better than a pocketful of change
The cashiers at Carrefour (the Fred Meyer of Doha - and, I suspect, much of Europe) have this odd aversion to making change with coins. Every other time I have shopped there, the bill just rounds down to the next lowest riyal and I get straight bills back. Today, my cashier didn't seem to have coins or the ability to round down and tossed in a faux Kit-Kat candy bar from the UAE instead. This was pretty okay with me!

who doesn't love kit kat?!
i'm going to say that 75% of what you've written here mentions food in some way. i am not surprised in the least. i just (or, like, an hour and a half ago) left work and have not had dinner yet, and you are not helping things. though your calf-knuckle story quelled my stomach grumblings a bit.
