Duty Free customer not off the hook
MANILA, Philippines—The employees union of Duty Free Philippines (DFP) in Parañaque City Wednesday threw its support behind a cashier who was humiliated by a customer who berated him for asking for identification in a credit card transaction.
“Even if he were just a casual employee, we will support him all the way if he files a complaint,” DFP employees union president Dennis Mallari told the Philippine Daily Inquirer, referring to employee Marvin Fernandez.
On March 13, Fernandez and store manager Susan Gonzales were berated by Boyet Fajardo, a fashion designer, at DFP Fiesta Mall.
Footage from the DFP’s closed-circuit camera was aired on the video-hosting website YouTube, along with an online petition calling for a boycott of Fajardo’s clothing stores.
Fajardo has since apologized to Fernandez, but a DFP lawyer told a radio station Wednesday their legal division was investigating to see if Fajardo could be sued.
Mallari also filed a complaint in the Commission on Human Rights.

A boycott will happen through the right process with or without this online petition. This is another classic case of people jumping into the bandwagon just so they can say something. This rant includes those of the online community who do not realize the sharpness of their rotten words.
Yes, he was wrong. Yes he deserves punishment. But it's not for you to decide whether action will be taken against him, and the specific action.
Yes, this is public sympathy. Yes, we are all concerned citizens. But this has spun way out of control, crossing the boundaries of sympathizing to just ignorant and unfavorable persecution.
Are we not subject to those kinds of moments? Do we not commit mistakes when boxed in? stressed out? Are we perfect creatures compared to him? Why are you so quick with stones, when you don't even know of your mistakes.
For all we know, your personal actions also merit the same treatment. It was just of pure luck that your actions weren't caught by the public eye.
Mga chismoso, nagmamagaling, nagmamalinis, akala mo naman perpekto. Masyado kayong maraming alam, pag manlalait kayo ng ibang tao.
Gossip monkey, know-it-all, you think your perfect. You know and say too many things when another person in at fault.
Now how does that feel? I hope I translated the message well.

hey kiddo how are you? read your blog, grabe naman kasi ginawa nung customer sa employee...pinaluhod niya para lang patawarin nung customer...degraded him thoroughly... yes its true no one is perfect, we all have our own outbursts pero its still a reminder that respect has to be earned. no matter what, if he's educated enough di pa din niya dapat ginawa yun sa employee...oh well just my side. hope youre good :)
hey Melai:) am good :) you?
Well, if you commited a mistake would you want to recieve sharp and hurtful words from everyone just to remind you of your mistake? Just to tell you that you did something wrong and that you should be punished for it? I don't think that will be neccessary :)
