The one I go to is in Markham. Maybe that specific location has good ones.
Pacific = Pacific Mall?
If so, and as crazy as this sounds, I've yet to find a place there that sells dim sum. lol

Happened to me. $0.95 rounded to $1.00
Upstairs, the big restaurant across the arcade offers dim sum. Uhh, I think it's during the morning/lunch. I think dinner, its back to a regular restaurant.
By the rear parking lot, next to Curry's, there's Ginger & Onion; inside Market its Miu Garden. I haven't gone to the latter, but Ginger & Onion is ok. Then again, Chinese food pretty much tastes the same regardless of where you go.
My store is still giving out and accepting pennies. The excuse we're told to give to customers is our system hasn't adjusted yet, which could actually be part of the reason, but apparently, it's (also) because we still have tons of pennies.
Thanks. I guess I haven't explored the area as much as I thought.
And you're right about the food. They all taste about the same, with little difference, in the end.
Yeah I had some of their stuff today. Chive pancakes (tastes like parathas...very tasty), pork dumplings, and the best were these little pork/vegetable balls which were delicious and savory. Probably the tastiest Chinese food I've tried to date. My one complaint would be that it was pretty greasy.
You missed Egg Tarts. Not the best, but close.
I actually saw them. I already felt gilty buying coconut bread, so I figured I'd pass on the egg tarts until next time.
The 3DS store, worst case?
My coffee this morning cost $2.42 after taxes. I gave $2.45 and was told I wouldn't get the pennies back, and I told the guy it was fine. Not that it really matters, but I was supposed to get a nickel back, no?
Yep. Damn companies.
That rascal. I'm going to head over there now and give him what-for!
Lots of people who work in retail can't do simple math to save their life. I've had totals like $7.32 and I've given the cashier $10.07 and had them give me a weird look and not know why I gave them the 7 cents. That's the problem with this change, it requires mental math that most people can't do. The POS machines needs to be programmed to automaticly display rounded change for cash transactions.
It was 2.42.
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
Milk Tea! I gotta get me some of that stuff!
Maybe. There isn't a rounding law in effect, it's only a guideline (2 down 3 up). Retailers can do whatever they like if they think it won't piss off their clientele. Like the scanning code of practice for example.
Yes, I know. What does that have to do with my question, sir

i think the retailer was suppose to round down to 2.40?
on the other note, the Tslion Codes for the games work now again, so for people who got dupes, the first one works, the second one doesnt. (at least thats the way it works for me
)turns out i gave my first code of Bioshock to a Gaffer , and the second one doesn't work
any one have a spare bioshock code? a sad day

I'm not sure if it works but I'll PM you the code I got but never used.
It cost 2.42 (so SHOULD be 2.40), he gave 2.45, he SHOULD have gotten 5 cents back, but didn'. That's how I understood it.
So.. yes, if it was 2.43 and he paid 2.45 he'd get nothing back, if that was your question.
Heh yeah. Hopefully I can find the one we had next time I go. The only one I found was super expensive ($7/bottle...it's good but not THAT good) and is hilariously plastered with Donald Duck portraits. According to Chairman Yang the one we had was "the earl grey flavoured milk tea made by Tea Time".
Yo that sounds pretty good. I've been drinking so much milk tea lately. Tons of godly places in walking distance of my new job.
Yeah it's great. It tastes like tea, but it also oddly tastes like milk steeped in Fruit Loops. I love it.

Down here I've been getting some bubble tea with real matcha inside it. Earl Grey milk tea sounds divine though. There's this awesome place by the arcade I might hit up tonight, if so I'm gonna ask them about EG :3
That was exactly what I typed, so yes that was my question.
Yuuuuuuuuck.

I wasn't sure if your question was to verify someone else's question (with a typo), or if it was a question on its own, so I figured I'd respond to both.
On the day the rounding took effect, I saw a news story on TV saying that there was a bug in one of the most common POS machines in the city, where if you decide to pay by credit card, it concludes that it doesn't need to round, but then if your credit card gets declined and you choose to pay by cash next, the POS machine doesn't know what to do so it crashes.
amazing, haha
I went up a few cents, but I think I'm down 2 now. Not that pleased with it just because it's annoying.

Here are a couple of codes for whoever wants them:
1 Month of PS+ Trial: 452T-J2NT-6P76
iOS Game Rayman Jungle Run: Quote for the code "It's one of nicest iOS games IMO"

Put them in an e-mail tag so those who quote it first gets it. And I would also recommend Rayman Jungle Run. I've had decent fun with it. Simple but effective game. Get all the teeth and be ready for some hard levels.

Sorry I have no idea how to make that quote! Can you let me know?
And yes Rayman is awesome and challenging if you wanna collect all the teeth. I've had it since release.
Look at the above post.

Rayman code : Quote for the code
Edit: done : )
Edit: done : )
.
Quote my post to see what you did wrong, basically you put the code in as the text that the email fits around, so you just need to type something else like "Rayman Code" or something.

Finally got it.
Thanks a lot and sorry for being so noob :s

No problem.
I think we should edit our posts that has the code quoted, otherwise putting it in e-mail tags would be pointless lol.
