So, I've gotten to know quite a few of you at this point, and I know where a good few of you work from. Luckily I've been able to meet up with a few people for lunches and all. Every time I'm glad I met the person.
So, in order to continue building this network, I propose we map out where ever...
Guys, as a westerner, if your server at Mcdonald purposefully poured in normal Coke instead of Diet coke as you ordered. Do you think you can notice it and make a complain?
I'm working at TGIF just for fun, and no Korean person have made a complain about giving them normal coke instead of Diet coke so far. Nobody can notice it. I guess I shouldn't do it if I get a job in Australia or somewhere
essentially most people want coke/pepsi and at busy times the people serving get on autopilot (at least I used to) so if you point it out then that's probably helpful
@EnglishMaster o i c. so you're doing it on purpose?
Also there are 2 types of Sprites in Korea, one is called Cider (Korean brand) and Sprite (Coca Cola brand). So when they order Sprite, I give them Cider

Some of you here could perhaps participate in answering, seems to me the OP has problems dealing with the present perfect in English... @RegDwigнt @BarrieEngland and others....

If this answer gets to 40 upvotes, I will get my "Oh the Horror" hat.
Please help, especially if you're one of those to have received the hat from me on the club question.
@Ste - I am not sure about the light bulb hat. I heard it was manually awarded, but who knows. I think I got it on meta on the first day I post this answer: meta.stackoverflow.com/a/212746/178816.
@tchrist: Have you actually counted your Populists? Because they are ever-so-easy to lose. So you could well find yourself in a situation where you won't get it for this answer here because someone elsewhere finally gave in to the pressure and accepted your answer there.
@KitFox They don't. But every time before awarding a new one, they do the math and see if they should. They do it for other badges, too. Always has been that way.
Okay. Something seriously weird is getting on. This morning I received a second silent downvote on the comma-splice answer. They trickle in at a rate of one per week. What gives? scratches head

"@EnglishMaster Complaining aside, why would you do that?" by Mitch It's just a little secret fun for me at work. In addition, I like to choose salad dressing randomly for customers. They usually don't know they have choices
@RegDwigнt I heard a story about someone who showed up at the emergency room with extremely high sodium levels in the blood, causing all sorts of palpitations and blood pressure problems. Full history, noting was remarkable at all. Except oh by the way she drinks all the juice from old pickle jars.
There are two different sizes of forks in the restaurnt, one is for children (small ones) and big one is for adults. Last time customer asked me to get them a children fork but I told them "sorry, all of them are in dish washer, you should just use this big fork"
