Good afternoon guys,

So I have a customer who I buy soft drinks(minerals, malt, recharge cards and Bags of sachet water from).

She also does POS business. This is where I patronize her the most.

This woman is in her late 40s, I call her "mummy".

I buy things from her almost everyday since her shop is close to my house.

Sometimes, I buy her drinks. I also buy drinks for her last child, a girl who is 7years of age. 2/5 times I go there, I buy her whatever I'm buying for myself. If her baby girl is in the shop, I also buy her drinks and biscuits.

I give her money to safeguard for me, especially when I need to use the money later. This helps me not to spend the money except for the purpose it is meant for.

Whenever I buy bread on my way back from work, and I pass through her shop to make withdrawals, she would ask me if I bought same bread for her. Then I would say No, I didn't. Afterwards, she will ask me to get her a loaf the next day. And I will gladly do it. These are loaves of bread worth 2k cos I don't eat these small small breads. I have bought her bread like five times on different occasions and each was 2k.
Sometimes, I go to her shop and meet her with her friends, I will buy them malt and pay. Also, whenever I keep money in her custody, and I'm collecting the money in bits, she will be charging me. For instance, if I told her I needed 2k from same money I gave her to save for me, she will give me the 2k cash and also deduct her charges. I never complained because I felt she was only doing her business.
There was a time I bought a bottle of coke and biscuits worth five hundred naira(500) and I couldn't pay back for almost two weeks. To my shock, this woman kept sending people to me to come pay her the money. She even had to come knock on my door. I felt really embarrassed. But no hard feelings, I continued patronizing her.
Do you know that each time I give her money to keep for me, I always dash her 2k from same Money?. This is just to appreciate her. I find joy in giving.

Now this is happened today:
I went to her shop to pay her for the items(a bag of sachet water, malt and airtime) I collected yesterday. The total was #1600( One thousand and six hundred naira only). I went there, withdrew 6k and I asked her to take out her 1600 and give me my balance after also deducting her 100 charges. When she gave me the balance, I remembered I still needed another 2k, so right there, without moving an inch, I asked her to give me another 2k. I gave her my ATM card and pleaded with her to take 50naira for her charges instead of the usual 100naira charges. But she refused and insisted on her maximum 100naira charges. I initially thought she was joking, but no she wasn't. She gave me Back the 50naira I had given her and withdrew 2100 from the POS and handed over to me. I stood still for a few seconds and began to ask myself some salient questions.

Like, is this how people are?
This is a woman that I have NEVER benefitted anything from and I thought the least she could do for me was to accept that 50naira without contemplating or having to think twice.
I'm thinking of completely cutting off from her cos I feel terrible right now. I feel like I've being a fool all this while.

May God help us in this world.

... Best thing, you better drop that Mr Nice guy attitude to unknown people who doesn't give a damn about you. You are her customer not her father Xmas,.. Ensure you don't always buy your stuff from one seller, have different sellers to patronize.. The moment you start to patronize other sellers, she gonna start to call you and treat you well so as to win you back, but once bitten........

Dear nlfpmod, Seun, Mynd44, Lalasticlala.

Please move this to the front page I beg u.

I seriously need mass reactions from nairalanders to enable me take my stand right now. Pls

Very good experience.

Now you learning what comes with being good.

The world does not love good people and why they don’t live long. They always thinking how to make their surrounding and environment a better place, and that takes a toll on their mental health and body organs. Disappointments and betrayals could lead them to stroke and heart attack cos they too emotional and care too much.

But when you ruthlessly with life, it doesn’t even bother to test you cos it sure knows you mean.

Trust me, being good doesn’t pay much, and you have to be good, DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING IN RETURN
