Why Do Filipino's Smile So Much? :-)

[aposhark]

Once we went into Robinson's department store in Cebu City to buy some things.
We selected about 5 items of clothes, shoes, bags etc., but there was only one cashier open.
There were about 15 people queued up (in line) waiting patiently.
There were at least 30 sales staff walking about always trying to get people to buy.
I gave up after waiting 10 minutes and went to ask the people who worked in the shop why we all had to wait for so long.
They all just smiled at me.
I wish they hadn't all smiled, but acted serious and fixed the problem.

===========================================
I find queuing up a big problem in the Philippines.
Nobody seems to mind and everyone can waste hours a day standing up waiting to pay.

I also saw a queue in the supermarket of Robinson's with at least 30 people in line...............

Lol, very true aposhark, this is one major problem in pinas specially in metro malls and supermarkets and unless a customer retaliates, that's where they normally speed up.....
And i'm quite amazed here in uk as everything is fast and quick, saves you a lot of time and practically no queuing up

Quickest place I've been shopping is a chinese supermarket in Croydon called Wing Yip! When you take your shopping to the cashier in there, they have three girls, one does the till, the other two bag up your shopping...I've never seen a que in there...when you pay it takes just 20 seconds and it's all bagged up and your ready to go! They are so quick it's as if they can't wait to kick you out the door! But would I rather wait three hours? Well of course not!
