A few days ago, I received a phone call from a salesman from Astro. He asked me to take the Chinese package which is on promotion and he went, "Take this Chinese Package, OK?"
And kept pushing the package to me [Take ah! Take ah!] so I said, "Wait a minute, how much is this? The way you are talking, it is as if it's free." So he said, it's RM12 per month. I asked him, what is the current price then? And he said it's RM12.
I asked him in turn, just now you said it's on promotion? I don't see any promotion here when it's RM12 now and you are also selling it to me at RM12. Then he explained that Astro is going to increase the price so if I sign up first, and the price increases, I will be paying the old price. And they called this a promotion ...? I don't see it as a promotion. It's a sales gimmick in anticipation of a price increase.
And the way he pushed the package to me, it is as if I do not have to pay an additional RM12 per month. Eh... I don't even watch Astro and the only person who watches it at home is my father. Even if you give me free Chinese package also I may not take up because I do not have time for TV and besides, I don't know Chinese or Hokkien so it's going to be wasted on me. I turned him down and straight away he cut the line. Whoa... I know that his sole purpose was to sell me the package but still, that's pretty rude of him, me thinks, but then what did I expect?
