Watermelon
is a good (healthy) dessert, but it is so expensive here that I don’t often buy it. I saw this slice at Haruki for 298 yen and
put it in my basket. When the clerk was
ringing up my purchases, I thought I saw 498, so I asked “kore wa ikura desu
ka?” and the clerk said “298 en”, so I thought I was mistaken about what rang
up. When I looked at my receipt, it said mikan 498, instead of suika 298. I showed it to the clerk and she corrected
the mistake and gave me money back. I was
pleased that I was able to use my limited language skills to buy my watermelon.
GOOD SHOW, Pamela! I am sure the pricing was a genuine mistake by the shop, but you managed to have it corrected. It is not only your healthy living that is improving month by month, your Japanese is as well. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteGood job on your food choices and language skills! Also, make sure you stretch! I used to do marathons and 1/2 marathons, but neglected my stretching afterwards. Now I am paying for it...Stretch!
