The
performance was done for an elegant wedding at the Midas Cafe and told that I
have to get the fee on Monday being a working day for it was handled by the
purchasing department of Midas Hotel knowing that we would be paid that same
night but dismay befell me and what can I do but to come back for our minimal
fee as wedding musicians.
Then,
Monday came and went to claim our fee coming from afar just to settle but it
was so frustrating being told that the check had to be prepared. Before hand, I
was told that they would pay as in cash. I spitted my dismay that for a small
amount they have to make hard for us musicians to claim what was due us. I
couldn’t do more so went home feeling disgusted.
Then
on, I kept following if the check was ready but it had to be signed yet and the
signatories were still busy. That fair reasoning annoyed me that much but still
gained my composure.
I
waited until Friday because I was told it would be ready by then. Reaching the
accounting department I went to claim my check but it was named Augustine Music
and Events instead of Mario Lupato which I told them to put, so I could not
encash it because my bank account name is Mario Lupato. I asked the lady who
attended me if there was a way for me to have it in my name and said that I have
to wait until Friday. I suggested that they type my name above Augustine Music
and Events but she argued that signatories still were needed and they have to
wait for them to do sign.
I
didn’t leave yet thinking there might be another solution to this. The lady
didn’t even bother to let me sit and kept answering the phone never paying
attention to my dilemma. Then, once again told me that they couldn’t do
anything. Maybe, the chief accountant felt that I wanted to settle this problem
that same day and went to the cashier department if something to be done. At
least, she had little understanding rather than the other lady.
With
the help of JOANNE, I happened to ask her name, to give me the cash instead. Without
her I would be troubling following up our talent fee again and again. When she
said to pay me cash instead, my trouble was over.
I
WANT TO THANK HER THROUGH THIS BLOG FOR SHE IS A PERSON WHO UNDERTSTANDS
SOMEONE’S TROUBLE.
TO
YOU JOANNE, FROM MIDAS HOTEL ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT, THANK YOU SO MUCH AND MAY
THE BEST IN LIFE BE YOURS.
