On the recent weekend, I see MPs accompanied by large groups of assistants, moving from table to table and stall to stall, interacting with residents. It really gets on my nerves because, while I'm eating, I was interrupted by them. You’re expected to stop eating, stand up, and shake hands with them. It feels like they're in a rush to get through as many people as possible. The interaction feels insincere, like they're prioritizing quantity over quality.
I watched one auntie try to engage the MP for a longer conversation, but he just smiled, nodded, and seemed distracted, while an assistant took notes. Everything felt mechanical, lacking any real human connection.
Next time, I’ll have to put a big "Do Not Disturb" sign on my table.
