Chinese service and etiquette


You can really go nuts if you take it too seriously. Service is still appalling as ever. I was shocked that the attendant at Casa Lakeville (a place selling for 100,000 per sqm) yelled at us when she's on top of her job to control the elevator. She's really reluctant to even show us the flat that cost RMB 26 million - honestly...only if Mr Law knows...he will flip.

Same with law officiers. A disaster at Dalian. Very rude. Dont want to give any direction. Before I got my pass - and of course I have to go inside the conference area to get my pass - he just keep yelling "go to the office that extend your invitation, you cant get in here". But there's no instruction on where to go, who, etc. A complete nightmare.
Hotel staff seems to be the only ones who picked up some reasonable service attitude. Not even restaurant waitresses. Certainly not airport shop owners. Well maybe airline flight attendants a bit. If you allow yourself to be pissed off, that takes away several years of your life expectancy at least....in addition to the chocking pollution. This is the love/hate relationship that most people have with China...
