Being stretched in the Netherlands

✍️ The story of the experience was stretched in the Netherlands in a supermarket.

The other day, Jane went shopping. In the super, saw some goods going on. On Bonus took the basket confidently and thought he was going home for good.

But when you charge... the price on the screen is full.

So I smiled at the cashier and politely asked in English:

"Excuse me, this item is on bonus, right?

The cashier is a human aunt. Answer in Duszt, do you have a bonus card?

We said, My boyfriend has it. I can tell you his phone Numbers (Jane understands that the system is the same as Thailand, but here we can ask for a bonus card without providing any information).

The cashier was a human aunt. He looked at us.

And took her own card and scanned it, which we're really grateful for.

But the next word...

Is something that stabs in unexpectedly

"Next time, you should learn Dutch."

We only smiled bland and replied, "Thank you."

There are many mixed feelings in my heart, sorry, confused and a little hurt, because what I'm asking is not more than anything.

We, I walked out of the store with a few euros off...

But "more expensive lessons" stuck back, too.
