My loyalty was shattered.

I have this loyalty thing where I buy specific stuff from specific people. If it's shopping, it's either MegaStandard (even though their service sometimes suck), or Capital Shoppers. If it’s movies, I have my favourite DVD store. And if I go there and they don’t have a certain movie that I want, I can wait until they get it. I buy all my airtime or do mobile money business from one agent around home.

I go to one salon to do my hair, I have my favourite barber who knows my style. I don’t like those things of sitting in a salon and explaining to the barber what I want him to do in my small but nice head. In this salon, I just sit and the guy does exactly what I want. Which leads me to the topic of this post.

I passed-by this morning on my way to town and saw that they've turned my salon (not that I own it), into a bar. Yes. Of all things, a bar for God's sake!!! I was pissed, disappointed, sad, mad, confused, grieved, and all those other things.  I think these people want to incite violence.

All I asked myself was why? Okay I know Ugandans drink a lot and so a bar is a profitable business but seriously, why??? Did they put into consideration what we, the people that used to frequent that salon, had in mind? How we felt and all?? I'm so pissed right now.

It's not fair. It's like being madly in love with a girl and everything going good but she wakes up one day just out of the blue and decides to breakup with you(this too actually happened to me last year, but that's a story for another day). No warnings no signs no nothing. And you'd turned your back on every other girl around saying they ain't worth your time. So now that you guys have broken up, you can't just start hitting on 'em. You're literally f..ked.

I don't know whether you people feel my pain or even get my point. They would’ve at least called us and told us about their plans. If they were making losses and couldn't manage the costs, they'd have increased the price. We are loyal, we would’ve stuck with them. Jeez!! My loyalty was shattered. Now I have to look for another salon and try develop my loyalty with them.
