at bpi this morning, i asked the cashier what's for the giveaway this year. i was told to approach the branch manager instead if there's anything left.
approaching the manager's desk, i noticed that there's a new face occupying the desk. new manager i thought.
politely i asked her if there's anything to loot for the new year? 'sorry sir,,, there's nothing left, and we do give them for our clients only. do you have any account with us, sir?'
i haven't memorized most of my account numbers so i handed her one of my ATM cards. manager fiddled with her computer and immediately there was a spark in her eyes i saw.
'ooh,,,, we have new exciting products to offer for you sir' (investments and so on,,,). can we sit and have a talk for awhile? then she hurriedly called that lady who handles (philam?)investment products. 'miss XXX, paki up-date nga ang contact information ni sir.'
no thank you, perhaps not this time,,,, and please don't call me, i'll call you, i said to the manager.
i left the manager grinning sheepishly. call me sir ha?
