no charge or no charge?
so we were at the cashiers counter near the toy department in jusco pyramid, and by we i mean me and the better half. anyway, she got in line to pay for my boxers stuff, whilst i went around looking at board games that they sold. i was especially interested in the risk board game that was on sale as it brought back many memories of arvind, kevin, lionel and i playing till the wee hours of the morning.
as i was examining the board game from afar (yes i only look at things from a minimum of 3 feet away = 900mm = 1 yard), my ears were drawn to a conversation that was taking place between one of the salesperson of the store and a middle eastern family. it was a father, mother and daughter i believe. anyway, the daughter was eye-ing a toy bicycle with a girl cycling it. i only remember it very vaguely but i believe this was how the conversation went.. and i think it was something to do with batteries
this come with batteries? the middle eastern chap said (an image of him is forever etched in my mind because i can clearly see his THICK mustache as i type this)
no no this no batteries.. but i offer you this…. (picks up a pack of rechargeable batteries and hands it to mustache man)
this has charge??? (pointing at the batteries)
no no this one no charge.. you have to go home and charge….
i want batteries… no charge…
ohh no charge? then you use this batteries (hands him a pack of energizer batteries instead)
i spent a few minutes eaves dropping on their conversation before she was done with the payment.
charge? no charge? and that donned on the sales person was that he was referring to rechargeable batteries or non-rechargeable batteries..
DUMB ASS..

The sales should have just said, “Sorry, batteries not included”
