Why now only wanna 'Suck Up'??...Assholes!

When I was doing the planning and running around getting the stuff ready for the coffeeshop, I was making enquiries with the beer boys on who would help me with the frontal signage and fridges and etc... So naturally, I called Carlsberg...and you know what they told me??.. The conversation started as below:-

Coffeeboy: Hello, are you the area representative for Carlsberg in Aman Suria??

Carlsberg: Yes?..Hold on ah...
(then he started to talk to his gf on the another phone in Cantonese...while i waited about 2 mins) Yeah...Who this?

Coffeeboy: I'm starting a coffeeshop and want to ask if Carlsberg is interested sponsoring a fridge and the shop signage. I'm prepared to only sell Carlsberg beers and its other brands.. What do I need to do to get these things sorted?

Carlsberg: Oh...where ah?..Aman Suria ah?.. Here already got alot of coffeeshops oh...We all ah...Carlsberg ah...got so many with us already.. I tell you.. This area ah...cannot sell alot beer wan... I don't think you can meet our minimum requirement for us to sponsor your shop la.. 60-80 crates you know...I don't think your business can handle that la... Summore new, how can we at Carlsberg invest so much into something that we cannot confirm profit?

Coffeeboy: Why don't you come meet me first then I can tell you my plans on what I intend to do? Maybe we can make an arrangement la.. You never know right?

Carlsberg: Meet ah?...I'm very busy wan you know.. How can I never know?... I know wan.. This area ah...business is around 30 crates you very good edi lor.. If you don't reach the target ah...then got penalty la...this la..that la...Susah for me.

Coffeeboy: So means that you are not interested to discuss also la.. Really cannot help? I think can sell 50-70 crates la.. No problem..

Carlsberg: Whoa!!!... Can or not your business... Let me advise you la... You take the beer from us first...then we see how la. No one call and ask straight for sponsorship wan. I don't think you can reach so high also your sales...

(...at this point I was getting quite insulted already...)

Coffeeboy: So how?.. You don't want to meet to hear my suggestion also?. So Carlsberg not interested to work with me to start this business la?...

Carlsberg: Meet cannot la. Talk on the phone can la. Nevermind la... You try to call other people and see...They will also tell you same thing wan.. You start your business then we see how..

Coffeeboy: OK la...nevermind la.. Thank you. Bye.

So long story short.... I called Guiness Anchor and they gladly came to discuss with me on the possibilities... They were upfront about what they could do for me and what they couldn't and even explained why... I really respected that. Even the Area Sales and National Sales Director came to see me to hear about my 'small' venture. They were very helpful... Gave me everything I asked for eventually... and really believed in the business..

So when the shop opened... Booming business (grinning...).
Guess what..... Along came this Carlsberg fella... and asked one of the workers.."Boss where?"
So eventually I found the time to meet this fella... (after about 20 mins of him waiting around).

Here is the conversation (full of sarcasm...muahaha..my forte)

Carlsberg: Boss, hello..remember me?.. You call me last time ask about Carlsberg wan..

Coffeeboy: You ah?.. I remember. Whoa..you so busy got time to come to my small business meh?.. My business not good enough for you big boys la. What are you doing here? I got beer supplier already.. Cannot see the sign meh?....TIGER!!

Carlsberg: Yeah meh?..( pretentiously look at the signboard )... Oh yeah hor.. But nevermind wan....can still sell Carlsberg mah. Why don't you try taking from me? I give you a good deal..

Coffeeboy: Whoa...Good deal wor... How come last time I ask you to discuss you don't want? Now, you wanna come and discuss ah?.. No point la... I won't sell Carlsberg here. I've already got a deal with Tiger. Save your time for your other Carlsberg outlets la.. My business so small.. Only sell about 80 crates... Carlsberg won't want la...I got small business only la.

Carlsberg: Aiya boss, now business good ma... So I come see you lor.. Maybe can sell mah..

Coffeeboy: Haha... I think you better go la. Don't waste your time. If only you'd been genuine enough when I called you before... Maybe I'd be taking the beer from you. Now... I don't want anything from you. I'm actually very angry with you... Look down on my business...now business good...only come and talk.

Carlsberg: Sorry la boss. I give you 2 crates for free. Being support of new outlet opening. Then maybe we can discuss our offer ma...

Coffeeboy: Whoa....Free wo??... I don't want anything from you all.. Free or not also nevermind. If I wanna sell Carlsberg, I'll buy. Anyway, I'm also very busy now.. I cannot talk to you. My small business must help Tiger sell more beers. You better go. Bye.. Thank you ah..

(in my heart...i really felt like i gave him the middle finger!!.... HAPPY OOOO!!!

But the fella still thick skin ooo.. He came a few times at night and tried to bring the 'Free Crates'... But I always chased him out..Haha..

Kept asking him... "Why?...No Sales this month ah?..Wanna push?.. I thought you busy ma.."

Until I think he 'Terasa' a little la... So he stopped trying to give the crates.

But...WAS I WRONG!... He was thick skinned enough to come when I wasn't around!!

He really gave the 2 free crates.

I'm still pissed at the Carlsberg fella.. Attitude all wrong.

So... I left the two crates in the store.. Haha..

Like this lor...and stacked some bottles on top of them..hahha..

Anyway, things have been good today.. Nothing much to bitch about..

Only the stoopid Carlsberg salesman.. Really pissed me off!..

Oh yeah... Today...Sales didn't tally... From the records, I sold 7 'Tai Pau'....but the computer only said sold 2.... and 25 'Char Siew Pau'....but computer only said 24...

Someone is ripping me off!!!...

Time to look at the CCTV... catch this 'Pau' stealing culprit...

Kick his ass!!
