The other day , I was in one of the big furniture places , and we decided to buy a certain chair , the girl that was serving us was an Omani girl , very nice manners and good servicegirl, anyway my husband was suffering from a bad back and could not lift the chair to take it to the counter , so the sales girl asked one of her co-workers to help out ( he was a non omani) do you know what he said to her , and infront of us? he said - I DONOT WORK IN THIS SECTION - PICK IT UP YOURSELF , ITS NOT TOO HEAVY. well we were all just shocked by his response and the way he embaressed that poor girl , I know many people feel that omanis are not as good inthier work as non-omanis , but still human respect has no nationality.

ooohhh boyyyy
and thats a realy bad thing to happen to that gal
well..its normal from this non Omani guy to act in such away..cause he knows that his job is in danger
Omani workers...Omani people..dont be disapointed..Go for it..u r the best and u can do anything ..I have that real big respect when i see any Omani works in any field (such as petrol stations)..it makes me proud and have that bravness to say to any foreigner that comes to Visit us..See that is an Omani and am proud to be an Omani
And Still I Rise http://www.omania.net/evip/ubb/smile.gif

Well...ummm...my point of view

I consider this issue is a conflict management...There would be a problem and we need a mediator...
I believe a touch happened between the foreigner and the Omani girl, and it could be possible of different things...

here we are, it was easy to be taken care of. I believe the girl could make a call to ask her boss to find her a quick porter or carrier, cause a girl can not do it by herself since she is only a girl.

Anqaa, why did not you just offer a kindful hand helping the girl lift the chair to the car...cause two girls are equal as one man http://www.omania.net/evip/ubb/biggrin.gif I wish I were there.

hey, first we hear "women are equal to men", "women have the same rights as men" now i hear "2 woman is equal to 1 man" hmmm make up ur mind, or is this only applied when there is something physical to do?


------------------
Take it easy, this is only the internet! feel free, coz life is not!

Ummm... well my opinion about that matter it was very bad of him to reply back to that way to that girl. I am totaly agree about nationality does not got anything to do with the human self respect.

Ohh well .. its something youy really can't change ... but if i was the girl you know what i could have done ??!! I wouldn't relly reply back to him or even argue with him .. try to find other help .. and once my clients are gone i will make sure to inform the manager ... and than they will deal with him .

Why should you waste ur breath on a banch of craps anyway!!! . No one can be good with out practicing .... all i can say is you omani ppl just work hard and prove to them that they are wrong .

Cheers ..

joyful - if i the two of us girls could pick it up , we would have , it was a BIG BIG chair , anyway , its not even her responsibility to pick it up , the non omani was dressed with an overall , which means he was to pick it up. Anyway , i salute the girl , for she kept her cool through the whole thing and didnt make a scene.
