Don't be so cheap.
A lot of people has forgotten the fact that Air Asia is only a budget-airline, although at the very first glance, their air plane is far newer compared to the fleets of Malaysian Airlines.
You get what you pay for.
You don't go into a brothel, pay RM30, and get this type of pretty chick at your service.
Take this instead.
Nah!!! (If you still think you deserve better, you are cheap).
As the matter of fact, frankly i don't mind Air Asia cramped seats.
I don't mind waiting in a over-crowded boarding room as long as the air conditioner is working all-right.
I don't even care when my online booking of Pak Nasser's Nasi lemak turn out looks like something that is no better compared to a cow's dung. (At least it is delicious).
But for today, i want to kom-plen.
Namewee style.
No i am not comparing the Nasi lemak 2.0 with pak nasser's one.
On a recent working trip to Miri and Brunei, due to timing and logistic issues, we have to settle for Air Asia instead of our company standard airliners which is MAS.
Like usual, airport is overcrowded. Me and my another colleague proceed to the Kiosk for self-check in. Stood beside the kiosk machine (or so we thought) was a Air Asia staff, a girl who was busy with a few passengers. at that time.
During our turn, as a very perfect and polite gentleman, i greeted her.
"Good afternoon. I want to do self check in".
You won't believe what happened next. (So do i).
"THIS IS THE KIOSK FOR IPHONE AND IPAD CHECK IN COUNTER! YOU DUNNO HOW TO READ MER??"
WTF??? Did i just grabbed your boobs while greeting you???
Ok, let's get things straight.
1. For one, did i say i am not checking in using my iphone or just well, you know, only with my itinerary?
2. For two, even if i have gone to the wrong kiosk, just point me to the right direction. If not, there will be no point putting you beside these kiosk, i would rather put a big iphone or ipad signage beside these kiosk.
3. For three, suddenly i felt like i am coming back home to my mum as a 7 yrs old.
"2 x3 is SIX, SIX SIX, not EIGHT!!! Like that also you DUNNO mer??"
Well, anyway. Luckily is my company pay for the trip. If i pay, i think i will just slam-dunked her into the nearest luggage drop in counter.
But f-it. Maybe her boyfriend just slept with a cute Air Asia stewardess last night and caught him red handed.
I almost forgotten about this issue, until the second day, when i am checking in for the late night return flight from Miri.
This one lagi cia-lat.
Same scenario. During check in, but this time is a guy.
"Good evening sir, check in please".
"Have you done the self check in?"
"No, cos i misplaced my itinerary".
I swear to god. His face at that time, is like...
like he is having a broomstrick stucked right through his arse. Without saying a word, he gave me a slip with the booking number, and shoo-ing me away to the kiosk to proceed with the check in.
Suddenly one particular song came right through my head.
"You said it best, when you say noooothing at all~~~" Ronan Keating.
Well, for that particular trip, i am a real angry passenger/client.
Before i end this post, still i want to give thumbs up and credit to the Air Asia staffs who has been (most of the time) brilliant towards their customers.
The one who sang birthday song to my mum on the plane.
The one who helped finding back my friend's missing handphone on the plane.
But there'll always be one or two "creatures" out there who are just, destined to "pollute" the good name and credibility of the Air Asia.
People don't always remember good things about you.
And bad things will remain forever. That's human.
Sack those two staffs.
Or put them into angry bird costume, at least kids love them.
Thank you very much.
