This is a receipt from a PARIS BAGUETTE (파리바게뜨, a major chain bakery in Korea) in my neighborhood, who very often misses giving customers receipt on purpose. Things like this happen quite often in Korea ( like in Taiwan ), and as Korean people seem at ease, a foreigner like me should be cool with it, right? Not quite. Once I found out that this bakery charged us more ( it was KC who paid that time, had it been me, I'd have noticed on the spot! ) but without a receipt we had no way to claim our money back. Since then, I made up my mind to act against such tax avoiding behavior.
2 days ago I bought 2 breads there, 1100 + 1300 = 2400, with my T membership card's 10% discount, the subtotal went to 2160. So I intentionally paid them 5210. As I expected (haha!), the cashier was struck numb for a sec. Unable to do mental math, he started pressing number keys on the cash register, which showed that they should give me back 3050, on the receipt. It was a small thing, but a glorious one(grin).
不管你覺得我無不無聊,我確實能從這種小事上得到正義的快感。
我住的社區的 PARIS BAGUETTE ( 파리바게뜨, 韓國的大眾連鎖麵包店),常常不打發票。韓國逃漏稅的不少,他們自己人都無所謂,我這外國人去跟人家假正義什麼。不過,這家有次多收了我錢,因為購買時沒打發票給我,我當然無法回去理論。從此,老娘就跟它槓上惹!!!
前天我去買了兩個麵包,1100+1300=2400,因為我有 T membership card,9折後是2160元。我拿了5210給他,老闆臨時腦袋轉不過來無法心算,所以只好打了發票,找我3050元。爽!

ReplyDeleteIt just came to my mind... Isn't "Korea Fantastic" the slogan from Korean Travel Bureau? I think I saw it somewhere on TV when they advertised Korea to US population~~
ReplyDeletei dun think so. so far as i know, their official slogans are "korea, sparkling" (which is pretty funny) and "seoul, soul of asia"
