All for a little bit of Ace

Scenerio:

• The small wholesale market has your $162 for a year's supply of laundry detergent that they say they have in the backroom.  
• You patiently wait for more than an hour for them to bring it from a neighboring vendor (surprise!) before they refuse to give you a refund 
• They tell you for the 15th time that it is in transit and will be "just one more little minute." 
• You tell them you really have to leave and they need to go get it themselves - instead of sitting there staring at you.  
• Time is up and the kids finish camp in 8 minutes - 10 minutes away.  

What does one do???

Solution:

• Start filling your car with product from the store that equals the promised goods, even if it is in smaller quanity bags while the shopkeeper is waving their arms insisting that you just can't do that.  

Yep, they finally got the point and the Tide equivalent miraculously appears in the arms of the shopkeeper who went to get it themselves while you were ransacking their store. Should have been done 30 minutes sooner.

Man, oh man, you sure do have to have a good sense of humor to survive living in a third world country!
