I went to SCB to exchange some pesos into Thai bhat this morning.
I've noticed that the ladies there like to practice their English.
I also noticed that it was very busy in their main branch today.
As my number was called I approached, waied and said nonchalantly, "How are you today ?" while taking a seat at her desk.
She quietly replied and I thought I had heard,
"Coffee, you holler now me fear blow."
Stunned
, I almost fell over myself and out of the chair.
As I'm a tad hard of hearing and she spoke so softly I leaned forward and eagerly stated, "Excuse me. Can you repeat that please ?"
She smiled and quietly repeated, "Coffee, you dollar-ee na three year low."
I was speechless.
She then proceeded to point to a 32.72 on her TT-xe printout.
I glumly replied looking over the desk at her printout, "Oh my...umm...ahh, shucks."
