Shopping can be too annoying in malaysia

I went to this shopping complex in Kuching the other day. I had to buy a dress shirt for a meeting (it's more like a course) that night. I thought the meeting, which was held in a hotel, was only carried out during the daytime, but to my vain it continued into the night. All i did was i just grabbed a shirt without a careful thought and thorough inspection. So, I whizzed to a counter, hoping i would get there first. Nobody i was standing at the counter except the cahsier. I was very glad. Strewn on the counter were a wallet left open and a shirt while the cashier was finished counting money. So where was the owner of the wallet? My head turn 360 degree. He was standing a few inches from me with one hand holding a mobile phone to his ear and the other was busily selecting the hanging clothes. How irritating it was!!! He was talking loudly in a local dialect expecting people to hear him bragging about something. The cashier face remained calm. But i emphatically knew how he felt. That guy was a perfect example of rudeness and selfish. Is this the kind of Malaysian attitude to be shown to the world where people are talking about the ICT and globalisation...I guess not.
