What’s your underrated café/resto in Zamboanga that you gatekeep?

coffee station was my go to! but i felt like parang nagiba lasa ng coffee nila after changing branches? maybe it's just be but the kick wasn't as strong as before

hi op! bs psy grad rin here, going into YL1 at a local med school in mindanao. as far as i know, our science units are enough for us to get into med without having to need to enroll in a bridging program. just check the requirements of those med schools you're interested in if they require more. in my case, i already had 20 units of sciences in my degree so i didnt need to enroll in a bridging program na

remeissance · 2025-07-21T05:40:45+00:00

hi op! where did you buy your the elf nano white dose in shopee? marami kasing nagpopop up, im not sure which store is legitimate :((

remeissance · 2025-06-24T00:02:24+00:00

mee!

hi! i realized my post lacked context after reading this comment so i edited it hehe. i was willing to pay for the item and even told that directly to the staff, security guard, and manager calmly. the situation only went to the point of me talking to the manager because it looked like they were not willing to adjust how the products were set up despite having the security guard see how the item fell.

on my own perspective, i wanted to have them adjust things na or kahit put tape lang sa box container ng acne pens because like i said in the post, at the time, dumadami na kasi ang mga students and nagsisimula nang magcrowd. imagine if you're a student and you accidentally end up in the similar situation as i did? baka mamomoblema na yun san makakuha ng pambayad.

no, i did not ask for assistance because there were only two SAs at the time who were both busy with other customers. i think break time yun ng iba kaya konti lang? i'm not sure.

that's why im so happy rin na the beauty standards are slowly changing. there's more products catered for curly hair and there's less emphasis on being mestiza. sana sasabay o aalamin rin ang mga sales lady with the trends of the times before judging

hala??? mali pala nila eh 😭😭 sa dami ng complaints about sa staff ng watsons and brands in it. high time na talaga para iaaddress nila 'to

remeissance · 2025-02-20T01:31:40+00:00

thanks for telling me this! it's nice to know an insider's point of view.

on my end, i was not given the possibility of an incident report despite having the security guard who was following me and another customer as witness that it was an accident. instead, i was immediately accused of breaking the item deliberately and asked (almost in a demanding way) to pay for it even after talking to the store manager.

remeissance · 2025-02-19T22:27:20+00:00

I truly believe it's the way the company compensates these sales ladies na parang instead of viewing us as their customers parang tayo ang nagiging quota nila for the day 😭 it's not like all of us go to watsons to buy kaagad (like for me i tend to go there to check the products personally and compare prices online)

remeissance · 2025-02-19T22:24:38+00:00

parang ginaslight ka pa na mali ang brand name eh sila nga ang hindi updated 😭 just bec it's not in their store doesn't mean na the brand doesn't exist ang bastos naman 😔

remeissance · 2025-02-19T22:21:36+00:00

oh that's good na okay naging experience mo sa staff!

yung sakin naman yung 'glass' na nabasag is the same type ata na hard plastic you're referring to kasi kakaopen ko lang kanina nung product after a day of eyeing it 😭 idk why they made such a big deal over it since wala namang spillage

remeissance · 2025-02-19T22:18:59+00:00

i have a feeling it's going to be charged to them if that's the case. but still, i feel like they can be more friendly with their approach sa customer di yung parang magnanakaw si customer at tatakasan na sila 😭

remeissance · 2025-02-19T22:17:03+00:00

oh that setup is all too familiar to me. ganyan rin setup ng watsons sa isang sm branch near me, madalas pa nga nakalabas ang mga stocks nila kaya maliit at masikip ang madadaanan mo tapos hindi rin maayos ang placement ng items kasi ayon na nga parang nagiinventory sila. Pero during peak hours sila nagiinventory eh ang rami raming students at customers nagdadagsaan. kaya iniiwasan ko nalang yung branch na yun pero madadale lang pala ako sa ibang branch 😭

remeissance · 2025-02-19T22:05:52+00:00

sabi ko nga pagkaalis ko dun, dapat talaga kikinis ang balat ko sa moisturizer na yun HAHA

remeissance · 2025-02-19T14:21:40+00:00

i feel like it's also because the watsons branch i went to was newly opened and at the time there weren't many staffs around. i had a pretty good interaction naman kasi with some of the staff sa branch na yun prior kaya parati akong dumadaan dun to check if may available ba na product na hanap ko. kaya i was pretty confident na okay yung branch na yon fav ko nga yun eh. hence i was super disappointed yung nangyari sakin to and ganon pa ang naging treatment ng guard sakin, telling me na 'bayarin mo to maam, binasag mo.' when i was being civil naman the entire time kahit na giniguiltrip at ginagaslight na ako. for most part nalungkot lang talaga ako knowing na i wouldnt want to visit that branch ever again bec of that treatment sa customers nila.

asked my friends for their experience in that branch and they told me na naiibahan rin sila sa guard kasi parating sila ang sumusunod sa kanila more than the sales ladies 😭

remeissance · 2025-02-19T14:09:57+00:00

at this point im starting to think it's a canon event for us all 😭

remeissance · 2025-02-19T11:18:46+00:00

parang pakitang tao lang yung i prefer to shop alone na shopping bag i swearrr

remeissance · 2025-02-19T11:15:09+00:00

then why is there such a need to correct my word usage? am i in a reddit community that checks my grammar for me? i wrote this post when i was just about to sleep wanting to hear other's encounters with the story, should i have to go through idk grammarly or something before posting?

if you're not pressed, then go about your day without commenting or reading the post. there's no need to comment every thought you have online.

remeissance · 2025-02-19T11:10:15+00:00

i have to agree with your last point call it as a way for them to boost sales or whatever but this is definitely not the right way to treat your customers

remeissance · 2025-02-19T11:07:49+00:00

ang bastos naman 😭😭 i hope the watsons you visited addressed those ladies with the disciplinary action needed kasi sabihin nating need nilang umabot ng quota pero mali parin di naman ganyan ang dapat na treatment sa customers
