    Sometimes this place exasperates me.
    My favorite part is how the cashier at a Mannings/Watsons/similar in the hinterlands (outside the "cosmopolitan" bits of HK) will often ignore spoken instructions to give you a bag, ring up your purchases, offer you some sort of bulky "free gift"/"special offer" crap while doing so (never thinking that you might need a bag to carry any of this stuff away), and then pull an attitude when you remind them that you need a bag and they have to add the cost of a bag onto the transaction and actually bag your stuff.

    I always bring my own bag when I buy hairbands.

    Ah Mat, your post have just reminded me how bad by e-mails from the iPad can be.

    *Ag and Wr - granted doesn't beat my e-mail to the wife saying "It will be Venice when it's finished" to which she replied you're taking me to Venice

    On a serious note I have found random shopping patterns in HK. Watsons/Mannings were giving away ketchup with some body wash but it took me a few weeks to find some vaseline (for running before any Brits jump on that comment).

    You don't have to imagine. You can simply go to the FCC and watch him do it.

    FCC? Me? Not a journalist and don't patronize the FCC.

    Not overweight, either, though C83 can continue to entertain whatever bizarre fantasies he's spun up to assist him in his self-abuse.
