"So, the other day, they told me they’d have them tomorrow. I walked up to the counter the next day and the lady had two hamburguesas de pollo con morcilla set aside for me."
I love that shopkeepers will do that for their customers! I asked our butcher for lamb once. He told me to return in a few days. Sure enough, not only did he have it but he happily ground it for me. Maybe I'd have gotten this service in the US but probably not without complaining. It's part of making connections.
Love the local angle.
Will be something we strive for when get to South Africa
