McDonalds

[6_6]

I went to the shop today...

the local shop owner is a nice guy and my story will demonstrate this fact...anyhow I had 10,000 won in my pocket and brought the following items,

two packs of instant noodles

a yogurt (strawberry)

a pack of ciggy's

the bill was, wait for it, 10,500 won...so I was short by about 50 pence in real money..now the guy doesn't speak a word of English and I m not yet fluent in Korean so I felt a little embarrassed..

also adding to my embarrassment was the fact that the store owners family where visiting and talking in excited tones at the fact a westerner had so little money and what a shame that I could not or did not understand the basic principles of capitalist trading systems.

I used my sign language skills to explain

'I will be back later with the owed money, so don't worry and please forgive my lack of math and basic korean language skills'

So I went back home..which to be fair is about a 2 minutes from the shop...and picked the owed money.

I returned to the shop where on walking in to the shop the store owner was handing out money like it was going out fashion to his family....

I paid the owed money and with a big smile on his face he said 'fuck you very much' which I guess is his take on 'thank you very much'.

I suppressed a giggle and went about my day.

i actually laughed out loud on that

After a satisfyng luncheon of quiche and some salad, I visited the on-site emporium and purchased a packet of 'summer fruits' Fru-tella, and a can of Fanta. I conversed with the proprieter:

Me: Hiya

Him: Hello

M, Glad it's Friday!?

H. Yes, but I will be here tomorrow

M. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. How much is that?

H. One pound twenty please

M. Thanks, have a good afternoon

H. Thanks, you too

A fucking pound twenty?!

Hospital shop mate. I couldnae be arsed to go outside properly

e_d - the Fruit Twist flavour. It tasted of chemicals and sugar, which was exactly what I was after.

 

[strung out]

A fucking pound twenty?!

i'm guessing 70p for the can of pop and 50p for the fruitella. the shop over the road charges similar, though i try not to patronise them too much.

it would be a massive commute

my first visit to mcdonalds happened at age 8. it was for a birthday party and we all had 'happy meals' etc.

which was fine.

the problem was that earlier in the day i'd been to another party and eaten shit loads of biscuits, ice cream, jelly, that kinda stuff. so i was feeling quite ill by the time i tucked into my burger.

by the time i got onto the fries the nausea was overwhelming so i ran into the gents and vomited all over the floor. sadly i couldn't make it to a cubicle in time...

so that was good, although not quite as good as when i went into a mcdonalds over the festive period and had a 'mc-christmas mcpudding'

Once, when I was small, I had a whole 1 pint UHT flavoured milk drink. It was a hot day. Got on the bus to journey home immediately afterwards, and after a 30 minute journey home we were almost at our stop when I said to my Nan (RIP) 'Nan, I'm going to be sick', then promptly threw up the pink liquid...only it had curdled so came out like a blacmange.

I went to a cafe for lunch. I ordered some food and paid. The lady asked if I wanted a drink with my meal. I said I didn't.

When I sat down to eat I realised I was actually a little thirsty. But the moment had passed.

Damn that all too brief drink buying window.

i've been sick over a doctor. i was very ill and she started poking one of those lolly stick things down my throat. i said 'if you keep doing that i'm going to throw up' but she didn't desist. so obviously i chundered.

outrageously, she was not best pleased.

it would be and I like supporting the local traders here they are suffering from competition of big supermarkets...there is a Tesco in town now and all the locals are getting up in arms over it.

hate it when that happens, i find myself in a rueful mood for *days*

 

[joustmaster]

won 10,000 what?

 

[Obnoxiousness]

Is it a fiver for those 2 items? Surely not.

I had some change... it cost £3.40 something... can't remember.

Oh yeah, Urb. You killed this:

How do you feel now, eh?

Really? I killed a bear? By asking for a beverage to be replaced because it was no longer cold?

Seriously?

 

[kyser_soze]

Yep. You killed a baby polar bear. You bastard.

 

[kabbes]

won 10,000 what?

Won 10,000 dongs apparently.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Yep. You killed a baby polar bear. You bastard.

Did he? What a complete tosser.

 

[Onket]

Did he? What a complete tosser.

I though it was fair enough, tbf.

 

[extra dry]

everyone's a winner baby that's ok...

 

[Obnoxiousness]

There's about 25,000 polar bears out there... and so you are telling me that it would only take 25,000 incidents of food wastage to wipe them out completely?

Surely in London alone, in a week, there would be food wastage on that scale.
