I just went to Cathay AMK for a show tonight. But what happen make me very upset.

I am buying 2 tickets , pass staff credit card, sign for it, staff keep the signature slip , pass me back ticket , credit card and customer slip.  As i was walking, with the 3 item on my hand  out of the cinema, suddenly the staff come after me - he just say i took the signature slip, which was not true - he keep it before he pass me back the ticket and card.

He see that i have a slip on my hand grab it , but then later realise it is the customer copy. Next he insist we go back to the counter, then at there he keep accusing me of having taken the sign slip.  I check , no everything was on my hand, he kept it before he pass me the 3 items.  The best thing was he say without the sign slip - I must sign again for ticket !!!  I refuse as if it will mean double charge .

The manager came - instead of being understanding that I am pissed off being accused a thief by his staff for their own mistake of misplacing things, which is their internal issue.  Why drag a customer back to counter just because they misplace their own things and try to push the blame to customer.   The manager try to force me to sign for ticket again which can end up as double charges to my card,  which is unfair .  He say that if since they misplace their copy of sign slip - it is invalid transaction . He even went as far as threaten to by stop me going in and tear up my tickets.  

Imagine you buy things from shop, you pay the casher $20 , you left with goods. The casher misplace the money .... then they come to say you steal things and threaten to take back your items  as they misplace the $20 so it become invalid transaction ? - is that fair  ? that is their own internal company business !!!

In the end, after all the threats, i got no choice by to sign on the customer copy - which to my surprise the manage kept it  ..... instead of just keeping a photocopy  !!! Customer copy is for customer !!!

What pissed off me big time is - it is over just $12 that the cathay manager and staff , shame, threaten  us over !  What about my human and customer rights !!!

Very shameful of Cathay cinema. Instead of being sorry for their own internal mistake, they shame, abuse and threaten their customer and try to push the blame to customer.

I will frankly boycott cathay for such behaving so shamefully over $12. To them customer reputation, time and dignity can be drag through mud over $12 which was their own mistake... totally shameful.

 

 

did u ask them to void the 1st transaction? in the both the customer and merchant slips, there is a transaction reference number. they can simply enter the refer number into the swipe machine and print a duplicate copy...

and it is also used for voiding the transaction... e.g. cashier swiped and enter wrong figures... e.g. under/over charge...

and when the monthly bill comes... call up ur credit card hotline and question the transaction bill... they will fax the company to verify the transaction by providing the signature copy within 1 month of the bank fax, or else the credit card company will void and refund u the money.... that's y the company must keep the receipts for 5 years for audit, according to the law.

english-chinese dictionary reference

on seeing how the responses, and how the way the govt of China and myanmar junta works with the relief efforts.....

if u have the chance, which country would u help?

info from shin min daily dated 15 May 2008:

Besides the SCDF DART team and their relief supplies of medical, clothes, blankets..., govt monetary donation = US$200K...

even private organisations donate more than that like some land developer organisation.

where is Temasek n GIC (assets: $billions)? when it comes to investment, invest here n there. SG sign FTAs, calls for foreign investment in SG, yet then they r appealing for assist help, most of the time i read newspaper, SG govt somehow cap the maximum donation to US$200 000...

The MO can recommend re-vocation on medical grounds but in this case he already has such a recommendation that would have been endorsed by the MO. There is no role for medical board now...it's up to the unit.

then the question here is... y is he posted to a vocation where he is already proven medically unfit for due to his condition in the Vocational Advisory? isnt it obvious that his current health deteriorate due to his job scope?

next time go see MO, also bring all the creams and medicines u taking in the past and present. show evidence that ur medications' strength is upgraded.

if ur camp MO is still bo chup, then ask him politely as u dont want to challenge his medical authority, "Sir, do u think my medical condition warrants a medical review by the medical board?"

hmm.... a fresh medical grad doc tryin to act pro...

if ur PC said this way, he is challenging u to see if u dare to go to his superior. if genuine case, then y not GO for it! my advise is to type a formal letter... no use talking wan... and go c a specialist for ur respiratory problem... consult e specialist for some test and diagnosis... NSC is skin only... combine these two hospital specialist letters from two diff medical departments is the best.

one thing as others advises: be persisent... if u stop, they think u trying to keng but unsuccessful then stop. dont be afraid of these cb pple. when ur case is genuine, u hv the right to fight for it and press on. this is a very basic soldier right they cant take away.

Went to the MO today again. Unluckily he was just a replacement for our camp's MO for today. He told me even with my 2 specialist letter from NSC, both coming from profs, 1 from england the other local. He said if he was my camp MO he wouldn't even excuse me uniform at all.

Got back to normal duties today, made to do extra sai kang cause superiors believed my A&E case wasn't serious even thou i was coughing badly. =( I'm seriously at a blur. Chief clerk told me the medical dockets would be coming in by wednesday and my CSM is out on standby for a week. Standing in his place is a MSG who's rather nice but still told me he can't do anything abt my case. My PC hinted that i could go ahead and see the OC and CO on this matter but it won't help at all so i seriously am wondering what is going on.

My enzema seriousness is up to the point whereby when there's sweat/sand/oil or any other foreign stuff that comes into contact with the affected area it will just exaggerbate and start bleeding and stuff till the point whereby my steriod cream don't help. My cream has just been upgraded from 1% to a 3% content rating of steriod strength and i don't like it. Will calling the SAF hotline help? I'm still asking around for help but already 1 week into this unit and many of the staffs, masters and WOs think i'm keng-ing already.

Bah.. I'm trying to make the best outta army and all it seems is trying to bring me down. ~_~

the reason is simply… communal living. the coughs are the same also for camps in singapore for recruits (). not used to environment.

no. its ur heng suay luck. each company is just like rojak , all dependable on intake batch. e.g. PTP-Leadership, Direct Leadership, Obese....etc.

heck, if you ask me, I think the clerks are too lazy to read the VA la.

and I agree with you, for all the money that they are spending on new weaponry, they should get their posting system in shape first..

ditto that.

and for that poor chap, u think the SAF Safety Hotline helps? safety concern leh... the recent cdo LTA death is due to training, if #touch wood#, this guy tio serious perm damage to his health, the effect is frankly laughable... reason: due to vocation posting and unconcerned superiors, then publicise and SAF suffers a shock to its reputation again...

the advisory is hidden in the intranet, unless someone even bother to search for it. y cant MINDEF invest in a good and reliable posting system? with modules that intelligently omit vocations that personnel cant be posted to due to his PES and additional medical conditions?

get a hospital specialist (best if it is a senior consultant) to verify that the recent respiratory infection is linked to your vocation, and ur worsening skin condition. get that memo and show it to the MO to endorse, (if he gives u that docket reason, ask isn't it computerised with PACES?). next photocopy it and then type a formal letter address it to ur PC, and CC it to OC and S1. if he still continue to ignore u, go to the next level... his immediate superior.

a lot of the vocation postings are screwed up. although CPC is the central personnel posting centre, some posting orders after u attended the various vocational courses are actually done by some admin lcp or cpl clerks...
