Last weekend was our first real weekend here, and after two hard days/nights out on thursday and friday, we did just about nothing on saturday, except for the mandatory WellClub-visit and a trip to Carrefour, the supermarket from hell....
I just don't get what the thing is with cashiers here, because they are extremely slow, for no obvious reason... So you normally spend 40 minutes finding the groceries you need for a weeks time, and then you spend almost 30 minutes trying to pay for them. The 30-minute rule is valid no matter how many people that's in line in front of you. (Or you might just stay there for longer). However we were standing there in patience, excited as always for the servicio al domicilio (we're quite easy to please), however, as we were to pay, the cashier refused to accept one of the 100 peso-bills Marianne got from an ATM earlier that day, so the thing Time Out mentions about a lot of false bills are true, even if you get the money from an ATM...
We got the groceries at last, and when we got home we waited for them to be delivered. It normally take about one hour, which was cool since we were to meet a group from the University of Oslo for dinner, however the groceries never came..... we waited for one hour, two hours, and nothing... The time was running, we were running late, but waited in anticipation. What we didn't know was that if you buy groceries after 6 p.m. they'll be delivered the next day. That, of course, took us almost three hous to find out, however we got to the resteaurant at last, the people weren't there, however we ate our first real argentinian beef, and it was fantastic! Nothing's like a happy ending =)
