Am I the only one who likes fries with mayonnaise (I hate ketchup)…it really causes heartache in McDonalds espcially since I only go there when I am hyperglaucaemic (sp???) and there is nothing decent to eat on the street.
This is the discourse:
“I like mayonnaise on my fries, can I have some?”
Girl freaks out and gets another assistant.
“Yes?”
“Can I have some mayonniase on my fries”
You want this? (Shows me sweet and sour sauce)
“No- mayonnaise please” Getting dizzy and weak.
Another giggling assistant arrives
so…I point to a picture of a chicken burger and say, “what’s this?” pointing to mayonnaise the bun.
“You want lettuce?”
I now start pointing to the equipment at the back of the shop and the mayonnaise dispenser (learn what it looks like fellow fans: yellow and grey). Sliding down front counter.
Manager arrives (the only one thinking in the entire reastaurant)…“ahh, you want mayonnaise.”
“Yes Sir.” Revived with the sugar from the Sprite “now what was that you were saying about culture shock?”
Everytime I go to Starbucks and I order coffee of the day they have to make a new pot. I kow all the other coffees are made individually but the coffee of the day is made it a stainless square pot. I think I am the only person in Taipei that orders coffee of the day. It also take slonger to make that pot then to make a latte or whatever.

You’re in a mall, or some other crowded place, doing your thing, when you see a family nearby. One of them sees you, says something to the others, and you have the whole lot looking at you.
