Seriously…. I really think Singaporeans really love to complain….
The other time Shell gave a discount, people complained that the timing was too short, too inconvenient and many other reasons.. Now when Shell extended their fuel offer from 10am to 6pm, people complained AGAIN….
I heard that the average waiting time for getting in line for the fuel was about 30 to 45 minutes, varying from different Shell outlets…. Though I am an avid supporter of Shell, I didn’t think it was worthwhile for poppy and me to spend an hour waiting in line for cost saving of around $15-$20 (as my car was at 1/3 tank) when we both had hell of a lot of work to do….
Back to the topic of the complaining Singaporeans…. People who live near the outlets complained of noise, congestion and how it ruined their weekends…. My answer to that is MOVE OUT…. We have to learn to live with the environment that we are in…. It is not as if it is a daily thing and that it is affecting your whole way of life….
I am sure those drivers who got the savings are not the one who send it the letter to Straits Times Forum…. Apparently the one who sent in the letter have been a supporter of Shell and he was quite disappointed with Shell. We have to live with the fact that something like this will definitely attract a crowd and cause congestion. I must praise Shell for hiring axillary police officers to deal with the congestion and that was perhaps the best Shell could do…. But seriously, it will be quite silly to expect that there will be no congestion or queue…. I am sure the writer was quite pissed that he could not get into the queue for fuel and hate the fact that he has to face the congestion….
This is so similar to the things I had to deal with when I was doing my national service…. During briefings before the patrol team leave for their duties, the team leader will remind the team of “certain notorious residents”. These are the sort of people that will complain at everything that they see…. They will complain about students being noisy when they are in school (which is quite stupid as that is what you get for living next to a school). They would also complain about the mall being too bright, congested and noisy and how it affected his sleep. But seriously, we do get such shit calls and we have no choice but to attend and “appease” them because the calls will just keep on coming….
Seriously, if they really like his peace and quiet, he is living at the wrong place as he should stay near places such as bukit timah or botanic garden, where he can enjoy the peace and quiet (with the occasional monkey screaming). Rather than making grumbles that will help nothing, perhaps it would be better if he put his head to better use on how to earn some dough and move to a quiet location….
Oh well, this is life.. There will be the normal people and there will be also the SHIT people who complain at anything they see….
