You can not save the world, but you can at least try and make a difference, and this is now my mission! After almost 3 years in Panama City, Panama, i feel like sharing all the amazing and funny experiences that i have on weekly basis... sometimes they frustrate you, sometimes you laugh, sometimes someone receives a verbal beating, and you think....was that me, was that little me talking so bad to another person???
I love this country, the people, my Panamanian family, the food, coffee... Panama is a great place... My mission now, is to improve the service level in the city (not country side) THE CITY! It feels like that nobody cares anymore, and the local Panamanian city people have become used to the horrible service in the city... Companies and monopolies only care about profit profit profit... leaving their employess in a position where they, i think, can do nothing more than do what they have been told, no room for flexibility, and no room to go the extra mile for the customer....So here are the stories, that made me go on my mission... all happened within a week...
Monday: My wife delivers car to Honda dealer for service, incl new wiperblades... Tuesday pick up, pay bill, drive off.... Tuesday afternoon rain starts... My wife with two small kids in the car puts on wipers...!!!! Wipers not changed, actually partly removed....How do you drive in Panama rain without wipers.... Back to Honda, yell and scream...
Tuesday: Shopping in El Rey Albrook.... They are out of bags!!! Where do we put our groceries...
Friday: See 100usd Panama hat in Sanbornes (Multiplaza)... is that exploitation of tourists? They go for 25 usd in 5 Mayo..
Sunday: Riba Smith is full ... behind a lazy housewife, with her Blackberry at the check out.... She pays and, waits for the packing boy to pack....she has groceries for 4 weeks, and the packer is buuusy, she is busy on her blackberry! I take two bags and i start packing my stuff as its being bipped... somehow things get mixed... i only find out when i come home..... she got 2 of my things incl tupperware...
Monday: My wifes birthday....wonderful day, no incidents! Pass by Oishi Sushi in Albrook on the way back from Clayton park.... Order Sushi with NO creamcheese.... come home, ready to eat.. guess what! Cremecheese in all of it.....Call Oishi, yell and scream....get credit.. great, and stuck with birthday sushi with cream cheese....My 2 year old son loved it...ummm Quesooo!.... that reminds me off when Sake delivered sushi without wasabi, but thats 2 years ago now...
.... thats it, im on a mission!
