    It seems to me that those managements (managers) have a military background

    Staff in general here are not trained the way they should be not just in food but in every industry. It's a management fault every time. So whenever they say "no sir" ask for the manager.

    But they are not rocket scientists. FYI: Rocket scientists work in the field of rocketry and fast-food staff work in the field of ...

    If your job depends on you following the managers instructions then that is what you do or you jon the unemployed. Remember, these youngsters are more than likely working to support their family, not to go and buy some junk as youngsters do in our own countries.

    Most of the disappointing scenarios here (and I have had my share of near-identical ones) have me a bit baffled. What Filipinos (especially managers and higher level decision makers) don't seem to understand is that they have to sell something to make a profit. If it's out of stock due to poor management, then a sale is lost...probably forever. If you can't get those fries without the powder, you might just go somewhere else. Another sale lost over a simple lack of flexibility. In fact, the profit on those naked fries would be (infinitesmally) larger, but management doesn't see it that way.

    I went to CitiHardware to buy floor paint. I had a particular brand, type and color in mind. CitiHardware is a dealer for that brand and they carry that type. But they didn't have stock of the color I wanted.
    "Sorry, sir, we have no stock."
    "Ok, can I order 16 gallons?"
    "No, sir, we can only get these to colors of that type of paint."
    "You are a dealer for this brand, carry this type, and you can't order another color which they make?"
    "No, sir. Only these two colors."

    As I was leaving without purchasing any of the alternatives they offered, the saleman came up and suggested I go to Rejoice Hardware for the paint I needed. If they didn't have it in stock, he said, they can order it. He was right. It took a while, but I got exactly what I needed from Rejoice.

    I'm sorry. The ONLY word for CitiHardware in this case is STUPID!

    And it is STUPID to lose a sale because of strict (often senseless) rules, the bending of which is cost-free.

    You could always speak to the manager of the hardware store and explain to them
    how they could do more business if they weren't so stupid. Maybe they will give you a
    trophy for saving their business from going under if you did that.. assuming the trophies aren't out of stock too.
