A Chinese retailer was left very unhappy last Saturday morning, when her hair was cut as punishment by a customer. The unhappy customer, Altus Ndjoze (26) wanted a refund for a watch that he bought the previous day from one of the shops in China Town in Katutura, but the Chinese woman refused to refund or replace the broken watch. "I paid N$200 for that watch. It was working perfectly well yesterday, but when I woke up this morning it was dead," an angry customer explained. He added, "That Chinese woman know very well that I brought the watch just yesterday from her shop, but now she is pretending that she does not remember me. Yesterday she was very polite and friendly when she took my money and now she is very rude and acting all strange. I got so mad at her. The only thing that I could see clearly was her long two pony tails and the pair of scissors lying on the table in front of me. I picked up the scissors, grab her by the left pony tail and ask her one more time to give me my money back, but she still refused. I than cut the pony tail off until I could feel her loose hair in my hand. When she started shouting at me and calling me names in her language, that is when I realized what I have done," Ndjoze boasted. He, however, admitted that cutting the Chinese retailer’s hair was wrong as his behavior did not change the situation. He promises to improve his behavior in the future and not to go around cutting other people's hair. "How long will this go on? These Chinese people are taking us all for a ride. They are fooling us into buying their low priced products which does not last for very long. I have lost N$200 and now I still have to buy another watch. I have learned my lesson. I will never buy anything from any China Shop ever again," Ndjoze said. Most of the Chinese manufactured products in Namibia are of very poor quality. However, one question remains, why they produce poor quality products? Could this perhaps also apply to the popular say; "you get what you pay for". The Chinese people are surely not stupid.
