Every race, religion and sex today has a stereotype associated with it. The one I’ll be talking about today is the one about Asians good at math. Wow, they seriously can’t be farther from the truth on that one. Here is my story: I went shopping yesterday to pick up some new shorts and shirts. Picked out about 4 shirts and went to pay for them. She told me the price of each shirt before she rang them up and the total price came to $1460NT($47USD). So I gave her $1560NT and expected to get $100NT back. To my shock she gave me $400NT back instead of $100NT. You do the math, I saved $300NT right there. Of course I didn’t say anything, took my clothes and money and left. Would you have done the same? I’m sure you would. This has happened 3 times to me while in Taiwan, and I didn’t say anything ever…and never will! So there you go, my proof that stereotypes are all a bunch of bullshit!

that is disgusting. not as if that would be a lot of money, but you probably do not realize, that the guy/girl at the cash has to pay the missing sum for you and if this kind of thing happens just with ten customers of 200 a day, she/he gonna get no money left for the whole month of hard work sitting there. if you do not badly need that 47 usd, then u just robbing someone who is not suspicious. to hell your soul goes. and you even proudly tell about it? jackass.

Thanks for commenting on a post over 2 years old. If you read it correctly, the total was 47US. I did not gain that much back. 300NT is about $9US, plus she was the shop owner so I doubt she has to make up the missing sum. Maybe she thought I was cute and gave me a discount.
