Letter from a Reader: Lost and Found and Kept

Image courtesy of www.deadline.com

Dear Fashion Pulis,

I am an avid follower of your blog, and I want to share with your readers my mindboggling experience with a shameless fast food crew. 

Last August 18 (Saturday), I did an online reservation at Sureseats.com for three (3) tickets for a movie that me and my two (2) friends C1 and C2, planned to watch the following day, August 19 (Sunday) for a 5:10pm screening time at Greenbelt 3 cinema. As a policy, I had to screenshot the confirmation number to be presented to the ticket station and that the tickets have to be paid 45 minutes before the screening time or it would be automatically cancelled. 

Sunday, around 4pm, C1 and I were already at Greenbelt and bought the 3 movie tickets. I didn’t bring my bag so I asked C1 to keep the tickets since my pocket was already full. Since C2 had not arrived yet, C1 and I decided to have a snack at a popular Fast food Restaurant FR while waiting for her. After eating, we headed back to the cinema to check if C2 was already there, as I asked C1 to bring out the tickets. She was shocked to find out that the tickets were missing! 

After a while, C1 recalled what happened earlier at FR. He said that while we were lining up to order our food, he remembered reaching out for his cellphone inside his pocket, then noticed a male FR Crew FC passed by and picked up something beside him (C1). This C1 just ignored - but which he belatedly realized and was 100% sure that what FC picked up were our missing tickets!

Quickly, he headed back to FR to look for that FC while I remained near the cinema to wait for C2, but already stressed as the movie was about to start in minutes. After 5 minutes, C1 messaged me saying that when he arrived at FR, he didn’t immediately see FC and that it was a female crew who attended to him whom he reported the incident to. He inquired if the tickets could have been handed to her or their manager (read: lost and found).

The female crew said that she didn’t know a thing about the tickets, she also said there were already some crew members who finished their shift and left. It was at this point that C1 saw FC and asked him about the tickets. Feigning innocence, FC said that he thought it was nothing and that he threw the tickets to the trash bin.

C1 countered that they could go and search for it at the trash - which they did - but oddly, no tickets were found. Then the manager came and upon being told of the incident, remarked (verbatim), “ Ganun po talaga dito, pag may nakakalat sa sahig pinupulot at tinatapon.”  Really? What kind of manager would say that unused movie tickets found are to be trashed is beyond me.

Pressed for time and realizing the futility of it all, C1 told me to just proceed to the ticket station to ask what can be done about the problem. When I went to the station and told the staff about our missing tickets, I was shocked when they told me that there were two (2) guys who went earlier to ask  for a refund of the tickets! When the staff asked them for a confirmation number (for sureseats.com online booking), the guys failed to present anything and reasoned out that their friend who had the number already left. At this point, the staff thought that the guys may have decided to watch the movie instead, thus she asked the guard to go inside and checked if our seat numbers I-12,13,14 were occupied. The guys were still lucky that they did not watch, or what a scene it would have been!

Finally, after all the anxiety that we went through, my friends and I were finally able to watch the movie! After watching, we would have wanted to go back to FR to confront FC, but it was already late in the evening. When I got home, I got online and went to FR’s website and emailed them about the incident. Luckily, they replied quickly and said that they are going to conduct an investigation and would revert back to me. 

Early this afternoon, I got a call from a representative of FR to apologize for the incident and likewise informed me that the matter was already relayed to FC's employment agency for appropriate action to be taken thereof. 

As an afterthought, it deeply saddens me that this thing happened, and FC had to lie and take interest on the tickets as to refund them. It was obvious that FC asked his fellow FCs to refund the tickets for him and then perhaps would divide the loot among themselves..tsk tsk tsk. Was that what their training made of them?

It just dawned on me that what happened to us was not an isolated case – that this maybe a common practice to some FCs. What a way to repay their loyal customer.

The movie tickets worth Php750 wouldn’t have hurt so bad, but what if it were the more pricey stuff that their customers left, like gadgets – or cash? Will these FCs go for the Kill?

To all FC’s and the like, always keep in mind – Finders are not Keepers. Your customers are to be served, not robbed.

Thank you, Fashion Pulis, for giving me a space in your blog. God bless!

Sincerely,
Cheska

  1. Does the author of this complaint expect every piece of paper on the restaurant floor to be double-checked and announced? No one to blame but your friend's clumsiness.

    2. I think the FR here is the same FR na nasa tapat ng condo namin. I normally eat breakfast there. One time I left my phone tapos yung crew tumakbo pa para ibalik sakin. Anyway. Ewan ha. Pero ang dapat sisihin dito ay yung friend mo na mej burara

    3. Not to be nega madlang pipol but seriously isa yan sa mga reason kung bakit nakakaturn off tumira sa Pinas. Dito sa Tate and SG where i used to live, during my first few years, still nashoshock ako pag me nag tuturn in ng wallet at cellphone sa counter ng hotel where i used to work.

      One time i left my wallet in a grocery store at naalala ko lang after a few hours at when i came back to the same place, nandun tinago ng cashier. Parang nagulat ako maybe di ako sanay sa kultura natin.

      Tayo kasi finders keepers ang peg!

    4. Chillax, di ba inamin na nga ng crew na siya ang nakapulot? That's the thing, he knew na yung napulot nya was cashable that's why he kept it to himself. Comprehension pls. I'm sure kung sa inyo nangyari yun, you would comment differently.

      Delete
    5. sure, the crew are also at fault. but none of your
      'mind boggling' experience would have happened if not because of your friend's carelessness.

      Delete
    9. Anon 1:14 the issue hee is the crew lied to steal the tickets! Siguro naman, naiintindihan mo yun noh. For you to blame her friends carelessness is simply being ignorant and narrow minded. We all get careless sometimes fyi, bakit never ka bang naging careless? Acting superior here makes you look dumb.

    12. Ang moral lesson: KEEP YOUR TICKETS. CAREFULLY.

    13. 2.35 the tickets were lost by the owner and found by the crew, not stolen. Crew might have lied or maybe he was telling the truth and someone else found them and cashed them in but that doesn't mean he/she stole them. Some responsibility must lie on the owners for not looking after their property in the first place.

    14. Pilipino ako na nandito sa HK nakatira and I don't have that "finders keepers" attitude. May napulot akong phone sa taxi, I kept it on to wait for the owner to come and claim it. Nakakatuwa na sobrang pasasalamat nya.

    15. Siguro yung mga nagcocomment dito putting the blame on the carelessness of the letter sender's friend eh sila din yung may attitude na finder's keepers. #dishonestpeople

    3. ang punto dito ay yung l na pagkuha ng tickets at pagsabing tinapon ito when in fact ay pina-refund niya sa kanyang mga kaibigan. sa trabaho nila na service ang ibinebenta, mahalaga ang honesty and integrity. putting the tickets in the table or kung accidentally nahulog man ito is beside the point. the fact na pinulot ito ng crew at willfully ay hindi isinoli para i-encash, yung ang issue.

      Delete
    4. Inamin naman niya na napulot daw niya. But ang problem is the crew lied kasi when they checked with the ticket counter, someone tried to refund the tickets.... so hindi talaga itinapon.

    4. Wow, the ticket lost by her friend is irrelevant here as the crew did admit he took it and throw it in the trash bin. What the issue here is the fact that they lied and took time to refund them for gains. Duh.

    5. yang ang mali satim, sisihin pa yung nawalan, oo fault nila na nawala yun pero responsibility ng establishments na kapag may naiwan sa premise nila mababalikan pa ng may ari. hay naku. kaya ang chaka ng customer service saten e.

    6. Tama ka anon 11:11 yan ang isa sa mga pangit na ugali ng pinoy na sisihin pa ang nawalan. For example sa mga rape victims yung iba sinasabi pa na kesyo naka P*** short daw at halos labas ang kaluluwa kaya na ra rape. Kaya yang masasamang loob na iyan malalakas ang loob gumawa ng kaga***an dahil sa mga ganyang klase ng tao.

    1. Can I cancel purchased tickets?

      Yes you may still cancel online-purchased tickets but you must do so at least ONE HOUR before screening time. The amount will be credited back to your account.

      Source: sureseats.com

      No refund talaga pero ma credit back sa account once na pina cancel mo. Hindi nga din talaga mapapakinabangan ng naka pulot yung ticket no?. Ganyan pala pag online booking bongga pala. maka gawa nga ng account dyan kahit na may charge pa na 20pesos keribels na at least mahulog at madampot ng iba hindi magagamit..

  7. You're so full of yourself. Do you expect the crew, who are busy serving food and maintaining the place, to inspect every piece of paper they see? Your irresponsibility isn't their sense of urgency. Get over yourself. The world could use a break from shallow issues like this.

    4. Omg, you guys don't know if you really read the story above. If the crew didn't admit picking it up then you're comment applies here, because they can't point fingers when they don't have proof who really picked it up. But the crew did lie. The tickets were attempted to be refunded. End of the story. I wonder if Anon 12.32 will pick up something and owned it if he got the chance? LOL pathetic.

      Delete
    5. lol at your comment Anon 12:32 binasa mo ba lahat? naintindihan mo ba? yes actually na-inspect nya yung piece of paper na pinagsasasabi mo. ang nangyari, nagsinungaling sya na tinapon nya sa basurahan pero yun pala nirefund nila ng co-workers nya. walang pinagkaiba sa pagnanakaw.

    6. 12:32, of course!! Ang B*** mo naman!! Tingin mo kung di nya in-inspect yung ticket, pag-iinteresan nya? Kung envelope yun, you think palalampasin nya na wag buksan yun? Kaloka ka! Gamitin utak all the time, okay?

    7. It seems that you didn't read the entire story.Somebody went back and tried to refund it in cash.So that crew was able to see that it was really a ticket.This is a very shallow matter for some but it's about honesty and integrity,sayang dami ko pa naman nabasa about poor people returning huge amount of money to the owner sa pilipinas

    2. 12.48 I actually find yours and Cheska's attitude even more offending. There's a hint of snobbery in looking down on service crews. Most of them are honest and hard working people who are often working for pittance. Put yourself in their place and see how you would feel if people treat you like second class citizen and worst, as possible thief. Shame on you.

You're right, the missing ticket is not the issue but the liar crew. At FYI, CREW as we are pertaining to the one mentioned here. Hindi nilalahat.

    6. 2.49 By generalising all Filipinos as magnanakaw you do realise that you are one too. You might live elsewhere at moment and feeling all superior but guess what you're still Tatak Pinoy and you will always be seen as Pinoy so get over yourself.

Second, kung ang isang bagay ay nawala, pasalamat nalang kayo kung may mag babalik nun. Kung hindi na bumalik, then lesson learned. Ang moral nitong story? Iingatan ang mga gamit.

    2. Anon 1:23 why persecute the victim???! If u haven't read the story clearly, let me explain to u fully that the letter sender is not only annoyed because their tickets gone missing but more on the fact that people nowadays will go beyond just to get money out of dishonest acts! I don't understand why some of our kababayans like u are so harsh with their comments about certain issues w/o understanding the context of the story first. Always quick to judge; always jumps into conclusion. Its only fair to always hear both sides of the story before such comments. Reading comments here gives me nothing but culture shock of my own countr. Haven't been back home for so many years and it makes me realize how Filipinos have changed so much ever since social media was on its full force.

    3. Anon 1.23 is a "a frist world idiot". Without inspecting, really? oh dear, they DID INSPECT! That was why they went to refund the tickets! I am sure kung "cheque" yun baka tumakbo sa bank at ipa-encash. Kung ticket na 750 pinagnasaan, tseke pa?

  23. I think what irked her was they tried to get a refund for the tickets. It is one thing if you say you throw them out but another thing if you keep them and try to get the money out of it.

    It could also be that the crew really threw them but someone must have taken it out of the trash. Who knows. Just saying.

  30. Aw! Nakaka-hurt naman ng feelings si Anon 1:50 AM, I had the experienced working in a fastfood chain & I, myself act with manner sa mga customers. First, it is not a mistake on the part of the victim (as she may said it) we, as a person sometimes has this clumsiness in our part, we are human we commit mistakes while the fastfood server was tempt to do something bad because there is a situation that she/he can't resist which is but the letter sender said did not confirm any hideous crime until any investigation occur.

  31. Yung mga di nakaka-intindi ng ingles wag ng magcomment. Halatang walang nagets sa story. JUSKODAY! Ang issue, eh hindi naman kung napabayaan ang ticket kaya nawala? Ang issue is bakit ganun na lang ang manners nung fast food crew. WAG NATIN "mas" ireprimand yung nakawala ng ticket kesa dun sa intentional na pagtatago nung crew. Kumbaga sa usapang rape, mas kakampihan mo ba yung natuksong mang-rape kesa dun sa babaeng ni-rape dahil nag-maikling palda? Osya! Babooosh!

    1. Buti naman nakabasa ako ng comment na nakakaintindi nung kwento. Feeling ko sa ibang mga readers dito parang di na gegets buong kwento bago magbigay ng sariling opinion. Di lang dito sa post na ito. Pati sa iba pang mga post ni FP. Nag focus lang sa ibang part ng kwento the rest parang di na binasa. Di ko alam kung nakakaintindi ba ng english oh wala lang common sense.

      May magagalit pa jan kasi maiinsulto sa sinabi ko. Bow!

  32. Eto lang yan

    Sila sender kumain sa foodchain
    nalaglag ang tiket
    napulot ng crew
    binalikan si ticket
    tinanong ang crew
    hindi nag deny si crew re ticket, ang sabi tinapon nya
    nagkalkal sa basura
    walang nakita
    sa cinema may nag rerefund

    IN SHORT hindi tinapon ng crew ang ticket. ni pass out sa mga ka co-crew ang ticket para maging pera.

    Ang pinaglalaban ni letter sender dito yung pagiging dishonest ng crew. at kung talagang tinapon dapat nasa trashcan. the fact na hindi nag deny ang crew na nakapulot means inamin din nya ang nagawa nyang kasalanan (baka mawalan ng work ang pobre)

    Minsan kasi mag isip tayo mga becks bago mag comment di yung puro lang tayo pang ba-bash. Lawakan ang pagiisip. Para nyo na din kasing kinokonsinte ang ginawa ng mga crew.

    to letter sender naman. next time magdala ng bag lols. buti nalang tinawagan ka kasi kasiraan ng company nila yan. and pls tell your friend na maging aware din sa mga gamit nyo.

  36. Kung ako doon sa nag report ng nawalan ng ticket, bakit di nalang kayo nag sumbong sa Police? The last time I checked, hindi Pulis si FP :) Fashion Pulis lang sya ;) Or kaya kumuha siya ng lawyer para alam kung ano ang nakasaad sa batas tungkol sa nawalan/nakapulot ng valuable item. Pareho naman kasi kayong may kasalanan. Yung nakawala ng ticket, burara. Yung nakapulot sinungaling.

  39. I don't understand why commenters are blaming the friend for being burara. That's not the issue here, and for you to focus on that just shows how you would act in such a situation if you were the crew. Had the crew thrown the ticket away I don't think there'd be an issue, but the crew didn't and asked someone to cash it in.

  40. The nerve naman nung FC to get refunds for something they did not pay for. But I guess that's what they are after. Careful nalang talaga sa stuff and be vigilant. I like how the letter sender handled the whole thing.

  42. Let's wait for the statement of the crew bago manghusga. kahit ako turn off sa kung ganyan nga ang nangyari but hintayin natin na may lumabas din sa side ng crew. we don't know exactly what had happend.

  43. Tinatapon nila lahat ang nahuhulog? Di ako naniniwala, what if important document yun. Normally the clerk asks the person nearest to the item found if sa kanila yun. TSK TSK bad bad..

  44. Nag-english pa kasi si letter sender. Kaya yung ibang beks kuda ng kuda basta basta. Kung itinagalog yan, aminin na natin, maintindhan agad. Comment din ng english yung iba akala mo naman napakabigat ng dinaramdam.

  45. It's a poor country and honesty seems to be the exception rather than the general rule. Kaya nga abot abot na lang ang papuri natin sa mga taxi drivers natin na nagsasauli ng malalaking halaga na naiiwan ng mga pasahero nila. Pang-araw araw na sentimyento na natin ang ibinahagi ng letter sender. At kadalasan, kapag nagsalita ka ng kung ano ang tama at dapat, ikaw pa ang mali. Ikaw pa ang self-righteous. I understand the frustration and disappointment of the one who wrote the letter. It's not about the money. Siguro nga hanggang sa ganitong level na lang talaga ang kayang abutin ng mga Pinoy bilang isang bansa kasi on an individual level ang baba ng ineexpect natin sa sarili natin.

  46. I think sinungaling yung crew,maybe sila yung pumunta sa cinema para i refund yung ticket. Sinabi nga ng crew napulot niya pero itinapon niya yung ticket dapat tinago niya yung ticket kc hindi pa naman nagamit.

  47. I have a feeling that this people that are condoning the service crew who picked up and tried to refund the tickets should read the entire story or they will do the same thing if they find something of value

  50. Grabe naman makajudge. Pwede nga naman kasing sinungaling ung crew pero kung root cause ung titingnan.. I think it came from carelessness. Wg sna lahatin ang mga pinoy kasi d lahat ng tao magnanakaw.. U'l be surprise kahit basurero kayang magbalik ng gamit n nkita nilang nahulog from another person. Hinay hinay lang sa paglalahat kasi pinoy din kayo or tao din kayo. At d dhil mas mataas sweldo nyo dun sa tao you can easily point fingers. Shouldnt you be thankful n napanood nio p ung movie despite sa pagiging careless nyu. Too much of yourself is was a good comment.

  51. Naka-encounter na rin ako ng ganyan, hindi ako binigyan ng receipt ng cashier & nung binilang ko na yung sukli sakin kulang ng 100 pesos! Sinabi pa sakin ng manager na lumabas ata kami ng kasama ko at ginastos na yung 100! Sabi ko nga sa kanya eh di i-check nyo sa CCTV! Bandang huli nakita nila na iniipit nung kahera yung pera sa singit ng machine! Hindi lang 100 kundi 500 pesos pa ang inipit nya! After a few days, pagbalik namin, witit na yung kahera, sinibak siguro...

  52. It was very unfortunate that this happened to you. Parang nagiging instinct ng tao na kapag may napulot, inaangkin na nila. Kaya kahanga-hanga yung mga nababalita na nagsosoli ng napulot na wallet/bag.

    Un lang, dont generalize na they got it from training. Most FC are contractual employees, 5months per contract. Mas matagal ang years spent outside of the establishment, kaya minsan this is based on character na.

  55. careful or careless, the friend should not be blamed. it's what the FC did that was not right. kaya nga my mga honest nman na taxi driver who would return large amount of money left by a passenger. 750peso-movie ticket is not a small amount. sino naman may gusto mawalan? honesty is what FC doesn't have. nde po masaya sa pakiramdam ung may mga kapwa ka na imbes na tulungan ka na lang, iisahan ka pa.
