Oｈ !　My God Story NO.４０ 　


I will never go to the supermarket next door.  (part- ２)
　　　
As I showed my receipt to two employees, I said,
"I only bought three items."
I only bought bread, soy milk and bananas.
But there are four items on a receipt.
Why ?

Then the employee showed me a receipt and told me,
"You bought four items,
bread, soy milk, one banana and another banana."

I got angry.
Why do you count a bunch of banana as two bananas?
It says on the receipt that a toilet paper is two dollars.
I said, "no."

But I couldn't say anything else in English.
Everyone says that you can't make a claim or fight

unless you have lived　in America more than three years.
You will lose if you can't speak English well.

I have been here only for one year.
So I can't make a claim.
Bad English is not powerful.

So I gave up and went back to my apartment.
Then I thought about my next revenge.

To be continued ...
