I’ve come to expect this type of sales tactic from the cart-pushing dim sum ladies at a certain Chinese restaurant in town, and was surprised to encounter it at a California supermarket, too.
I’d asked one of the Vietnamese ladies stationed at the bulk-foods area (with candies, meat jerkies, dried cuttlefish, etc.) for just a handful of these candies. She filled a small bag. I asked for even less. She removed a few. “Take out more, it’s only for me,” I informed her. She tutted and I ended up with these 10 pieces of Peanut Nougat Candy.
