them call the manager which I scolded and thus scolded said employee.

I've waited 15 minutes inside Robinsons (well checking back every couple minutes) for the person who's supposed to work that candy by the weight area near the entrance. Finally asked the security guard who passed it to the nearby manager who promptly found the worker. That worker was pissed I dared interupt them and not just wait longer.

I've been in the senior line before (I'm 38) and have had a young Filipina go through ahead of me no issue but when I get there they say seniors only. Usually they take me no issue however. I've had the same at the premier card lane at Hypermart w/o my fiancee's card and the person infront never presented me but they scolded me.

I will say again though while I know it will raise controversy with the old farts that senior citizens does not mean just old people... it means old *citizens*. As we are not citizens we honestly don't qualify. Now most business's just not to cause hassles have adopted policies that any old fart qualifies be technically have no right to that. However since a number of years back there was a big controversy by old white foreigners I believe a ruling was made or some sort saying every elderly person qualified. It comes down to in our western countries we're overly nice to foreigners, immigrants, and illegal aliens so we expect everyone else to shoot themselves in the foot the same way for us.

 

Like many expats I do a lot in the way of helping locals in my circle..education,housing,medical etc.
But I firmly believe the people & the country give far more to me than I give back- therefore I never abuse their hospitality or take advantage of things like senior lines- things that are clearly intended for the benefit of local citizens.

 

That's racism in my country if you a senior, you are a senior, no matter what country you come from. I go sometimes in that senior lines, even try more than one time, the cashier tells me to go ahead of 4-6 younger persons, I always refuse, because I'm soooo young in my own mind ha ha.

 

Seems to me, you have a problem with following simple rules. You see a sign that says carts and you go in with a basket. You see a sign that says seniors, disabled and pregnant, you step in line. You see a sign that says Prestige Card holder and you step in even though you don't qualify.

 

I don't step in front of anyone, read again, I just state my opinion. Even you and other halal hippies are allowed to have an opinion, but respect others opinions to

 

Yes, I was where are the car parks at PNB corner of Silliman/ Real street?
and I did ask before I went into the bank if it was Okay to park in the corner, He said yes.
