Staub

 

I got cookware Staub at last. the size is ....4.25 qt. capacity. 1qt is almost 1L. 

As you know I'm living alone.

The reason why I bought such a huge pod is that

I will do make ahead dishes. Curry, pot-au-feu and so on.

It was a tough and terrible way for me to get this one.

In the case of Japan, when we want to get something browsing website,  just click several times and register your information, you would be able to get and receive it after a few days later. What you have to do is only to wait in home.

But we immigrator is not so.

On the next day clicked and registered my information,  

this web shop staff sent me an email which he want my call as soon as possible.

What he insists is....

The Staff [I called your credit card company to confirm whether your information is correct or not, but I couldn't confirm it. Because he cannot speak English. If you have another card I will try again. If no We cannot sell it. sorry.]

?

I have a lot of complaints which I cannot wait saying to say against him and Japanese company then. but I didn't say a kind of complaints at all. Because It seems that  I would not be able to enjoy this talk with him if I start to say complaints... 

Actually I wanted to say that...because the sale term just finishes this day.

If miss it the price backs $400 now $280.

I ran to the real store after talking him as it located near my condominium and negotiated them with this email and web registration .

Maybe it passed 1 hours,  but they were so helpful that they never give up to sell it to this Japanese who is not good at English. 

I appreciated them and America.

This country holds so many immigrator, so It would be very natural to have contact with people who cannot use English.  I think. 

This is America, I felt deeply it.

In addition at that time I'm about to pay money, I confirmed the price to them. 

They were gazing at the display,  I had a bad feeling.

They [Oh my gosh....]

Shoot!

They [cheep!]

huh? which?

this display was showing the price $199.

Is it Ok?

They [Why not?]

.....this is America.
