Whoops! I nutted some poor Grandma in the supermarket today! Why, oh why can't Chinese people learn to line up?
Clutching my single cucumber I watched the mass of humanity (I use that word in quite a broad sense) swarm around the weighing area. As is usually the case there was a single member of staff weighing the fruit and veg, and he wasn't too hot about it.
Now I have lived in China far too long to still have any vestiges of politeness in me, so I took a deep breath and charged in.
Don't judge me too harshly here, if you wait politely, you'll still be waiting as judgement day is called.
I did feel embarrassed when the old lady fell to the floor though.

Maybe next time I'll just wait.

I got my cucumber though..I guess that's the important thing!
