Next Time You Buy Anything In A Shop.....
...spare a thought for everybody shopping in South America. They have the most frustrating shopping system. Let me explain so that you can feel our pain....
Using the toothpaste I bought yesterday as an example, however, this is not limited to toothpaste, it applies to all types of shops and all different items, e.g. headphones, pants, food, books....everything.
You need to by some toothpaste, so you find the counter in the shop where the Colgate is displayed. You queue in line awaiting your turn to get to the shop assistant who 'controls' the toothpaste section. Its your turn now, so you ask for some toothpaste "Me gustaria colgate por favour". Said assistant gets the toothpaste and gives it to you to hold for 2 seconds and asks if you really want it. You do, so you reply "Si, Quiero". You get out the money to pay,...... but WAIT , the assistant grabs the tube of colgate back off you and hands you a ticket, pointing towards another long queue of people at a seperate cash desk counter.
You and your ticket now have to queue to pay. 5 minutes later, its your turn, you hand over your 4 soles, and she hands you a printed reciept. BUT WHERE IS MY FRIGGIN TOOTHPASTE!! She points you to ANOTHER queue where a woman awaits behind a bullet proof sheild, appartently guarding your toothpaste from armed robbers. But its OK I can now see the colgate, it's on a shelf behind her. 5 minutes later and its your turn, you hand over your printed reciept, which she inspects like it is your passport, she looks you up and down, you nervously smile as you do at immigration control. She finally hands you your GOD DAM toothpaste.
With all the relief in the world that the trauma is over you step out of the shop to get harrased by a old lady selling llama products, she smiles at you revealing her one remaining tooth. It all now makes sense why they have no teeth, its not that they can't afford toothpaste its just that they can't be FRIKKIN ARSED!!!!
Anyway, glad to get it off my chest. So next time you are in Boots rushed on your lunch break, stood queuing behind a dithering fool paying by cheque for deoderant think of us overhere, smile, laugh to yourself and love the country you live in, because in England atleast you only have to queue ONCE!
