Yes, Nike.
I was called for an interview atNike for part time job in Germany. Interview went great.
They told me that on joining Iwould get Nike sportswear set and shoes. I will also get flat 30% discount instore and 45% online.
Of course, I was super excited!!
They asked me to come for a trialday on Saturday, the most busy day at the store as everything is closed onSunday in Germany.
I did not mind. They obviouslyneed extra hands on busy day.
So, I did 8 hours shift on thebusiest day from 10 am to 6 pm with only 15 minutes break. Hiring manager cameto me 3–4 times to make sure everything is fine.
In the middle of the day, hetells me that everything is going great and he thinks I am doing a great job.So they had absolutely no complaints about me.
After to 4–5 hours, I am dyingfor this day to end but I keep on working with utmost energy.
It 6 pm in the clock. Storemanager thanks me and tells me that he will get back to me on Monday.
As it was a rush hour I did notask anything further. And he suddenly tells me that they don’t pay for trialday.
Dude, are you f*****g kidding me?
In Germany, you are supposed toget paid even for trial day. Especially when it is as long as 8 hours.
Still I somehow keep my calm andconsole myself thinking they are going to give me sportswear set and shoes onjoining, that’s definitely worth 100 euros!!
I come home and keep my calm for7 days.
Nobody calls me back.
After two weeks I write an Emailto the hiring manager asking their feedback and if they have any news for me.
Nobody cared to reply.
They never replied.
………
I would never buyanything from the brand which lacks courtesy to inform their decision
and
is cheap enoughto get their work done for free from students who are trying to make theirliving.

是的,耐克。
之前，我被叫去耐克公司面试在德国的兼职工作。面试棒极了。
他们告诉我，我一加入就会得到耐克运动服套装和鞋子。我还可以在商店买东西打三折，在网上买打四折。
当然，我非常兴奋!他们让我周六来进入试用期，这是店里最忙的一天，因为德国周日都不营业。我不介意。他们显然在忙碌的日子里需要额外的人手。
所以，我在最忙的一天从上午10点到下午6点上了8个小时的班，只有15分钟的休息时间。招聘经理来找我3-4次，确保一切正常。

There is a pizza chain here in Canada who became famous fortheir “30 minutes” or its free: Pizza Pizza.
Let’s be clear - their pizza,on a good day, is mediocre at best; but every once and awhile - very rarely -they come out with an exotic pizza topping combination that just works. So onenight, about 15 years ago, I figured I’d order pizza from them.
They gave me the usual timeguarantee - told me when to expect my pizza, and if not there by then, it wouldbe free.
30 minutes pass - no pizza.
Now, I’m not a petty man andI’m not looking to score a free pizza - so I give the driver another 5 minutes.
Nothing.
I call Pizza Pizza again andinquire about the status of delivery and inform them that the pizza has not yetarrived. They said that the driver was outside my house trying to get a hold ofme.
I walk outside - no one isthere. I’m angry now that they are lying to me, and I told them I’m not payingfor the pizza.
As soon as I complete thatstatement, the driver speeds around the corner and delivers the pizza - itlooks like this:
I didnt pay for it. And I have not bought a single thing fromthat chain in 15 years.
Edit: I did,initially, accept the pizza and when I got inside - that’s what it looked like.Pizza pizza told me I had to pay for it, and that they are sending the driverback.
We didn’t eat it. I shouldhave been more clear. Driver had to absorb the cost of the pizza - normally, Iwouldn’t let that happen, but he lied.
I did keep the garlic breadand soft drinks though :)

加拿大有一家披萨连锁店，因其“30分钟”或免费服务而出名。
让我们明确一点——他们的披萨，大多数时候，也就一般。但偶尔他们也会推出一种异国风味的披萨配料组合，味道还不错，这种情况很少见。
大约15年前的一个晚上，我想向他们点披萨。
他们给了我时间保证——告诉我什么时候能吃到我的披萨，如果到时还没到，那就是免费的。30分钟过去了——没有披萨。我不是一个小气的人，我也不想得到一个免费的披萨，所以我再给司机5分钟。

还是没到。
我再次致电Pizza Pizza询问送货情况，告知他们披萨还没有到。他们说那个司机在我的房子外面试图联系我。
我走到外面——没有人。我很生气，因为他们在骗我，我告诉他们我不付披萨的钱。
我刚说完这句话，司机就飞快地拐过街角，把披萨送来了——至少我看起来是这样的:



我没有付钱。我已经有15年没从那个连锁店买过一件东西了。
编辑:一开始我接受了披萨，当我进去的时候，披萨看起来就是这个样子。店家告诉我我得付钱，他们要把司机送回去。
我们没有吃。我应该说得更清楚些。司机必须承担披萨的成本——通常情况下，我不会让这种情况发生，但他撒了谎。
不过我还是保留了大蒜面包和软饮料。

Walgreens ran this customer rewards program in which youaccumulated points and you could, whenever you felt like it, redeem thosepoints for discounts from products.
Many of their promotionsincluded bonus points. “+1000 pts if you buy this 12 pack of Coke!”
It was a basic rewardsprogram. The points translate to dollars. You get it.
So I have one of these storesright by my house. I stop there frequently.
I kept savings these pointsup. I’d saved them up for over 4 years. I had close to $100 in my account. Tobe used whenever on products at their store.
I stopped in to pick up somedrinks/snacks on the way home.
The lady says, “Would youlike to use any of your balance rewards?”
I say, “How much do I haveright now?” (I always checked. I was enjoying stacking them up.)
She says, “You have $21.”
Record stop.
“Hold up, I had a lot morethan that in there. I’ve been saving for years?”
She says, “Yes they recentlychanged the policy. Only your most recent 12 months can count towards thepurchase.”
I’m pissed off.
I say, “Well - let’s put the$21 towards this purchase.”
She says, “You can only use$5 for each purchase.”

I put the $5 towards thepurchase.
I haven’t fully cut Walgreensoff but I am in the process of cutting them off. I spend about 80% less therenow.
Just as a matter of principle— I’ll make sure their competitor across the street gets multiples of the $79that they took with the cheap policy change.
I hate shady businesstactics.
Lesson: Any time you getpoints with a store — use them quickly.

Yes - Air Asia!
This was my most awaited trip to India from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. While Iwouldve loved to fly a Malaysia Airlines anytime,i chose Air Asia because ofits availability.
I was at the airport at 5ampost the security. I've woken up by 1am and was at the airport by 3am. Its a2.30 hrs flight back home to Chennai, India hence i was holding my sleep forthe flight.
Then came the announcement byAirAsia crew that there was a delay stating there was bad weather conditions inChennai, India. The crew was convincing us there is no way the flight can betaken since weather conditions are severe depression and thunderstorms in thedestination.
So we waited : For an hour..Two.. Three.. Four..! At this point many passengers lost their cool and againchecked the status - same reason on bad weather conditions given by the crew.By now it was morning in India and I called home only to know its bright andshiny in my city :) We checked in all weather forecast channels from BBC tolocal channels, it confirmed there was no concern on weather.
It was past 12pm now -remember I reached airport by 3am! We were not allowed to go beyond a point inKLIA airport, hence no access to decent food. What looked like a perfectboarding place few hours ago started looking like a flood rescue camp -Children were crying and wailing.. Elderly people were sleeping on the chairsand floor. Inspite of this the crew maintained they couldn't take the flightbecause of bad weather until people started shouting back at them saying we arelocalities of Chennai and we know the sun is up and shining.
Finally, the boarding startedaround 4pm or so. Everyone were tired, hungry, sleepy.. The passengers lookeddesperate to reach home and pushing people to get in the line. All the whileAir Asia dint move its arse to support its passenger's by arranging some basicslike food or water. Forget the adults.. heck nothing was given even tochildren.


最后，大约在下午4点开始登机。每个人都累了，饿了，困了。乘客们看起来绝望地想回家，并推挤着排队。在整个过程中，亚洲航空公司一直都没有在通过提供一些基本的食物或饮用水来安抚乘客。别说成人了，该死的，甚至连孩子们也没有得到任何东西。
他们隐瞒了那天人手不足的事实——事实上是航班不足，编了一个关于恶劣天气的荒谬故事，这让我忍无可忍。
登机时，我记得曾在空姐身旁停了下来，看着她的眼睛说:“谢谢你在过去11个小时里跟我们开的玩笑。”这是我最后一次乘坐这该死的航空公司!”
这是2011年——8年过去了，我正在履行对自己的承诺!
