Sometimes it seems like buying a baby cot/cage in Jakarta is almost as involved as having the baby.
We got a call from the honourable cot-makers this morning. Due to Lebaran, they were running late and the cot that was due today hadn’t even been started.
That’s right, due today, not started, let’s call the client today.
I was not impressed.
When I called to harangue the guy he was very apologetic and agreed a discount would be payable, but he would need to check with his father. I said ok, that’s fine but that he would need to contact us again to tell us how much the discount would be. He said he’d call me that afternoon and I replied saying it was better that he call my wife as I was way too angry to ever speak to him again. Ok no problem came the reply, I’ll call your wife and I hope she isn’t too angry like you…and thankyou mister!
Thankyou indeed.
