My Not-So-Expensive Burger..

Today I went out for lunch at one of the few "somewhat classy" burger-joints in Kuwait which I will not expose the name of as a sign of respect for its owner (tara it was Burger Hub) and after we had finished with our pretty average meal we asked for the bill..

When it comes, I take out my K-net and hand it over to the woman and she swipes it into the machine and hands it over for me to punch in my code. And I do so.

FAILED...

"Try again ma'am"

And I do...FAILED AGAIN!

So she tears out the failed receipt and hands it to me then smiles "sorry ma'am it seems your card doesn't have money" ..

I look at the receipt min9adma.... where did all my money go?

And I take a closer look at the receipt and almost have a heart attack.


Yes, 7sabna for 2 burgers and a couple of appetizers was 55,005.292 KD..I mean if the economy wasn't in such a crisis this would be acceptable bes ya3ni COME ON, we're in a recession!

ps: I had the 55,000 ib e7sabi bes kan nagi9ni 292 fils 3ashan chithee my card got declined.
