I passed by an ethnic grocery store on my way home from work today. I try to come here once a week. They have great fruits and vegetables at good prices. They also have a deli section with a huge assortment of cold cuts and cheeses and other dips and sauces, their fresh meat is very good, although the selection is limited. And they also have a bakery/pastry section that is always crowded.
A while back I discovered some sweet buns that they have at their bakery section … they are so good. They are pre-packed and sitting on the counter of the bakery, so there’s no need to wait for your number to be called. I was hoping to pick up a bag of these buns today, but there weren’t any left. The only thing resembling my sweet buns was one lonely bag of donut-like buns. It was the only bag, and it only had three donuts in it. The label on the bag read Kaak au Lait – I loosely translated this to mean ‘cake made with milk’.
There was no price on my bag of Kaak, so I headed to the price check thingy, but my kaak wouldn’t scan. No problem, I was sure it would be reasonably priced.
So I’m too busy bagging my own groceries to see what the kaaks ring up at, but here’s what I found on my receipt once I got home …
Notice the ’12UN’ written on the bill. Does it look like I bought 12 units of Kaak?
I payed 4 times more for my kaak. I feel ripped off.
Too bad I’ve eaten them all in the time it took me to write this post, otherwise I would surely have gone right back to the store to get my refund!
