This took place over the weekend in one of the Burger King joints:
Pointed to the picture on the menu and ordered an ice cream cone - there is only one kind. Vanilla flavour. (For anyone interested, its only for 1 dirh.)
For a full 1 dirh I didnt expect anything more of course. Then the waitress asked me what flavour I wanted.
I looked at her and asked if I can actually choose the flavour. I was surprised.
Her reply was "no!".
Erhmmmm I mean why bother asking me what flavour I want when there is non to offer in the first place.

I wasnt expected that option to begin with anyway "Hope"-stirrer I called that or just plain ineptness !!

ineptness more likely...

she probably had a rough day dude

I think babydoll was a bit short because she couldn't access her booze

Thanks westside. You said the best. No it has nothing to do with the dry day. In fact it was NOT on a dry day. I think THE waitress didnt have enough booze (or something else) the night before !!

You think that was bad…

On an airplane, the cabin crew comes to me and asks me: “Chicken, Beef or fish?” I said beef, she goes sorry, we only have chicken left?!!!!

Mind you, I have heard this story at least 2 times with 2 other people.

I guess that is a sign you are flying economy !!! I had that happened to me once when I was traveling on a crappy airline

so which airline did you fly with?

that hurts ....

i actually never eat on an airplane, but that particular time, i happen to be bored....not hungery but bored.

Don't stress, it happened to me once on Qantas First Class.

It's like... rote learnt questions, they know when they ask the question they're out, they just can't stop themselves.

Asking in Burger King if you'd like to choose a flavour for something that can't be flavoured though.... that's just odd.

That's why I prefer the shawarma.

It is not about ONE event, its about the way people act and/or react. Which is interesting. Otherwise the world will be a boring place to live in.
Besides, this is what forum is all about, putting down your thoughts and sharing of opinions. If not, why are you on the forum?? and more importanly what keeps you coming back?!

Babydoll. Use your imagination!

can i use my imagination instead....ummm......just kidding

For you, you can and dont think Tania !!!!

One thing I have noted is that in a lot of shops the staff ask for 1 or 2 dhs so they can give you your change in notes.

A couple of time recently I have been asked for a 1 or 2 dhs on amounts like 39 as change for a 50 and been giving 11 dhs back (1 ten note and 1 dhiram coin, probably the same one)???

Somehow I think the practical meaning has been lost in communication down the line.

Jealousy is in human nature. Its a normal feeling. Jealousy in moderation is ok however in excess it can be dangerous.
Geeeezzz why am I talking about human, its Tania

hey.....Tania has feelings too you know

I'm sure. I'm sure.
And I sure DO NOT want her to "backfire"
I apologise to Tania

OH!! I HATE IT WHEN THEY ASK THIS! Its stupid. If I *had* 50 fils I would give it to you!! And they get upset and roll their eyes if you have something thats 20.50 and you give them a 50 note and have to give back change...

While we are in a grumpy mode, have you ever been to a semi nice restaurant and the waiter/waitress kept coming back to ask if you are ok, how's everything etc. And they seemed to come by at the right moment when you are either mouth full or slurping your spagetti. Yes, I do ocassionally slurp my pasta

Jabba u gotta b a bit careful .. mate.. thats the most common con act... u pay 50 + 1 in total and they give u back 10 + 1 that makes it simple.. they charged 40 instead of 39

Beware, LG might think you have nothing to do all day but worry about that 1 dirh they over charge you
