It's simply funny how things are just different in other countries. Not only do I have to bag my groceries at the supermarket (poor little me) but I also have to drink juice out of a carton at a restaurant instead of real fruit juice. This came as a complete shock when I ordered cold lemonade at a pub several weeks ago.
Me: I'll have a glass of cold lemonade, please.
Bartender: Ok.
(A glass of sparkling water arrives)
Me: Excuse me, I ordered lemonade.
Bartender: That's what I got you.
Me: No, this looks like sparkling water.
Bartender: (Looking at me funny) It is lemonade. Taste it.
(Shock -- fake lemonade out of a bottle)
Me: (Still in shock) It is lemonade.
(Bartender giggles and walks away. Not funny, dude.)
Oh, the things you take for granted...
