Sitting while waiting

3rdy
By 3rdy

That was almost 1900 hrs, I was waiting my wife along corridor inside SPINNEYS MALL in The Pearl and I saw the chairs along corridor in front of QNB bank.

I sat there and tried to wait my wife on that place, when suddenly one security guard approached me to leave that chair and tell me that I am not allowed to sit in that chair because I am not Qatari.

"Only qatari are allowed to sit on that chair."

Take note people of Qatar if anyone of you are planning to go shopping in this place - maybe it will happen the same to you.

"You are not allowed to sit in that chair..."

3rdy: I have been here for quite some time now and find your incident somewhat difficult to digest!

Nobody can tell you that - you should sit and refuse to move until he calls his superior!

I think what the post states is totally false and a mere fabrication of the mind.

@Saju5883: There is no place in qatar or any where in the world that says that no one can sit any where. and especialy in qatar, nothing of this type is there. if the security has said then the security should show any memo stating that it is reserved only for Qataris and a place like pearl, i dont think there is any rule segregating, qataris n non-qataris.

If the security has said then, 3rdy should complain this to the ministry as well as QNB management.

If he said like that you have to find an another empty chair which is not reserved for "Qataris".
