The Children's Life of Christ- The Boy With The Loaves and The Little Fishes/ Good Business Ethics

Mamarazzi went to Pasar Malam at Chow Yang, SS2 on Thursday. 

Saw a fruit seller selling these "Sugar Apricots". Others stalls were selling RM10 to RM12 per box while this man was selling it for RM8 per box.

At first, Mamarazzi was doubtful whether the fruits are good ones or not as it's cheap when compared to others. 

Glad to report the fruits were great. Delicious and juicy. Thank you, Mr Honest Fruit Seller.

I bet even Jesus will love it.

In Enid Blyton's book on The Children Life of Christ there was a story about a little boy who generously share his lunch of 5 loaves of bread and 2 small fishes with Jesus. Jesus made a miracle happen. The 5 loaves of bread and 2 small fishes were enough to feed 5 thousand people.

Well, that's the way the world should be. The boy was honest and generous in sharing his food. If only more people are like that.

Sad to say, it's not so. 

Mamarazzi's friend purchase a service online 2 months ago. They have been trying to redeem the service several times. Unfortunately, they were told that the dates they wanted the service to be perform were not available each time they called. This happen at least 3-4times. 

Yippee! They finally got an appointment for the service some time last week. 

As they were on the way to the business place, someone called up said they have to cancelled the appointment for the whole day. Said some thing happen at the shop. That they tried to resolved the problem the day before but unable to. 

This called received 30minutes before the appointment time. Mamarazzi and her friend were already on their way to the shop.

Mamarazzi's friend after a discussion with Mamarazzi tried calling the shop up to reschedule to another time. However, each of her calls rang one time and got disconnected. Suspicious. 

Mamarazzi tried calling using her number and the call was connected. Mamarazzi pretended to be a new customer and asked the shop whether they have appointment time for their service that day and was told they have time available for that day.

Another friend also helped out. That friend called and the line was connected immediately. The friend was also told their service are available for that day.

This got Mamarazzi and her friend very angry. They went straight to the shop to confront them. Then another story emerged. 

Mamarazzi really want to believe that the shop have a lot of business hence the difficulties in getting an appointment with them.

She really wanted to believe that the sudden cancellation of the appointment is really due to something happen at the shop.

She really wanted to believe that the conflicting excuses given when they arrived at the shop is just a miscommunication. 

And that all this have nothing to do with the near expiry date for redemption of the service. The reasons given are valid and not just excuses. 

Maybe, that is the truth. It's just a big misunderstanding. There is no scam. Just an over suspicious mind?

 

Meantime, I should try to be more honest and generous. Wanna share my Kacang? Like Jesus said, if people slap me on the right cheek, I should turn and let them slap the left cheek too.
