Australians I must say are the friendliest people that I've met. Even total strangers can smile at you, cashiers or sales people will have their best smiles on and ask you "how do you do". Although most of them probably dun mean it when they ask it cuz it's just part of the greeting, but they do have the best presentation and certainly have the "welcome" effect.
However, no matter how friendly they are, there ought to be some reasonability. By this I mean the use of some common sense in some situations. Yes, staff have to abide by policies given by the company, store owner, or complex owner. However, policies no matter what, individuals still have their own set of humanity values. No matter what, sympathy, reasonability, compassion still have to be shown right?
Put it this way, would u choose to humiliate another individual at the expense of following the policy of the company, hence neglected the only humane thing to do which should be right?
I can't blame those who are afraid to lose their jobs so are not keen on bending the rules once in a while. But sometimes, think before saying or doing.
What am I talking about?
Here's the giz...
A shopping centre had a staff who despite the disabilities of two shoppers stuck to the policy. What policy was it? that no wheelchairs were allowed outside the building.
So what happened? One of the shopper had to be carried to the car, while the other got on his knees and hands and crawled to the car. The walkway to the road where the car was parked the nearest it could, was still a fair distance away. Imagine the humiliation, the pain, the hurt, the shock, both of them experienced.
negligence of one's own common sense. Even if I had to put my job on the line, or even my life, I would have helped them to the car, allowed them to bring the chairs out.
What I'm more amazed at was that no one helped. How could it be that when passers-by had the time to look at him crawl to the car and not help? How is that possible?
Where is the compassion?
What is the human race becoming to?
I'm really utterly disappointed at what had happened. And am sad for the 'experience' the two men were put through. Yes they were adults. Full grown men!
I wish I could state more of my thoughts down, but I'm just very very disgusted.
So very disgusted.
When I heard the news...I just felt...disgusted..and..I dunt even know how to put it down in words. Not only reports about it were shown, the graphical imagery of the incident was presented. I was angry..I had so many mixed feelings.
But one thing for sure is that I wanted so very much to know what the hell was wrong with that person!!
