I absolutely agree that there are always 2 sides to a coin.
Agree that big portion of the WGs in HK are from mainland. But the difference is these girls knows the difference in terms of the clientele. It's a funny human nature, it's like the "when in Rome, do like the Romans do" syndrome. As experienced in Singapore and Malaysia, I noticed Singaporean drivers tend to abide to the traffic rules to the "t" when they are in Singapore, but when some of them get into Malaysia (and as the traffic controls in Malaysia is not as strict as in Singapore), they will have the devil-may-care attitude and drives in a completely different attitude. But I also understand, some of these drivers were originally from Malaysia. So probably due to the fact that the clientele requirements and competition may differ in HK to mainland, the service level has been adapted to suit the market?
And it's absolutely right that in some of the western countries, people take pride in their job and will try to make sure the job are done well. I guess it has to do with competition as well as reputation. A waiter in the States takes pride because if they do their job well, they know the will be rewarded. Can't deny it's also a fact that most of the waiter in Hong Kong tends to think the job as a stepping stone...but still, comparing to the service you get in China, IMHO it's still good. | |
