A fellow stomper witnessed an encounter while passing by one of the popular nightclub in his course of work as an electrician. During one night, as he walked pass one of the KTV room, there was a commotion that caught the electrician’s attention. Out of curiosity, he head towards the source of the commotion and to his horror, there was a tall, skinny and bespectacled Singaporean customer in his early thirties quarreling with a lady furiously while puffing his Marlboro light cigarette away with a conceited look on his face. Perhaps, he was hoping to use some level of smoke screen to get away from the situation.
Throughout the commotion, there was a constant physical tussle between both parties and upon interviewing his friends (introduced to the electrician as R.Martin and J.Bond); the quarrel was sparked off due to a discrepancy with the amount of tips reimburse to the lady for her "companionship". What surprises the electrician was the indifferent attitude (Mr. R busy digging his nose away while shorty Mr.J singing his favourite Mayday song) exhibit by his friends throughout the commotion that lead him to the conclusion that it’s not the first time such discrepancy surfaced.
With further probing, it was realized that the customer offered only $10 due to high level of dis-satisfaction suffered by him. Based on an unnamed source, the minimum market rate ranges between $20 to $30 for a session of companionship involving “non-special” activities. Some of the dissatisfaction cited includes lack of affection, poor attitude, subpar stimulation, foul breath and constant butterfly. It appears that the Singaporean was a usual victim of “Robert” by PRC that accusation and stereotyping wasn’t spared from the heated argument.
Immediately, the lady recognized the denial behaviour exhibited by her customer and retaliated with verbal abuse claiming her “exposure” has seen bigger money than a mere additional $10 note tightly withheld by her cheapo customer. Besides, she stood firmly to her working ethics and would not allow such obnoxious customer getting scot-free without reimbursing the fair amount for her companionship services.
Sensing her fear, desperateness and demonstration of lower values, the customer decided to leapfrog his advantage by summoning the manager to the room to resolve the issue. By spending a considerable amount of time arguing over that $10, she has overlooked the fact that she could have earned more than $10 with the same amount of time with other customers.
Finally, that customer has satisfied his ego and share of fun, he handed that additional $10 note to the lady that brought a grin on her face and she left the room gingerly filled with satisfaction. To add further pain to her ordeal, she accidentally left behind her Esprit t-shirt that easily cost $30 and above.
To the horror & disgust of the electrician, those 3 guys started to think of unimaginable act by peeing on the t-shirt inside the KTV room !!! Gosh ! That would easily warrant a few violation of civil law (e.g. vandalism of property & indecent exposure).
Looks like a pretty bad night for her, besides losing her t-shirt worth $30 stained with pee, she has to work real hard in gaining that additional $10 by losing another $20-$40 of opportunity cost.
