Me: "You've charged me an extra 500shs here. The chicken sandwich* should only be 3,000shs." I point to the "menu" on the wall, for good measure.
Waitress: "Today...sandwich...3,500shs!!"
Me: "I've paid 3,000shs for this exact same sandwich for the past five days."
Long silence. The locals stare. Outside, the sound of metal on metal, as something crashes.
Waitress: "Yes, but the bread is an extra 500shs. Today I used...'good' bread. Tomorrow I may not."
Oh, really?! Haha.
*The sandwich is white bread (no crust) toasted and topped with a mixture of mayo, chicken, and some veggies. At first glance it looks unappealing, but it's actually quite tasty. Chicken is hard to find in small villages; most eat beef, pork, or lamb. And "muzunga" means "white" in African tribal language.
