Rude toll gate employee
Rude toll gate employee
On Sept. 28 at 8:05 a.m. I entered the Kuningan toll gate
en route to Pancoran and Tanjung Priok.
The young lady in the toll booth received my Rp 10,000 bank
note. I forget her name but she was fair-skinned and rather thin
with short hair.
She handed me the receipt in a such forceful manner that I
inadvertently dropped it. She was obviously indignant at my
negligence but I stayed calm since the error was mine.
I was shocked when she virtually hurled my change into my car
a moment later, resulting in some of the money scattering outside
my car.
I got mad and lost my temper and shouted at her to pick up my
money. She responded with a call to a man in the same uniform as
herself and this man ended up quarreling with me.
I knew that I had been negligent when I dropped the receipt
but I did not realize that she would dare fling my change into my
car which I had to pick up myself. I imagine anybody would be
angry when treated in this manner.
I think the lady in question should be reprimanded for her
rude manner.
