I AM MAD! No, I am EXTREMELY MAD!
People either see
me serious/flat or joyous/loud, but rarely will they encounter me in this
state...furious.
Something rough
happened yesterday. Around 5:00 PM, we had a fuel delivery from the bulk depot.
We did the usual routine of unloading, and few hours after new products were
loaded in our tank, a flock of motorists went back enraged.
A few minutes more and the flock became
even massive. My first reaction was that of fear. I locked up at the office,
gathered my thoughts… I decided to call my father for a rescue, but opted to
solve the “unknown issue” my own.
I managed to snap a not so decent shot of last night's scene from the CCTV monitor. (Refer to the photo above.) The crowd was not so overwhelming at this stage but it went triple or even quadruple in size. It was really scary that it made me an instant agoraphobic.
However, I realized that I am the IN-CHARGE. I need to
muster my strength and just play my position. I can’t just hide and pretend
that I know nothing. I have no choice... I have to be brave and so I went out
to confront the overpowering mob. All of
them are infuriated, some worried. They claimed that the premium fuel that we
gave them ruined their vehicles. My initial reaction was full of defiance. This
can’t be happening of course, we are selling legit product here and I am
running a legit business for Christ’s sake! But, at the back of my mind, a part
of me was agreeing with the majority.
Okay, so to stop the hearsays, we dispensed a sample fuel
directly from the machine… Lo and behold, we are indeed selling a crappy piece
of shit! Then and there, I felt so chicken little.
There could be no other explanation for this. Either the
hauler fooled us or the mother company is one big scumbag. I don’t know which
is which, but this is for sure: SOMEONE IS SO FREAKING GREEDY.
To whomever greedy enough to risk the livelihood of others
just to earn an extra piece: I just wish you a fair life and I hope you are here to see
me battle the mocking eyes of others. Do know that you ruined 27 motorcycles
last night and that you've caused a certain manic being a good amount of money just to make sure that everybody can move on reasonably.
I may have to cut short my ranting (I am actually sorta in a rush) but I will get
back to you soon enough.
WARNING: I have a very particular set of skills;
skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare
for people like you. I will look
for you, I will find you, and I will let you drink this piece of shit that you
gave us. YOU FEEL ME?
PS: Business as usual. Products are now engine-friendly... tried it myself. Never had diarrhea thus far.
