Re: Name and Shame: IBC on MTT Bvd
Expecting 1st world service from staff earning about $80/month? I agree they are pretty crap, but I doubt they were insulting you in Khmer openly. If they were, tell us what they said please!

Maybe he is paranoid or maybe he doesn't hear Khmer as well as he thinks. He says he just walked in both times, did nothing unusual, then 3 different Khmers staff members independently insulted him in Khmer, and also insulted his Khmer business manager, thinking neither one could understand Khmer? That is hard to believe.
Yes, if he tells us what they said we can decide for ourselves whether it was really an insult or whether he might have misheard the words.

I would agree in my experience that the staff in the MTT branch are useless compared to the ones on Sihanouk.

Useless, sure. But downright insulting to OP, his wife, and Khmer boss? Me thinks a little artistic license has been used to aid the telling of an everyday tale of customer service in the kingdom. Stroppy?

I'm amazed that our 'missionary'man has learned the ins and outs of the Khmer language in the 5 minutes he's been here. But, if his post count on here is anything to go by, well done sir!

From this 4 months ago https://cambodiaexpatsonline.com/khmer-l ... -t979.html to being able to speak and understand Khmer, especially no doubt colloquial Khmer - must be a linguistic genius!

It didn't escalate Stroppy.....don't think so. But you got to tell the audience what words they have called you.....then we have something to discuss, you know.StroppyChops wrote:

Wow good point. Fours months ago he didn't know the difference between "thanks" and "one more."
Maybe the reason why the girl didn't respond when he said hello is that he actually greeted her by saying "Cucumber fried rice!"StroppyChops wrote: Yep, they're certainly forgiving! This week we've found ourselves asking for one more instead of saying thanks, and greeting someone formally instead of asking for one more.
