Independent From This Holiday
(I’m waiting in line behind an American customer who is exchanging idle chit-chat with the worker processing the transaction.)
Customer: “Do you know what tomorrow is?”
Worker: “Erm…” *looking at her till* “The fourth.”
Customer: “No! Independence Day!
Worker: “Oh, yeah.” *continues with transaction*
Customer: “Why don’t you have any banners or sales on? In America, we go crazy for it! Show some pride!”
Worker: “We don’t celebrate Independence Day here.”
Customer: *gasps* “Why not?!”
Worker: “…because we were the enemy?”
