    What I find especially humorous here is the no smoking rule.. almost only enforced on the boulevard with all the trucks and buss's and worn out junk. Very laudable of the city council but I guess they for got the part that probably 50% of Dumaguete households cook on wood or charcoal..

    No. Most of what is burned is leaves, but they do still burn trash.

    I would have to close my windows in my house (before I had whole house a/c) when neighbors would burn...it was just unbearable.

    That is what witches used to say when told about people burning leaves.

    Disclaimer: In no way am I implying that 'Mr R' is a witch and all persons referred to are fictitious (mostly).

    That is true, however, I had a husband on oxygen, so that made it that much more worse....(despite the fact I just couldn't tolerate it, woos that I am :hungover::smuggrin:).

    today in lee plaza supermarket, wasnt buying a lot, but the girl, wouldnt let me pack the bag, anyway, when finished there was a tear on the side of the bag "buslot", so thinking she would just get another bag and drop the torn bag in, i opened the new bag for her, but then she started taking everything out of the bag, when i asked her, why she didnt just pick up the bag and drop in to the new bag, she replied, " customers cant have two plastic's" sir.

    My partner previously worked at Lee Plaza for seven years and I asked her to read your post to disprove what you were saying. She was not a cashier but confirmed what you said as true. She does not know why, but it is Lee Plaza policy that only one bag for items is allowed. She says that Lee Plaza is emphatic about following rules and suspension and sackings are common for diverging. So the stupidity was not the cashier but that of management - I am shocked at the way the management generally treats their staff and the product contractors, but even more shocked that they get away with it.

    Yes, those poor girls a scared witless that if they deviate from what is the rule as laid down by management they will be sacked. Not just Lee Plaza but anywhere. They simply are not allowed to think for themselves or take any initiatives re handling customers. Just follow the rules, do not deviate.
