Dunno if this should be posted as "Showbiz" because of the involvement of a fashion designer but what he did was freaking "dehumanizing."

Boyet Fajardo's "taray" scene at Duty Free Mall

Over the weekend, I received an angry e-mail regarding an incident which left a lot of people who were at the Duty Free Fiesta Mall in Parañaque last March 13 outraged.

I verified the contents of the e-mail and found out that they were all true.

A designer who supplies clothes to a known mall chain reportedly created a scene, to the shock and horror of shoppers and employees alike, when a cashier asked for his ID after presenting his credit card.

The reason why the cashier politely did this, was because the credit card was unsigned. This is an SOP or standard operating procedure in cases like this, in order to verify ownership of the credit card, so what’s wrong with that?

Suddenly, the designer reportedly got furious and, at the top of his voice, started berating the cashiers and managers of Duty Free.

The designer further shocked bystanders by cussing the people there with words like “leche” and “p…ina,” while angrily expressing surprise why the people there did not recognize him.

He also threatened to call his contacts -- all people in “high places” -- and demanding that those who crossed him be fired. Whew! Heavvyyyy!

And if you think that was it, here’s more: The designer further demanded that for him to be appeased, the cashier must kneel down before him so he could slap his face.

To appease the designer, the cashier agreed to do so -- fortunately, minus the slapping.

A casual employee of Duty Free, the cashier was crying in shame while obliged to the demand of the angry customer and even apologized, perhaps for fear of losing his job.

I can’t imagine how this designer treats his employees, if any, or his helpers, for that matter. He may be moneyed alright, but this certainly does not make him a GOD.

Sa kanyang iniasta, tinalo pa daw ng designer na ito ang kilalang kontrabida sa pelikula na si Joaquin Fajardo. Oh, well…

Grabe ang kakapalan ng pagmumukha neto.
