I m not very sure about e 9/10 thingy. I do find locals very easily agitated and get aggressive, when they r proven wrong or told that they r wrong. Below is my personal experience (point form) in ION at the Yummy Yogurt store.
- wanted to order and saw I was at e wrong end of e queue (at cashier's side).
- i walked over to other end and queue behind 3 gals making their order.
- they made payment and my turn, I place my order, get my order & made payment.
- while standing there getting a spoon scope.
- e counter lady asked, 'Sir want flavour u want?'
- e guy at e counter replied; "I dont want to order as u didnt serve me 1st but serve others
- he stepped back, next, a lady next to him, commence placing her order.
- e guy stepped toward e counter & asked counter lady to say sorry (was WTF in my mind).
- I intervened & told him, 'u werent in e queue & why r u asking for apology?'
- and wow, he raised his voice & tell me to shutup and mind my own biz.
- I told him, it is my biz as it is indirectly implying i cut queue.
- he start to walk over & ordered me to STFU (said to my face) and mind my own biz
- he went back to scold e lady (she was serving a lady then) & continue to accuse her.
- next, (determined to piss him off) I said 'Sir, pls say sorry to her (pointing at counter lady).
- Counter lady told me, it is okay Sir. I said, nope it is not when e guy is unreasonable.
- wow wow, he again came towards me raising his voice even louder.
- then he walked away while the lady (who just ordered Yogurt) called him 'dear, stop it'.
- I was like 'damn, need to get him to throw a punch'....
- I called out, Sir, u cannot leave till u say sorry to counter lady.
- he came towards me for 3rd time shouting, I said 'if u dare pls hit me but don't regret'.
- his female partner immediately pulled his hand & said 'dear, let's go please'.
- he turned & was leaving with her. I said, Sir, u forgot to say sorry.
- he turned again but his partner pulled him away again.
- I decided, enough of pissing him off said, 'Ms, count your BF lucky'.
- the counter lady, said 'thank you Sir, u don't have to do it'.
- I said it is ok, i am just trying to be a good citizens and hate to see injustice.
Such incidents with locals r not my 1st time, so I m doubtful it is 9 in 10 are not confrontational, or I just manage to meet mostly e 1 in 10.
