yes ar, after I asked my first yan yan to buy food for us, I never asked my other maids to do it again!
My first yan yan went to market + supermarket for 2 hrs each day....for me, it only took 1 hr...(I was also pregnant!!)..... I asked her why she took so long, she said she was waiting to cross the red light, many traffic...chi sin!!!!!
When I asked her to buy something for me from the supermarket, like I gave her $50, she would spend all the $30 to buy extra things for herself...e.g. she bought a canned fish for herself! chi sin!!!!
after that stupid + lier, I never let my maids to go shopping for me!!!! even for her own food, e.g. bread, I buy for her!!! I rather have her cleaning at home than wasting time 'walking around & talking to friends'!!!!!
