Jiajia and I took JD to our nearest Walmart supermarket the other day, Jiajia to look for groceries and baby products, me to look for Chinglish. I managed to find some "chafing sausages" and a pack of "low-temperature wisdom" before a snotty little shop assistant tapped me on the shoulder and said in Chinese, "You can't take photos here!" I was my usual polite, smiley and slightly stroppy self, "Why not?"
"It's forbidden" she replied.
"Why?"
"Because it's against the rules."
"What rules. Show me the rules."
"The rules say you must not take photos."
"Then show me the rules. I don't believe you"
"Urgh, foreigners!" ...and off she strutted, somewhat defeated I feel!
