Picture of the Week: Exact Change

What is this sign? No, really. WHAT is THIS....SIGN!!!??

Why is she wearing sunglasses on that hat!!!?
Do I need to tell you what it is? It's a sign of what you can expect from the Philippines. 

Does SM really need to post a sign at the cash register telling customers they will be provided exact change? That should be a given! Not an extra. Everyone should expect exact change when they make a purchase. 

It's so hilarious how when you give any cashier at any store any amount of money they will say, "I receive xyz pesos." Hilariously pathetic.

It's all about the culture of distrust that is prevalent throughout the Philippines. Sad but true. It's hard to trust anyone here so these kinds of measures are taken to reassure folks.

  1. Damn, so much for that God fearing, devout nation of good Catholics my Filipino pal here in the USA claims the PH is full of! That's pretty shifty you can't even expect a store cashier to give you exact change every time. I've been reading this blog since the other one went offline and I really feel bad you have to live and breathe side by side with people like that every direction you go
