“Please
continue to enjoy trusting my integrity if you wish, but do not
extend it to my accuracy!.. I am not infallible, though better than
aam-aadmi at counting currency notes, by virtue of my job...”
I
used to say often...
(The
moment they are able to trust me, their polarisation towards their
comfort-zone seeks to invoke their laziness to speed ahead towards
it, like we step on the accelerator on a smooth, vast, straight and
lonely highway!... This is a 'trait' we find too often when we
misconstrue 'reliability' as a 'dependability'.....)
And
the other person ... unable to match this 'style of argument' for
the time being at least (he is having more important things
'ready-at-hand' than trying to even grasp what I said, only then to
conjure a counter-argument!)... he helplessly goes through the
motions of 'confirming' my cohesiveness of my mind and fingers, when
they matched the target of 99+1 (we cashiers, have a style, of
'claiming' that we count only up to 99... the 100th one is 'there,
glaring at me' already! A Sadistic sense of achievement at a
'stupid-dexterity'!)...
The
disclaimer on the note-slip, that forms a label of that
100-pieces-packet says, 'Satisfy yourself, that it is okay in every
manner... later on don't haggle... no blame game' (effectively,
this is what is says, in more-polite words).. The main worry is,
about who is the 'holder-in-due-course' of a fake note... more than
the loss of money, the 'running around' by that Uniformed personnel,
who might have run-out-of pocket money that has to come from 'other
sources' , not just-salary... might accelarate that 'needless run
for money', sponsored by fake-money, for a change!..
How
to deploy trust? (Already it is in short supply within us , right
now!)
I
guess, that it is this capability to 'deploy' trust is the fulcrum on
which the edifice of interpersonal skill rests!
