[QUOTE=Cunning Stunt; 1385890]I was in a branch of Jollibees yesterday morning. Sad, I know, but their egg & sausage pandesal rolls are to die for and much superior to those crap McMuffin efforts which always seem to give me indigestion.
Has anyone else noticed how those glorified doormen and table clearers, otherwise known as Filipino security guards are armed but pitifully short on ammo. I always check their otherwise overloaded belts for rounds. Quite often they have no spare bullets at all, but mostly they have one round as this guy did. Once I saw one mad, bad, brave dude guarding the cream cakes at Goldilocks who had two spare bullets on his belt. He sure looked a mean muvver, too. Wouldn't try and run off with a cream bun with him around!
I know that the reason for this is apparently because they have to buy their own ammo themselves out of their pitifully meager wages. I assume that their weapons are loaded (but maybe not) and probably with a single round. So if the outlet was attacked by 3 desperate masked men intent on stealing all the Jolliburgers, our poor guard would be able only to shoot the first one and then would have to invite the other two to play a round of Russian roulette![/QUOTE]Funny one CS.
Good pic too.
I thought you had deduced by now that the security guards in most places are employed to stop the staff from stealing stuff. I guess they also double up and try to intercept any big spenders from stealing the plastic fork and spoon as well.
Watch how they frisk any staff member leaving the premises (particularly at SM). The gay employees especially enjoy it. I was told that staff in most places steal far more than the masa who stumble into the air-conditioned malls for some blessed relief from the noon-day sun. Ever wonder why a fabric store needs a fully-uniformed guard standing alert at the door? My son asked a perceptive question when he visited last year and murmured out loud "WTF do security guards think about all day?"
His rhetorical question went unanswered but got me thinking.
At least CS' "glorified doormen and table clearers" must feel they are doing something useful.
