    Anti-foreigner days not just for long noses. Asawa says she received the same treatment last time she was home in 2016. The cashier thought she was Chinese until she started talking Bisyan. When she excitedly told me about it I used one of her favorite phrases against her. "Don't be so high blood"

    1. There are *basket only* lines and then normal lines. I went in a normal line that did NOT have a sign that said cart only but that is how the cashier reacted.
    2. I am actually disabled and have a hard time standing for longer periods due to back and ankle issues. However my VA card means nothing to them.
    3. No one else cares about premier cards and when I do have one when shopping with my fiancee they do NOT remove non premier card holders from the line.

    We are many times not treated equally here, part of life in the Philippines. Good people, bad people in all countries. I know what you talk about, I broke my hips and other body parts in bike accident, no one carries. I pick where to go that time, at first wheelchair then use a stick, in Robinson and Hypermart easy access and early 9-10 am few customers. From time to time, I still ask my self if I live in the right country, honestly, I like it here, but I live in other countries before and will not have a problem to leave Philippines if "situation" goes in a direction I don't like. Many things I don't like here, but it doesn't affect my daily life, because I don't put my focus on the negative side of life, even I still hold my self-updated about what going on here in the Philippines.

    Not really but there are one or two normally empty, If just using the ATM I guess all ok but if you need to go in then we Park in Robinsons and walk across

    Makes sense to me. "Only" has a different meaning in the Philippines. Baskets are "only" supposed to use the line that says baskets only....not any other line.
