A few years ago, my parents took their companies’ employees on an appreciation trip to Korea. The trip turned out to be a blast, and everyone was having fun shopping and sightseeing. They hired a Taiwanese-Korean tour guide, and he did his best to get everyone various discounts and even turned every meal into all-you-can-eat.
During their last day of the trip, the tour guide took them to a local specialty/ gift shop. It was a shop that sells all kinds of local food products, and everyone, all 50 of them, was carrying those plastic shopping baskets or even huge paper boxes to shop as if it was an out-of-business sale. My parents, been through at least 5 stores like this one during the previous days of the tour, decided that they weren’t planning to buy anything so they didn’t have a basket with them. They were however open to the idea that this shop might have some products that could potentially intrigue them, so they walked around and tried out the different food samples placed beside each sections.
A store clerk, probably noticed the absence of a basket in my parents’ hands and thought they were just cruising around getting free food, walked up and asked “Excuse me, please stop sampling our products now.”
