Today i went make payment for my credit cards. When i reached the bank i saw a group of youngsters outside the bank and another two aged man. When i first saw them i tot, they are oso then bank's customer coming to make payment or withdraw money form the ATM. Cos it is Sunday the bank is not open.
So, i walk in to make my payment then a young guy come and approach my hubby. Talking in hokkien and trying to sound friendly but end up being not professional. I didn't really heard their conversation, cos i knew he was trying to sell something. He call my bf "ah ko , lai ho wa go hun cheng, cho survey chit eh... (brother, gimme 5 minutes to do a survey).. The first question he asked my hubby.. is what credit card he is holding.. My hubby jus tell him he don have a credit card that is my credit card and walk in to the bank.
When we came out, he approach my hubby again. Ask him to apply a credit card. My hubby told him he don't need any, then he asked...." Liao lu eh chat lo lei, ei mai keh to meh?" (Your gf don't wan to apply abother one?... My hubby jus told him i don't need any cos i am going to terminate my current credit card soon.
After that, we jus leave. Then my hubby told me he refer me as my hubby's "chat lo" ("chat lo " is another term for girl friend in hokkien but more in a harsh way la... )I very TL ppl call me "chat lo" . When i first knew my hubby i adi warn him not to introduce me as his "chat lo" but introduce me as his girl friend or "chabour peng yu". Anyway, what i wanna say here is how can they recriut such person to be a credit card promoter. Is ok if dunno how to speak english but you must at least speak proper hokkien and in a more polite way la. The guy that approached my hubby looks like a gangsta more than a Credit Card Promoter. He didn't even wear proper attire. He jus wearing his own T-Shirt , jeans and his hair was dye in blond color. His attire , the way his speak and the method he use to promote the credit card is all wrong. I believe he is not recruited by the bank itself, he probably work for an outsource credit card agent. Cos if the staff was from the bank, usually they will set up a counter with streamers and the staff will be wearing their bank T-Shirt or anything formal. Unlike this jerk... he is just spoiling the image of the bank. FYI the bank is an international bank lagi!
