Do not Blame People Who Go Carrefour



Since Nicolas Sarkozy French president officially announced he would meet Dalai Lama soon, China denounced and then French government began increasing Chinese trade barriers, which, therefor, made Carrefour, as a French strong brand, a sit duck to critic in China. Chinese folks start to boycott Carrefour involuntarily at least in heart. People scorn those who are still shopping in Carefour mall, especially in the university campus. Once known as a Carrefour customer, you may well be given names as traitor, soft-bone or running dog.

However, does Carrefour deserve this?

I would post a opposite view. Carrefour do not join this increasing trade barrier act, on the contrary, the company offers huge job opportunities in China. When Chinese Carrefour has to face to bankrupt, who will be the laugher. We, Chinese? Of course not. The consequence is loud and clear.

So, if you see folks shopping in mall in the nearly Christmas, do not blame anyone. Everyone has the power to chose what is right to him/her.

Played by a Smart Gril

Admittedly, recent days my hormone was overproduced, which results in yesterday night weird. In the knowledge of the lady belonged to other, I asked her out to share time to study. First she messaged me whether I had a former test paper. As mentioned above, I overproduced the hormone. Thus, without a second thought, I messaged back, answered yes, and invited her to go self-study together.

For this moment, I had my hair cut. When I arrived at the common room we appointed, I began to repent. I saw she shared a desk with a man, and her friends took the around seat.

In my plan, this should be a very chance for her and me stay alone. However now it turned out to another situation in which I, as a upper grade guy, answered their question to help them pass the DSP examination (be aware of the word I used them, their instead of her, it's pathetic enough, isn't it (:-……), no mention about her boyfriend sat beside, like a watchdog (in DSP). The night was totally ruined, I put myself in a dilemma and had to try my best to pretend that I just simply did my self-study without any other purpose on the woman.

They left one hour later, for me it was several hours’ torture. I was deceived by the smart girl undoubtedly. In my ideologies, the sophisticate lady took an advantage of that I wanted to pursue her, and fooled me like an idiot while did not hurt her boyfriend. Shit! If she dared to ask me again, I would propose my requirement first, you came alone.

2004.6


Dear Editor,

First of all, I appreciate you spare precious time to read this letter.

I'm a college student. About three days ago, I bought an English dictionary in Jiutian Bookstore. After I paid the money and examined (check through) the dictionary carefully, I found some pages were missing.

At the first time, I found a staff in the bookstore, who, out of my expectation, said to me that it was fully my responsibility for I did not inspect the good before I paid the money, which meant once they sold their goods, they had nothing to do with these stuffs. Obviously I could not be satisfied with this statement, I asked the manager to give me a reasonable explication. Unfortunately, this man was absolute rudeness, who yelled at me in some aggressive words. What's more, he even violently drove me out of there.

It goes without saying that current economy environment requests service industry a much higher service level and quality. Nevertheless many individuals as well as the bookstore I've mentioned before, do not follow the market rules, and fail to attach the standard. The consequence is not just disappointing our customers, what's worse, it might hamper our economic progress. I believe this sort of madness behaviors should be denounced in publish. I heartily expect your paper could appeal the service industry to improve their service quality.

Sincerely!

George Will
