Day 269 of 364 - Sat 4/28: Gimmicks

Word of the day:  Reclame  (Advertise)

Today we went to the grocery store to stock up and as expected when you check out the cashier speaks in Dutch and usually asks, "wilt u de ontvangst?" which closely translates to "would you like your receipt?" So I typically just say yes to avoid any further exchange of words to avoid confusion.

Well today there was any additional question thrown in there so I just said yes. With our receipt we also got a few small packages, which I assumed were samples. Nope.. just small little boxes. No samples to try :(  

Guess you give these to the kids to play with?!?  And for the next few weeks each time they asked I just politely said "no thanks."
