| To be honest I generally like the Korean old folks, at least around here. When I buy chicken or duck from the old woman downtown she always asks about the kids and tosses in some extra wings or whatnot. If I buy fruit, it's smiles and extra fruit. And the parking spot attendants are mostly fine, courteous people, and more convenient than a parking meter. I generally prefer to give them my business where reasonably possible, even when doing so requires forgoing the strict maximization of my economic benefit. My wife grumbles sometimes when I buy fruit downtown from the old folks intead of at E-Mart, because it's a bit more expensive and sometimes a little lower in quality as well, but come on, those people need the business far more than E-Mart does. |
I defininatley agree with that. Im not the greatest at mathematics, but Im pretty sure they must be scraping though with the money they make everyday. They need the business a lot more than the corporates.
Anyway, when Im buying fruit and vegetables from the street vendors, I just want a quick transaction - pay and go. Its always a bonus when theyre nice or throw in extra stuff.
Still, Id be more of a miserable punt than they are if Id worked my arse off my whole life, deserted by your family obviously, and was reduced to selling a bag of leaves on the street for chonwon (or blowing adjoshis in the park) when I was 89 years old. |
