hi all,

actually i had forgetten about the downturn of economy in usa where businessowner will try their best to earn as much money and cash from customer where i had been one of their easy customer.

i became dissapointed. there are too many fineprints in USA.

even in subway sandwich restruant, where there is a $3 breakfast combo which inculde a 6inch sandwich, coffee, yogurt/fruit. but when i went to the counter and told that guy that i wanted the $3 breakfast combo, he would ask me if i want a 6inch or 12inch bread.

i ordered 6inch bread.

the second day that guy ask me the same question again and i ordered the 12inch bread. ended up the bill was $9. you could say that it is my fault by not asking if there would be extra charge for 12inch bread but all they could do is to give me what ever is included in the $3 breakfast combo. by asking if i want a 6 or 12 inch bread and charged extra is very misleading.

the second incident was i wanted to buy a tree measuring equipment from a trade show in RI, i went to the kiosk and the salesman quoted me $400.

then the company had some luckydraw and i got a 50% discount voucher. i asked the boss how much was that equipment, where he knew i had the 50% voucher, he quoted me $800 before discount.

i am just dissappointed with this 2 incident.

not to mention that Houston Motorcycle Exchange and that guy that charged me $95/hr for the valve seat job that screwed up everything.

but there are still many many many nice people in USA that i had met other than these clever businessman. i am just not careful and trust people too easily.

goh
