OK.. can't think of a title!!!

Ok.. so I went grocery shopping the other day at lulu hypermarket.. in the evening,, big mistake.. it was soo crowded you had to push people to get to the vegetables.. its just getting worse at that supermarket.. and moreover.. I think they raised their prices !! I am seriously thinking of shopping at Sultan Center from now on.
Anyway what I actually wanted to say but got sidetracked is, I was at the counter paying for my stuff when the Omani girl at the check out calls to her supervisor and says: ‘so when can we leave?’ apparently she and two of the other girls at the check out has asked earlier in the day if they can leave early.. so her supervisor says ‘you can see its too crowded,, and there is a lot of work so no leaving early today’ and the girl is like but you said we can leave etc etc.. and her supervisor explains to her that she said they might be able to leave if there isn’t much work and ended with ‘11 girls are absent today as it is!’ and that’s when I open my eyes in shock.. and think to myself what the hell.. 11 girls absent in one day !! But did that stop the girl? Nope she kept on saying with a sad face.. “But you said we can leave early today”
And people wonder why they won’t hire Omani’s.. I bet you if they changed the system to hourly wages then everyone will finish their shift in full.
**** Oh and something totally not related. I just offered my colleague at work a small orange and he was like no thanks.. and I was trying to persuade him.. as this guy never eats anything all day ! and he was like “I am not really into this whole fruit thing.. I mean I buy the fruit and if I don’t eat it ,, it rots in my fridge.. so If I do buy it and I am not in the mood to eat then I feel like I am under some kind of deadline to eat it ,, its too much pressure” LOL now that cracked me up..hehehe

Mys, I think Sultan Center's prices are actually higher than Lulus.. I'll ask mom to make sure.
