Gluttony

One of the 7 deadly sins ~ Gluttony!

2 days ago i discovered'gluttony'from my guests. -_-

She called me up mentioned want to view the venue for her group event. She was demanding that i need to buy her lunch. Fine, my boss agreed to sign off the entertainment bill. Then she told me she will bring along her associates along, together will be 3 persons. Thus, i just made the reservation.

Guess what? She turned up 4 persons. I've no choice need to entertain 4 monkeys there. (mind you, 3 penguins yeah!!) 2 fat and 2 skinny one...
Besides, not all fat people are gluttons.The truth is, many skinny people are gluttons.

First of all, we have to understand that it’s good to eat. "Go,eat your bread with enjoyment, and drink your wine with a merry heart." But, can u imagine, these 4 monkeys when i invited them go for buffet lunch, they just like 2 days never eat like that..mind you, now is Hungry Ghost Festival. Finally, i found 4 here..Muahaha.. *gulp* Plates are filling up food, one person carried 2 plates of food. Come on, no one would fight food with you. Once finished, food will be replenished. They just keep eating and eat..and keep asking me whether i get free meal or not? of coz i entitle duty meal daily, but not in outlet just at cafeteria, somehow sometimes my boss will buy me lunch / dinner for free at outlet. Imagine 24/7 & 365days you will eating at the same venue, how do you feel? I don't feel any special, just eat whatever is available, whatever i prefer. Eat to live or live to eat?

Oh yeah! today the greedy woman asked for discount on the bill. Fine, we granted her 20% off on food bill due to her boss just joined as membership as per his benefit. Guess what? She refused to pay the bill for 90 persons. She made the reservation for 90 pax, and she got my confirmation letter. Yet i told her we will charge accordingly as whoever came for lunch, we of coz did head count physically. She just so 'pelik' twist and turn, mentioned that on her name list is only 82 to 85, She wanna to bitch about the issue. Till the outlet manager can't handle her, went around look for me high & low. Noon time, this bitch has twisted the fact on the rostrum and PA system matter, now she even tried her luck to twist on the payment. She even demand free hotel voucher from me and refuse to pay full payment. Where got this kind of people finished the meal refused to settle one? The person (her boss)who will pay for this bill not even sound anything, she was the one who bitch about this. I told her off, we don't practise charge the bill based on customer's name list, who know your associate bring any spouse or children? Be fair enough, we have 2 staff here to do physically head count with others as witness, even we counted for 2-3 times, shouldn't be wrong! Furthermore, we granted discount on bill. I never tolerate on her bitchy falsehood, nah..dare to challenge me not to pay the bill, i still stay firm to ask her boss to pay off the bill. Please lah...If a big corporate company can organized an event for makan-makan in a 5 star hotel, should be able to pay off the bill right? don't dilly dally come negotiate with me, look so cheapsket! Bitch! mind you, if you want to negotiate with me, you should negotiate before you confirm your reservation and agreed with my quotation. Don't after all, came demand for free stuff! Nothing is always free yeah! it will comes with term & conditions! Bitch, you pick the wrong person to try out your luck for free goodie! Since day one, you came for free lunch i've tolerate all. We are doing business not doing charity!! Sorry for you lah..You want free meal u got it once, you want discount i granted, you even want to pay less, you will not get it from me! *tee-hee* Go back practise your dirty trick first, learn more lesson only come again lah!! So sick to deal with this kind of idiot bitch!

What is gluttony? Here’s the surprise: gluttony isn’t eating too much food;
gluttony is being preoccupied with food, regardless of how much or how little we
eat. Gluttony is that preoccupation with food that distracts us from profounder
aspects of life. At some point we’ve all sat by someone at a wedding reception
who couldn’t have cared less about the happy occasion. She had no interest in
the joyful send-off of the happy young couple and the future opening out before
them. She wasn’t even interested in the party that would take up the evening.
Instead she was wholly preoccupied with three matters:

What’s for lunch
/ dinner? (food..more food!)

Will there be enough? (nah.how much you can
eat?)

Is the food free? (of coz it's free!)

hmm...persuaded that gluttony is found among food-faddists, as well as among those who are extremists in any respect where food is concerned.

I’m always amused when people tell me that today’s food processing is harmful in this respect or that respect. Do they have any idea how many more people, vastly more people, sickened, even died, decades ago when food processing was much less sophisticated?

This preoccupation with food-fads is rooted in one thing: fear of dying. The health-food faddists unconsciously think they can eat their way into immortality. But we are mortal creatures. Death is inescapable. One day we still need to face the reality, DEATH! It's part of our life cycle! Don't be the one EAT till bloated you get to die or starving till to die..

Food-preoccupied people unconsciously think we can transcend our frailty and fragility. Eating so very carefully is supposed to overturn our mortality. Food faddism is gluttony not because these people overeat (they never overeat) but because this kind of food-preoccupation keeps us feeding ourselves lies about ourselves.

What about skinny people? Let’s be honest: many skinny people count calories as though calories were germs. Remember, a preoccupation with food-avoidance is still a preoccupation with food.

Hey, your lover couldn’t care less if you are ten pounds overweight coz he/she loves you as who you are! As long as you stay healthy! Come on, don't let eating disorder become your friend.
Remember to value your food, delight in the food that we are having in sufficient portions. ENJOY! Oh yeah..remember to keep some food for your beloved one, don't be so selfish swallow all the food!
