Doughnuts
How many pieces would you like to have, sir?
Do you have any promotion at the moment?
Now we have a special promotion, buy 1 get 1 free. It is only for today.
Can I have 2 pieces of blackforest? - Ok.
2 pieces of choco banana - Ok.
Mommy...
I am on my way back to office. There are so many people here.
I have been queueing since even before 3 pm and I have just got them.
I've got only 20 pieces. I think the stock is running low.
So they only allow us to buy 10 pieces per person.
20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160.
Hey, Jack.. - It's you, P' Pock
Hey, hi. What's up? What are you doing here? (Cultural note: P' is placed in front of the name of someone who is older than you.)
I am queueing up to buy some doughnuts. And what are you doing here?
I brought my family here for lunch. - Ah ok..
Are doughnuts here that tasty?
I have never tried them before. Now I am thinking of trying some.
Awesome, can you help me buy them too?
How many pieces? - How many pieces? Why did you ask?
(Fake phone call) Hello, hey, we can only buy 10 pieces each.
If I want to buy more than that, then I have to rejoin the queue.
Ok, we'll talk later.
How many pieces are you buying? - 4 pieces.
4 pieces? That's great, can you help me buy 2?
Give me your money first.
Lucky me, we are still within the quota. And I don't have to trouble myself queueing up.
Don't talk so much, be quiet maybe. - Heh just a little bit.
This is disgusting. - I think it is alright, don't mind them.
We have a promotion today - buy 1 get 1 free, valid until 4 pm. 1 person can only buy 10 pieces.
Next customer, please.
Daddy, what are you doing?
My dear Pop Pap.. Daddy is buying some doughnuts for you..
Yeah... Pop Pap loves eating doughnuts very much. (Cultural note: It is acceptable for ladies or children to use their name to call themselves.)
My dear Pop Pap, of course I knew that.
Daddy.. - Poppy...
I would also like to have some doughnuts too.
Oh Poppy wants them too? Yeah, sure.. I will get them for you to share.
Daddy, I want to have 10 pieces.
I want to have 10 pieces too.
Err 10 pieces? I am not buying that many. You both share, ok? Brother and sister love each other..
No I am not sharing. - Neither am I.
I want to eat 10 pieces. - I also want to eat 10 pieces.
I am not sharing with him. - I am not sharing with her either.
Poppy wants 10 pieces. - Pop Pap wants 10 pieces.
I am not going to share with you.
Oh dear.. Pop Pap.. Please don't cry.. Don't cry, baby.. I buy them for you ok?
Hey Jack, you can buy 10 pieces, right? Please help me buy 4 more.
Yeah!
Excuse me, there is a queue here.
I have asked my friend to help me buy. Why is it wrong?
Asking other people to buy for you is just like cutting queue.
Cutting queue? Like how?
Each person is entitled to buy 10 pieces. My friend is buying less than that quantity.
So I utilize his quota. Why is this called cutting queue?
There are limited quantity. It is like you misappropriate our right.
Right? Here is the right - 1 person can buy 10 pieces.
So I merely asked him to buy according to his entitlement - 10 pieces. Why is it wrong?
The fact is your friend is buying less than the quota. He is buying only 4 pieces.
And I heard when you two were talking. Where were you just now, that you suddenly appeared and requested 6 pieces more.
By doing so, you are taking advantage of those people in the queue.
This is not a good example to children, do you know that?
Daddy..
I need to go wee-wee.
Oh you need to go wee-wee? I will take you to the toilet ok? Just awhile ok?
Bro, imagine this. If I were to call my friend earlier on to help me buy, he would still buy 10 pieces, right?
It's because you didn't do it.
Fine.
This is awesome (sarcastic).
Hello..
Jack? Can you help me buy 6 pieces of doughnut?
Err.. Sure..
Huh what? -Yes, sure.
Are you satisfied now?
The point is not whether you called your friend. It is just that you came after us, so you have to queue up.
You called your friend for help, or you walked here and asked him verbally, both are considered cutting queue.
If you don't believe me, come over here.
If you are in a queue, and I ask this girl to help me buy, how would you feel?
Pop Pap wee-wee now..
Pop Pap, oh my baby.. Relax, ok?
Jack, return me my money. You just buy 10 pieces and I will buy them from you.
We will talk about how much extra you want to charge later. I am taking my boy to the toilet.
Huh, you doing this is disturbing the system!
You also, how can you let him do this? It is not just you who are at a loss. Others too.
If you were me, what would you do? Would you trade my position?
Imagine this, you were in a queue. And this fella, your friend, asked you to buy some doughnuts. What would you do?
I would ask him to go join the queue, otherwise it would be ugly.
Wow, really? Were you really gonna say that? Wouldn't you be afraid that your friend would bad-mouth you?
It's just doughnut, and that would be so big a deal? You really wouldn't help him?
I... I... I could bluff him that I was going to buy 10 pieces - already fully utilized my quota.
If I had a time to consider this option, I would have told him that long ago, so that I wouldn't be put in a difficult situation, like now.
I really don't know.. I really don't..
Sir, how many pieces would you like to have? - 10 pieces, please.
Please make a payment this way. - Sure.
Madam, how many pieces would you like to have? - 10 pieces, please.
Here is for you, 6 pieces. Buy 6 get 6 free, total is 12 pieces.
Babies, let's share ok?
I will have 2 pieces more, right? - Right. Here we go.
Ok. This sure looks tasty.
It seems everyone is getting their share, right? What's the point of making so much noise.
Sir, how many pieces, please? - 10 pieces, please.
I am sorry, we are out of stock.
Pop Pap, is it tasty? How about you, Poppy? - Yes, it is tasty.
Eat more ok?
Don't be upset my girl, we were just too slow by 1 queue. I will bring you here tomorrow, ok?
