The article presents a critical representation of some so called “uncivil liberal practices” being performed by various service industries such as tour and travels by means of providing lucrative offers to their target customers through telephonic conversation. In the article the author shares his own experience of telephonic conversation with a travel agency in which he was informed that he have been preselected by computer to win a trip to Hawaii for only dollar 1,198, including air travel and hotel room and a free Mahu Bahani cocktail upon arrival.
