When the cashier summed up everything it was over 600,000. I turned to the man with smile telling him to pay, he asked me if these things are what I initially came to buy at the mall , I said no that I wanted to just buy a tin of milk, a pack of green tea, a pack of sugar and a loaf of bread.
Then he asked me why I changed my plan and added a whole lot of items to my collections, I told him that I expanded my shopping list because I felt he has the capacity to pay since he voluntarily asked me to pick anything.
This was where the drama started. The man now said asking me to pick anything does not me I should pick everything, that he is just a middle class citizen like me that he didn’t expect me to pick so much items worth over 600,000.
He advised me that when next someone offers to pay my bills for any product or service I should learn to stick to my original plan, I should not increase my appetite, taste or shopping list cos doing so would amount to gr33d. Finally he called me a gr33dy lady and h1$$ed. I asked him who will pay for the things I collected, he said “your grand father will pay” and then walked away.
With sh@me I returned all the items to their respective sections and left the mall feeling emb@rr@$$3d. Am just wondering Why the man subjected me to such embarr@ssm3nt when he knew he wasn’t going to pay ? What the man did to me, is it fair ? And I just want to know if truly I was greedy ? He asked me to pick anything, remember?
