Ugly Malaysians

Ok Ive just got back from the post office after a good while. Lemme give you the senario.
Its crowded, people take numbers to get in line. Mostly are there to pay their bills.
There are three counters here at Tesco. Since there were alot of people they decided to open counter one and two just to pay bills.

Fair enough. It keeps the traffic moving smoothly.
Counter 3 still requires to follow the number called out. But since many people were there to pay their bills, their numbers were not counted.

So there was I, waiting near counter 3. The lady will punch in the next number wait a couple seconds then call out the next number. My number was 1054. A elderly malay couple with number 1056 decided "hey why not jump in and cut queue?" while the counter lady was still at number 1051. Ok to be fair I gave them the benefit of doubt. Maybe they really did thought that the numbers 1052- 1055 were already gone.

After going to the counter your suppose to put in your piece of paper with your number on into a little basket. To my absolute disbelief, these two old people turn around and happyily joked and laughed and gave their number to another young malay lady! Asking her to go to the counter to get attended immdiately! ABOSULETY INCREDIBLE!

First you cut queue. Then gave your number which has not even been called to another customer and askin her to get attended to immdiately? WOW!

Anyway by that time counters 1 and 2 were done with all the bill paying customers and I was called to counter 2... to get registered as a voter as persisted by dad. I fail to see the point of voting.
