You lot should think yourselves lucky,
Here in the Philippines their idea of customer service is to blatantly lie to one's face and when one might decide to say to them "Stop lying to me you goddam son of a bitch" one needs to say it in a calm voice and with a smile on one's face ... but it doesn't work, much of Asia is moving forward but the Philippines is still stuck in the dark ages because nobody actually "kicks ass" here.
And as for them begging and asking for money based on my (white) skin colour, the carol singing started on 01 December, I've had 26 days of bl00dy carol singers now and my resort guests are peeing their pants that "Harry" my dog has, by now, been trained to chase away the carol singers
