I guess my story didn't emphasize the fact that it was an expat vs. Qatari and that he was well known (and probably could have used a Wasta) but didn't.
Doesn't matter which country in the world you live in, Wasta goes everywhere. :D
I remember getting a Vodafone contract in the UK despite being rejected (because I had another two contracts already), however I jumped the cue of 20 people and had the contract opened because a friend was on the floor at the time. (In this case I was given a wasta, oh and I told my friend "are you sure its ok? I don't want to jump a cue". Just to point out I'm a nice guy :D)
