Visit from English-speaking McDo Delivery Guy


Never fails.

I always get those impressions that I'm not a filipino-speaker. There was this time that I went out, wearing really old clothes with holes on it and ordered at Jollibee (delivery was not yet available in our area) the cashier went speaking in English, even I was wearing basahan clothes, she still have me mistaken for a foreigner, and so I played along. Lol.

Then there was this time that I paid the collector for the jeepney, and he then told me, 'Hold on, wait' (he has no change for the money I gave him, so he went to find change, then he gave me my change, and said 'Thanks'.

And there are many times these already happened to me.

This time a McDo delivery guy tried his best to accomodate, the foreign-looking me to understand what he was talking about.

Mcdo DG: Let's go there, sir. (pointing to our garage, it was raining)
Okay, no more drinks, sir. (gesturing with his hands 'no more' sign) Then gave me a a thumbs up.

This incidents proves that Filipinos, especially those on service oriented jobs are really serious about being hospitable and to always keep their customers feeling special and comfortble. I commend the McDonald's and Jollibee crew for being so accomodating to foreigners, and foreign looking people, lol, like me.
