i’m not blaming this on you.
the example u posted:
“If you go to any coffee shop, will you ask if they serve coffee before ordering?”
i will ask him the specific coffee i want 1st if u are new to the place. Dun tell me you go to Hong Kong or Taiwan coffee shop to order ipoh white coffee or teh tarik,even in mamak, you won’t ask for a glass of ipoh white coffee right? Kl chinese herbal teas stores don’t sell the same teas as ipoh’s.
All in all,different place different culture and manners.

Adino: Fair enough. You’ve made your point.

I mean no offence. You should ask ” Uncle, do u sell Wong Lo Kat here?” not straight away ask “Uncle, give me one Wong Lo Kat with medicine powder”. There was a signboard there written in chinese right? With the signboard that state down the things he sold in his shop and u ask him a tin of Wong Lo Kat? Luckily, he didn’t said you “運吉”(Wan Kat)。 Besides that, in ipoh there are more chinese words in the street compare with KL so plz don’t blame him for misunderstanding u that u didn’t understand and read the board. He might be frustrated because of ur way of enquiry and maybe he thought you are banana.

Adino: You only need to click one time (in case you don’t know how web forms work)

Adino: OMG!

Now you are blaming this on ME?

First of all, saying no offense doesn’t give you a license to say whatever offensive things you want.

Second of all, you were not there, so don’t make it as though I was being rude to him.

If you go to any coffee shop, will you ask if they serve coffee before ordering?

The issue is, the man was being extremely rude. I don’t care what language you speak or where you come from, being rude is being rude.

You are being so high and mighty looking down on me for not being able to read Chinese.

But if something like this happened to you, then you will enjoy it? Will you say that it is a misunderstanding? I doubt it.

Which shop in Ipoh is this? Maybe I can try going there and provoking him again the next time I am there

Adino: I don’t know the name of the shop la. Next time I’m in Ipoh I go and take some photos… it’s somewhere in “gai cheong” near Maybank there.

Well, if he goes and open shop in KL, I think it closes down within 3 days

Adino: Most likely nobody will even notice there’s a new shop. What? Another one? Meh.

Eh? My previous comment kena telan liao? I was saying, perhaps he drank too much fu char that morning that he became so grouchy. Or he lost a bit of money during new year gambling – to KLites. LOL!

Adino: Maybe Akismet was too hungry

Aiyo… what ever his reason, he shouldn’t make me a victim. I’m a customer

Hmm… I would have done the same as you! I guess we are just too nice. Haha.

Adino: Sometimes being nice means we get stomped on a lot

There are nicer people out there, so just leave him alone and go somewhere else.

Adino: If he continues like that he’s going to be all alone.

I’m surprised you actually stayed on. I would have told him off (“Uncle, with your sort of attitude, I’m surprised you still have customers”), and then walked out of the shop.

But then again, I’m never one to mince my words

Adino: I wish I was as brave as you
