Chinese Take Out ....

So get this, I ordered chinese food for supper. So far so good. They even delivered in 15 minutes instead of the usual ... well whenever ! I ordered a soup / noodles & Vegies. Plus 3 peannut butter dumplings. What I got was a 1/3 of a litre of clear soup in a pot, 1/3 of vegie & crappy noodles in another pot AND 3 POTS of peanut butter dumplings.

What I did't realise when I ordered was that when asking for 3 to 4 dumplings to dude taking the order was that he understood 3 to 4 packs OF 8 DUMPLINGS... Hence a 10$ order became a 20$ order #$?$#?%#$?#$?#%$ !!!!!

The delivery guy showed up with no name nor appartment number. He managed to get me to buzz him in god knows how and after roaming the building hallways for a few minutes I went out to meet him half way. As I suspected he was confused and looking rather lost in our two story appartment building...

"good thing you had my name so I could buzz you in said I"
"Not have your name" said he
"heeeee, how ? sigh, forget it. How much ?"
"21$"
"WWWHHHAAATTT !!!???? Please show me the bill"

(The bill was, obviously written in chinese of something, only the numbers were reconisable. I had to ask him to translate... Now I'm I the only one who thinks it's just dumb and stupid to write down financial records of purchase in a language no one but the employes and maayyybe a few lucky chinese customers actually understand !?
WTF !!!)

"yes yes, see u ask 3 dumplings, 4 dollars each + soup & noodles"
"actually no I don't see, SEE. Give me a minute I need to get you more money as this is much more than I had ordered"


Now when I innitialy ordered I had 15$ on me. Figured 10 $ for the meal plus tip would cover it. Suffice to say my coffee and laundry change for the week is no more. 22 $ even I gave him and when he asked me for the tip money I simply told him that they had screwed up my order and that was all I had on me at the time. He had the nerves to give me the evil eye (exacly as seen T.V I swear) with a side order of waking off pissed. To bad, get my order right next time !!!!


So now I got spicy peanut butter dumplings for the masses.


Oh and F.Y.I , could't even finish my noodles and I don't feel so well right now... Cursed meal perhaps ?
